- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2008"Hard Candy" is not "Confessions on a Dance Floor" but it's just as good and appealing. Madonna strikes out again to conquer the dance floor with songs that have a more urban flavor to them but remains true to her pop roots. I'd say many of the songs keep with a disco/throw-back sound without the sound effects and overly-processed voices from her past few albums of the 2000s. Best yet, Madonna really does shine in this effort by offering a sampling of songs that are upbeat, fun, containing hidden gems and surprises that'll satisfy most listeners.
While I felt `4 Minutes' was a weak song (though catchy and entertaining) and featured Justin Timberlake more than it did her, the other songs on "Hard Candy" are far better and classic Madonna. The best songs are those produced by Pharrell and The Neptunes who really offer her a fresh sound with great dance beats. `Heartbeat' is a must listen with the great Madonna message of embracing dance as a way of salvation and ignoring the hang ups that come with age. It also contains a great breakdown section, something that's new for Madonna and adds a new edge to her songs produced by this group. `Give it 2 Me' is very pop and in-your-face, anthem-like with Madonna proclaiming she can't be stopped. `Miles Away' offers the album a great pop ballad, perhaps her best ballad since the "American Life" track `Love Profusion'.
The other tracks are fun and keep from being filler tracks. The only track that I'm not entirely sold on is `Spanish Lesson' though it contains a great breakdown with Madonna taking on the school-master persona and demanding we the listeners do our homework and she'll give us more work. The album begins to step away from the dance theme with the last two tracks, offering an odd but still entertaining serious view of Madonna. I thought `Voices' was a near epic song and good choice to close out this chapter of her career, with Madonna asking who really is in control and ending with church bells rather than the clicking clocks that run throughout "Confessions on a Dancefloor" and this album.
In all, this was definitely a pleasant surprise. If you're afraid this is Madonna mid-life crisis attempt to compete with big artist of right now, don't. Though she works with some big names in Hip-Hop, this is just as pop as "Confessions" and fun and dance-like, with Madonna being less preachy and simply giving us more to dance to than to think about. Some of the Timbaland/Justin Timberlake tracks do seem a bit tame and lacking the fun, light spirit Pharrell and The Neptunes injected into her songs, but in all, it's good. "Hard Candy" offers a little something for everyone, just as the lead song suggests. This is one cd you'll want to add to your collection and thus far one of the best to come out in 2008 thus far. - Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2008Madonna brings us her latest album Hard Candy and it does not disappoint. The album is full of dance club hits with a splash of r and b mixed in. This is another good album from the biggest selling and Most Successful Female Recording Artist In History. I meant to give this album 4 out of 5 stars but I can not change it. If you are expecting a genius record like Ray of Light, Music, Confessions, or American Life (yes that was a great NOT political album at all) you will be disappointed, but if you are looking for fun care free music you will really enjoy this.
CANDY SHOP is a great song to start off the album. The song is a very energetic song that is similar to the version that was leaked months ago, but this one has more beats and layers added to it. She seems to be having a blast singing this and brings back lots sexual innuendos for this song. Madonna sings "All the suckers are not all we sell in the store. Chocolate kisses so good you'll be beggin' for more. Don't pretend you're not hungry I've got plenty to eat. Come on in to my store cause my sugar is sweet!" This is a great song that will get you in the mood for the dance club or for working out at the gym. I do wish the album would have opened with a stronger song though because this one is a bit weak for an opening song.
4 MINUTES was the first single from Madonna's Hard Candy album. The song is a very energetic radio friendly track that stays in your head. After being ignored by U.S. radio stations with her last 2 albums American Life, and Confessions on A Dance Floor, Madonna decided to take a different direction and work with hit makers Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. The result forced radio to no longer ignore Madonna and 4 Minutes became her most radio friendly hit in years. Madonna sings "I want somebody to speed it up for me then take it down slow there's enough room for both." The song peaked at 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Madonna's 37th top ten hit pushing her past Elvis Presley as the artist with the most top 10 hits in history. 4 Minutes hit 1 on the Hot 100 Digital Song charts and is expected to bring her total sales for the single to over 1 million in just 5 weeks out it being out.
GIVE IT TO ME is the next single to be released. The song also has a catchy beat that will sure get the dance floor crowd going. Once the chorus starts the club feel kicks in with the synths and Madonna sings "Give it to me, Yeah No one's gonna show me how. Give it to me, Yeah No one's gonna stop me now." This is a great choice as the second single and shows Madonna still can come out with one heck of a killer dance tune! The remix that is on the Hard Candy Deluxe edition from Itunes is a great remix, and makes me wish believe the remixes of some of these songs might just outshine their originals.
