Everybody Loves Madonna's Hard Candy

Madonna and her daughter Lourdes leave London's Heathrow for New York to begin Hard Candy (out Tuesday April 29) promotional blitz. The "Four Minutes" single tops the UK chart and six tracks from Hard Candy were leaked on the internet.

Rolling Stone gives Hard Candy 4 stars and their average user rate it 4 1/2 stars.

Here's part of the review: "Madonna can still scoff at wanna-be's half her age because she's stayed so flexible with her sound. (She's performed a similar feat with her body, devoting herself to a yoga regimen that's made her impossibly elastic — name another near-fifty-year-old who can still rock a hot crotch shot on her album cover.) Even when she wrestles with Pharrell's abrupt stylistic changes or lets herself get absorbed in a Timberlake melody, Madonna still finds her way back on top. The atmospheric closing track, "Voices," poses the question "Who is the master, who is the slave?" before its operatic wind-down ends in a dramatic bell toll. The answer to both questions is still Madonna."
