Madonna - Hard Candy - New Album

Straight from Warner Brothers, it's Madonna's 11th studio album and it's certainly a sweet treat for all to hear. Hard Candy debuted worldwide in 27 countries at number one. The cd features the current smash hit, "4 Minutes" as co-produced by Madonna, Timbaland and Justin Timberlake. Some other tracks on H-C not to miss, include Give It To Me, Candy Shop and Beat Goes On with Kanye West. The multi-Grammy winner glides her voice over some unique beats, ranging from fluid rhythms to more rigid dance throbs. Madonna's newest took on 4 stars from Rolling Stone, Blender and People Magazine, and the New York Daily News even called it Madonna's greatest album ever.

Hard Candy first hit stores May 8th. Swirled together with the album, Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Tour kicks-off this August. The mega-pop-star plans to not only take a bite out of the USA, but the rest of the globe will also get a taste of Madonna's legendary performances, topped off with intense dancing and choreography.

Madonna will travel to some locations she hasn't visited in over 15 years for her upcoming tour.

Sticky and Sweet is being produced by Live Nation, the same company that created her past 3 global tours.

While Madonna has racked up a ton of classics through the years, it's Hard Candy's fresh hits that will be at the center of the S and S Tour, especially as it's the number one most downloaded digital album in the U-S and other countries.
