New Madonna: Mmmmmm
Spinning Madonna’s new disc… she’s back to the heavy-beat dance pop she’s been up to for her last few albums, and it’s a sound that suits her well these days.
The album’s called “Hard Candy,” and if nothing else it wins the award for most perfectly named disc of the year so far… the mix of hip-hop thump and lush melody, spun around perfect dancefloor grooves and great production, is summed up nicely by that title.
I was actually hoping Madonna would stick with this sound for a bit, since I really liked “Confessions From A Dance Floor” (terrific workout/running disc!) and wanted to see her work it a bit further…. Bless her, she didn’t let me down.
Come to think of it, she rarely does…
