hard candy

name another near-fifty-year-old who can still rock a hot crotch shot on her album cover

current mood : DANCE

Got this album!! Finally, after a long waiting!! But this album really worth to wait. Not only because I'm M's huge fan, but this album also has a really good vibe, and I think it was made to set the mood. Cos every time you hear that, you don't want to just sit and stand still. But you'll go.. To the left.. To the right :) LOL. Just like she sang in "Give It 2 Me".
I basically love all tracks, but my highlights are :
  • 4 Minutes --> Loved it when the first time I heard that! Superb! Timbaland and JT gave a very nice touch for this song.
  • Candy Shop --> This track leaked all over internet months ago, and it was great! Really catchy. my sugar is raw, sticky and sweet.
  • Give It 2 Me --> Let me tell you now - it's mindblowingly amazing. There's cowbells, twinkles and all. This song will be 2nd single and the tune can't stop spins in your head!
  • Heartbeat --> Heartbeat has a synthy 80s sounding intro. It's the root where she came from, 80s dance music. This song grows every time I hear it.
  • Miles Away --> This song got a dreamy ending. The lyric pretty much told about the "long-distance relationship". Those three words are never enough, when it's long distance love. I guess we're at our best when we're miles away. Gotcha! You wrong! This is NOT a ballad.
  • Incredible --> picks up the disco-fundamentalist baton and flies with it into an enchanted cloudscape of Eighties pop candy floss. Loved IT!
  • She's Not Me --> blissfully heartfelt six minutes. Totally hypnotic. It starts with 4 claps and then all hell breaks loose. This is the tale of a jilted lover and has about 7 different elements. Very creative M. Pharell rap on the end of this song.
  • Beat Goes On --> (which features a Kanye West cameo) is one of a handful of tracks with bells and whistles — the classic disco "toot-toot, beep-beep". This song actually leaked months ago (came along with Candy Shop), but it got a lot of changes, and totally unrecognizable if compared with the demo version.
  • Devil Wouldn't Recognize You --> It's got a gorgeous sad, synth opener which is suddenly compounded by hypnotizing bleeps.
After all, I think this will be one of the most massive M's album. She worked with Timbaland, Justin, Danja, Pharell Williams, Kanye West. C'mmon get your copy now cos it's already available in all stores! Here's the preview :
