The Official Madonna Thread IV

[Vinylfantasy]

I googled it real fast and found this.

OMG! LEAKS! Thanks Steven! <3

[Halla]

let's not share the leaks here, just to be on the safe side. I know they technically aren't released yet, but it's a major release so it's just better not to. besides they are easily find via google anyways.

I haven't listened to them yet, but I liked the previews so I have high hopes for the album

[voltron]

Thanks for the leaks, but so far it seems like 4 minutes is the best song.

And is it me, or does the composition of "miles away" sound a LOT like Gwen Stefani's "the real thing"?

[ll moments ll]

i LOVE Miles Away.

i wonder how it will tie-in with CHANGE (since MA's is its theme song) though, lol.

*NOSE BLEEEEEED!*

I can't wait to make this into a poster once we get a hi-res.

Info on the UK Show

"MADONNA and JUSTIN are the surprise headline guests signed up for Radio 1’s Big Weekend in May.

Justin told Radio 1 bosses earlier in the week that if Madge was up for it, so was he.
No1 ... Madonna and Justin
She signed on the dotted line on Friday, so he will be game to get involved too.

Madonna has driven a hard bargain, though.
She won’t do any interviews and she’ll be in and out of the festival faster than a beer down CHRIS MOYLES' throat.

The full lineup for the Big Weekend will be announced today with Moyles kicking off the ticket rush on his breakfast show.
The mini-festival, in Maidstone on May 10 and 11, has become a big event in the music calendar.

Got the leaks

Candy Shop - same as before version.
Give it 2 me - not my favourite. Strange...
Heartbeat - weird
Miles Away - Simply amazing. Love it <<<<<<<<<<<<<<3
She's not me / Incredible - ..
Beats goes on - Song is good, but the guy voice gets rid the whole song.

I dont know why, these songs reminds some elements of Jpop from Koda, Ayu, and Namie. WHYYYYY?

[Rocky Raven]

Yes! They r totally like the sound in SUITE CHIC album of Namie and all the biggest Japan HipHop Stars
I truely love the sound and the different beat of "Give It To Me" from the others!!!!"They do it too, when they were u"! So great!!!!!!! !!!
And "DEVIL Wouldn't recognize You" is a gorgeous song!!!

"Voices" as great as "Frozen" ...

[LEOyumi]

OMG OMG OMGGGGGGG
I'm downloading the full CD right now, but I already heard the 7 tracks that leaked earlier.. All I have to say is that it's nothing like I expected, Maddie just surprised me again! Miles Away is so perfect, so is Heartbeat.. Can't wait to have my own Hard Candy!

NY Magazine grills Madonna on Malawi, her directing debut, and new music.

[kinomaniac]

OMG, I love Devil Wouldn't Recognize You and Voices! I'm still not too fond of Give It 2 Me, but it is growing on me!
Heartplace is beautiful, its melody is simply amazing. Miles Away was the most anticipated one for me, and well... I'm addicted to it!

[Cyria]

I'm really liking the recent photos, apart from the actual album cover and its variations.

[IYFreak]

what the T_T Where are you all finding the album? where did it leak? can someone please tell me or is that against the rules??

Like Halla said, it's probably best not to post such information here now that the official release is close.

I've only listened to the full album once and will have to wait a while before forming my opinion, but I'm absolutely loving Devil Wouldn't Recognize You even on first listen.

[Halla]

I haven't listened to the album enough to really form my opinion, but so far I like "Beat goes on" the best. I just wish it didn't have the rap by Kanye but it's ok.

I think M-dolla (lol) sounds really shrill on the album, they should have used some vocal filters or something because it's something I need to get used to to enjoy the album. On "Candy Shop" her voice sounds especially bad, but it's sorta prevalent on most of the songs. it's distracting
her voice sounded much better on COADF IMO.

[kinomaniac]

I really like Hard Candy as a whole, but it'll definitely have to grow (a lot) on me so it can beat COADF!

So far I guess I like all the tracks, except for Incredible and Give It 2 Me. It's not like I dislike them, I just think they are 'okay'.

[Partino]

have to wait till ... lets say ... 06:45 am .. that's when I coming home from work .. around that time I'm going to listen to the album .. full review is coming on friday.... lol

[kotora]

Seriously, the whole album reminds me japanese music a LOT.

Dance 2night - Good and relaxing, some background music a bit reminds me FREE FREE from Ami.
Devil Wouldn't Recognize You - The beginning of the song reminds me Ayu's music.
BEAT GOES ON - The beginning of the song is like putting ayu and koda music together.

Other songs - I feel like I am listening Japanese music.
