Hard Candy
Since her debut, Madonna has been super-savvy at spotting and recycling trends. Electro and techno, cowboy boots and crucifixes have all been through the Madonna machine, emerging pristinely pop-like and popular at the end of the wash. What makes this – her 11th album – so disappointing, then, is that for once the Queen Of Pop is at the back of the pack rather than leading it. This is...

Madonna - Hard Candy: Wikipedia Album Entry
Hard Candy is the eleventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Madonna and was first released on April 25, 2008 by Warner Bros. Records. Hard Candy is the final studio album released with Warner Bros., with whom Madonna has been signed with for over 25 years.
The album, overall, has a hip-hop/urban pop vibe, while remaining a dance-pop record at heart. In the early stages of recording, Stuart Price, the producer of Confessions on a Dance Floor, described the new album as moving in an urban direction. It had initially been defined as having "a lot of producers from a lot of genres in there.", The Sun proclaiming that "it could be her most ambitious project yet.”
Timbaland, one of the featured producers of the record, referred to the album as being "like 'Holiday' with an R&B groove." Justin Timberlake also defined the album as being "an R&B/pop/dance record." Upon release, The New York Times reviewed the album as "a set of catchy, easily digestible, mass-appeal songs."
The album features vocal appearances from Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Pharrell Williams and Kanye West along with production credits from Timbaland, Timberlake, The Neptunes, and Nate "Danja" Hills as well as co-production from Madonna. Additionally, Hard Candy includes a guest appearance of American guitarist and singer-songwriter Wendy Melvoin, best known for her work with Prince, contributing with guitars on the song "She's Not Me", on which she is mentioned.
The Japanese television drama "Change" also featured "Miles Away" during the closing credits.

Madonna - Hard Candy Lyrics
Madonna - Voices Lyrics
Who is the master? Who is the slave?
Treat me like a curse then tell me I'm your savior
I'm livin' with a stranger I used to know so well
Madonna - Devil Wouldn't Recognize You Lyrics
As quiet as it is tonight
You'd almost think you were safe
Your eyes are full of surprises
They cannot predict my fate
Madonna - Spanish Lesson Lyrics
Work, work, work, work
Work, work, work, work
Yo te quiero means I love you
Madonna - Dance 2night Lyrics
Madonna:
Move your body
Get me from across the floor
Everybodyâs watchinâ
Madonna - Incredible Lyrics
Just one of those things when everything goes incredible
And all is beautiful
(Ca-ca-can't get my head around it, I need to think about it
Can't get my head around it, I-I need to think about it)
Madonna - She s Not Me Lyrics
I should have seen the sign way back then
When she told me that you were her best friend
And now she's rolling, rolling, rolling
And you were stolen, stolen, stolen
Madonna - Give It 2 Me Lyrics
What are you waiting for?
Nobody's gonna show you how
Why wait for someone else
To do what you can do right now?
Madonna - 4 Minutes Lyrics
I'm outta time and all I got is 4 minutes, 4 minutes, hey
I'm outta time and all I got is 4 minutes, 4 minutes, hey
I'm outta time and all I got is 4 minutes, 4 minutes, hey
I'm outta time and all I got is 4 minutes, 4 minutes, hey
Madonna - Heartbeat Lyrics
On any given night, catch me on the floor
Working up a sweat, that's what musicâs for
I'd rather not explain, for me, it's just usual
Madonna - Miles Away Lyrics
I just woke up from a fuzzy dream
You never would believe those things that I have seen
I looked in the mirror and I saw your face
You looked right through me, you were miles away
Madonna - The Beat Goes On Lyrics
Don't sit there like some silly girl
If you wait too long it'll be too late
I'm not telling you something new
There ain't no time to lose
Madonna - Candy Shop Lyrics
See which flavor you like and I'll have it for you
Come on in to my store, I got candy galore
Don't pretend you're not hungry, I've seen it before
I got Turkish delight baby and so much more
Madonna - 4 Minutes Lyrics
I'm outta time and all I got is 4 minutes, 4 minutes, hey
I'm outta time and all I got is 4 minutes, 4 minutes, hey
I'm outta time and all I got is 4 minutes, 4 minutes, hey
I'm outta time and all I got is 4 minutes, 4 minutes, hey
Madonna - She's Not Me Lyrics
I should have seen the sign way back then
When she told me that you were her best friend
And now she's rolling, rolling, rolling
And you were stolen, stolen, stolen
