Hard Candy - Madonna Reviews

Following up Confession on a Dance Floor, Hard Candy is Madonn's 11th studio album. The big question is whether the original Queen of pop is still going strong on this effort? I'm big fan of Madonn's classic material such as Like A Virgin & Cherish which all had a very distinctive sound, so far though I haven't been so keen on her ...  Read the complete review

A review of the standard twelve-track album that is available in physical or digital versions. A version with thirteen tracks was available on iTunes for a short period of time. For a lady who just clocked up her fiftieth year on the planet, you have to hand it to Madonna. As a recording artist and a celebrity, she is constantly in the ...  Read the complete review

I didn't believe it was possible to release an entire album of 'growers'. Hard Candy has proved me wrong. To be fair, as someone who is not all that fond of hip hop, I may have been subconsciously willing myself to dislike it, given the Timbaland/Pharrell production. In truth, I found it less hip hop and more the kind of dance based ...  Read the complete review

Hard Candy is Madonna's twelfth studio album and she seams to have gone back to her raunchy roots if the cover is anything to go by! She has tried to make the album more urban but at the end of the day Madonna is dance and pop and there is no getting away from that, even recruiting Timbaland could not stop this album being poppy! The first song on ...  Read the complete review

I would consider myself a Madonna fan to some degree. I usually respect her for not conforming to the most popular bandwagons out there and trying to fill a gap in the market, like she did with the Confessions era. This time however, Madonna has jumped on the biggest bandwagon going, and for Hard Candy enlisted the help of the hottest urban ...  Read the complete review

Hard Candy is the eleventh studio album from the chameleon of pop colloquially known as Madonna and the follow up to her 2005's hugely successful Confessions On A Dancefloor album. Throughout her career, which spans three decades she has consistently proved to have her finger on the musical pulse and her ability to re-invent herself to ...  Read the complete review

I've never been that into Madonna. She's sleazy and seedy in all the wrong ways. For years now, she's shocked her way into relevance with lesbian kisses, bondage sessions on film, and unneccessary rants at kids concerts which involves far too many expletives. Nearing 50, Madonna still hasn't grasped the fact that you can be controversial ...  Read the complete review

If ever there was an artist that did not require an introduction it would be Madonna, the Maradona of the music industry and the most successful solo female artist in the world. 'Hard Candy' comes as Madonna's eleventh album spanning over a career that first began in 1982, and will be the last album of original material released from her on the ...  Read the complete review

This was a must buy as I love the new Madonna and Justin Timberlake single 4 minutes, so this was a must have. This album delivers a fresh sounding Madonna with a bit more edge to it and you will not be dissappointed with the outcome. This is 2008 and Hard Candy certainly returns Madonna to the throne of Queen on Pop with a ...  Read the complete review

After the massive Worldwide smash of Madonna's last album "Confessions on a dance floor" comes her 11th studio album entitled "Hard Candy" Now i was a little worried when i heard that Madonna would be changing direction completely with this record from her previous (which she usually does) the reason i was concerned ...  Read the complete review
