Delicious Hard Candy

Perez Hilton noted that Madonna's Hard Candy leaked yesterday.  So of course I turned to my trusted blog resources for the tunes - and I found them.  Now, I'll admit I downloaded the album.  Because lately, the full albums I've heard, like Mariah's, Janet's, etc., haven't been worth the money - not even close.  Madonna's, however, is simply awesome.  It's not heavy on the hip hop (like some feared).  Instead, she returns to a more simple sound, incorporating an 80s sense of pop sensibility, relying on her voice (undistorted) and easy instrumentation to carry the melodies.  In short, don't expect the 11 tunes on the CD to be like that of 4 Minutes because their not - far from it actually.  Which, I'm happy to report, is a good thing.  So yes Madonna will get my $10 next week when Hard Candy is released.  

My favorites:  Give It To Me, Heartbeat,  Beat Goes On, and Dance Tonight with Justin Timberlake.