HEARTBEAT is one of my many favorite tracks on the new album. The song opens with a heartbeat sound and some synths, and has an amazing beat. The song has a great r and b/dance feel to it and is sure to heat up the charts and the clubs. Madonna sings "This complicated life I try to do my best. I always tell myself it's all just a test. For me it's an escape cause dancing makes you beautiful." Heartbeat is classic Madonna in top form and one of the best songs on the album! I wish Madonna would have stayed more in tune with songs like this on the new album.
MILES AWAY is the closet thing to a ballad on the album. It starts out with a guitar and then turns in to an upbeat song with some sad lyrics in which Madonna sings "When no one's around then I have you here. I begin to see the picture, it becomes so clear. You always have the biggest heart, when we're six thousand miles apart." This is one a beautiful slow songs Madonna, but lacks the power of her true ballads.
SHE'S NOT ME has a funky beat to it in which Madonna describes is about the ultimate jilted lover. Madonna sings "She started dying her hair and wearing the same perfume as me. She's started reading my books and stealing my looks and lingerie." This Madonna song brings us back to those Thief of Hearts Erotica days.
INCREDIBLE is another great song that I really dig. It has a very positive message and an amazing rhythm. Madonna sings "Remembering the very first time you caught that some ones' specials eye. And all of your care dropped, and all of the world just stopped." The song takes a interesting turn at the 3 minutes and 53 second mark when the synths once again kick in and the song gets a little more dancy. I think if the song jumps around a bit too much, and if it would have stayed more consistent or been shortened by a minute or two it would have made the song that much better.
THE BEAT GOES ON is a much better version than the song that was leaked a few months ago. This is a groovy song that seems to have a Marvin gay feel to it. Kanye West makes a special rap cameo on this track and it surprisingly works really well. Madonna sings "You don't have the luxury of time you've got to say what's on your mind. Your head lost in the stars, you'll never go far it's time for you to read the signs." This is another song I ended up enjoying even though it has a rap sequence in it.
DANCE 2NIGHT is a mellow song with a funky 80's retro beat to it is which Madonna once again sings with Justin Timberlake. Madonna sings "You don't have to be beautiful to be understood. You don't have to be rich and famous to be good. You just gotta give more more more than you ever have before." When the song reaches the 4 minute and 22 second mark it sounds like something off of Justin Timberlake's last album. Good song but something seems to be missing and it just seems to be a bit too bland for what we have come to expect from Madonna.
SPANISH LESSON has a very urban tribal beat to it. To me this is the albums weakest song and my least favorite song on the album. The beat is very interesting to say the least but the silly lyrics and the beat just don't seem to do it for me. Madonna sings "If you do your homework maybe I will give you more. When you do your homework get up on the dance floor." I think this song takes away from the quality of the album, and wish there would have been a better song put in its place.
THE DEVIL WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU is a song a lover who can fool everyone but their partner. The song has samples of thunderstorms and rain that add to the very dramatic beat of the song. Madonna sings "Waiting underneath the stars there's something you should know. The angels they surround my heart telling me to let you go." This is a song that takes close listening to the lyrics to really appreciate this gem. The song sounds very similar to Justin Timberlakes "Cry Me a River."
VOICES is a slow song about a person who seems to enjoy playing with others emotions. Very nice beat with Madonna singing in a monotone sort of voice. Madonna sings "First you say you love me. Then you wanna leave me. Then you say you're sorry you play the game so well. I bought your illusion you're the greatest salesman. How could I refuse you when you sold it to yourself?" To me this is one of the weaker songs on the album and one of my least favorites.
The album is very good, but it is no Ray of Light. By no means is this a bad album, but she has had better ones. After listening to it just seems like Madonna's voice is all over the place. I know the girl can sing, (think Ray of Light, Express Yourself, You'll See) but it seems like here her voice is not showcased to the best of its abilities, and comes across at times as very teeny bopper and a just plain weak. I love Madonna and really wanted to give the album five stars, but in all fairness she has done better albums and I expected more from her. I will say it's hard to believe Madonna has been with us forever changing and evolving for over 25 years. Very few artists have had the staying power this woman has had. It is nice to see someone who has not become a victim of celebrity, but a true survivor who leads a clean life and is one heck of a business woman. Even as she approaches 50 she still teaches us all that it's never too late to become a better version of yourself!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsMadonna so wie sie leibt und lebt
1. Candy Shop
wie mein vorgänge schon beschriebt hat, ist es die gleiche version die schon einmal im netz auftauchte. Ich pesöhnlich finde das lied gut zum ausruhen aber es gehört nicht zu den stärksten lieder! (3/5)
2. 4 Minutes
das lied war die beste entscheidung für die 1. single. es hat typische timberland beats. aber ich finde ,dass das lied nicht mit dem rest mithalten kann. (3,5/5)
3. Give It 2 Me
ein hammer song. besser könnter er nicht sein. man fühlt sich wie in den 80er mit einer geilen lyric. (5/5)
4. Heartbeat
typisch madonna. auch ein sehr mitreisender song den man immer und immer wider gerne anhört (4/5)
5. Miles Away
einer der besten balladen die madonna je gemacht hat. ich hoffe das das lied als 3. single veröffentlicht wird da es richtig schon zum mitsummen ist. (5/5)
6. She's Not Me
entlich beweist madonna das niemand sie covern kann und sie die einzigste ist!! (5/5)
7. Incredible
das ist der längste song aber man denkt während dem anhören das es 3 songs seinen. (4/5)
8. Beat Goes On
im grundegenommen ein sehr toller song aber wird von dem rap von dem guten Mr. West zunichte gemacht. ohne diesem rap wäre dieser song genial. aber ich hör immer mit dem anhören auf, wen der rapp kommt deshalb auch: (4/5)
9. Dance 2night
ich mag diesen song unheimlich, zuerst mochte ich ihn überhauptnicht aber nach dem 3 maligem anhören und mit singen liebe ich diesen song. (5/5)
10. Spanish Lesson
meiner meinung der schwächste song vom ganzem album. der refrai ist ganz gut aber der versuch spanisch beizubringen scheitert!! (3/5)
11. Devil Wouldn't Recognize You
beim ersten hören erinnerte mich der song unheimlich an justins hitsongs, wie diese geht der song ins ohr. (4,5/5)
12. Voices
neusten mein lieblings song. von der lyric einfach nur atemberaubend!!!!! (mein geheimtipp)
(5/5)
die bewetung entsteht durch dem vergleich von den songs untereinander, sonst hätten alle 5 punkte bekommen!!!
Fatzit: alle befürchtungen und kein madonna-fan schwöre, die in foren während den letzten monaten kurzierten, sind nicht nachvollziebar da madonna ein wunderbares album gelungen ist. es war die beste entscheidung von ihr mit timberlake und timberland zu prodizieren! - bouvier christopheReviewed in France on May 3, 2025

Très bon produit conforme à sa description encore merci pour la livraison rapide et sérieuse du vendeur. - MicheleReviewed in Italy on March 13, 2017
5.0 out of 5 starsMadonna - Hard Candy
Questo album di Madonna fu pubblicato il 25 Aprile 2008 per la Warner Bros. Records ed è l'undicesimo album in studio della sua discografia. Prodotto da Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, Justin Timberlake, Danja e dalla stessa Madonna contiene 12 tracce tutte scritte dalla stessa Madonna insieme ad autori vari e dagli stessi produttori-musicisti, Nella classifica di vendita italiana questo disco raggiunse il 1° posto nella settimana dell'uscita, come in Inghilterra e in America. Con questo album Madonna conquistò 14 dischi di platino e 7 dischi d'oro nel mondo. Da questo album vennero estratti tre singoli di grandissimo successo: "4 Minutes" - "Give It 2 Me" - "Miles Away". In "Caramella dura" (titolo tradotto in italiano), Madonna spazia dalla pop-dance alla R&B, l'urban hip-pop, il rap. La registrazione digitale è ottima! In totale 56 minuti di musica per ballare in discoteca e a casa, ormai tutte le produzioni della Ciccone sono di altissimo livello e ottimamente suonate. Consigliato a chi ama lo stile di Madonna e le sue canzoni. Grazie ad Amazon per l'imballaggio perfetto del pacco e la velocità di spedizione. Cinque Stelle!!! - Pawel Em.Reviewed in Poland on November 11, 2025
5.0 out of 5 starsŚwietny
Niektórzy mówią o tym albumie, jako najgorszy w historii Madonny. Kompletnie nie zgadzam się z tym, najbardziej dynamiczny, chwytliwy, mastering również pierwsza klasa. Może niezbyt ambitny, zapewne taki miał nie być.
