Sounds like it's only really 2-3 tracks ballads, which is a good mix for me when it comes to Madonna. Falling Free does sound great, and has that William Orbit sound yet doesn't sound dated, which I worried about from some of his other recent productions which sounded like the 90s (even his work on the Music album was kinda disappointing). Very optimistic.
One complaint, from all the reviews, it sounds like Falling Free is the perfect ending to the album. I'll be buying the deluxe edition, but it's too bad to have the four upbeat tracks after it again, then.
based on some of the reviews... it's questionable as to why these 4 tracks were just not included on the album as they say the 4 extra tracks are just damn good too.
maybe because of the content? i believe 'I f***ed up' is a bonus track and that's the one she goes honest/vulnerable about her relationship with guy ritchie.
and happy bday eric..

I think so. There's like 5 different versions of the album coming out because of lyrics- and a Walmart version (clean) like they did with Erotica.
Here's "I Don't give A .****..'
Nicky Minaj is better utilized on this song than on GMAYL
ANd I enjoy how Madonna exclaims how she doesn't care what Namo says on this song. I am also enjoying how open she is about Guy Ritchie by this little snippet.
haha so you did listen to it. Not my fave clip, that would be Falling Free and Love Spent, but i like the section where the beat drops out and also the rap.
Namo i love u but we get it already....you don't like Madonna
I find "i Don't ive A' an upbeat electronica version of 'jenny From the Block' meets 'American Life'. it's fun, nothing to it. I just enjoy watching Namo dance to Girl GOne Wild on this clip.
lol these clips are far better than anything that appeared on Hard Candy, hence the great reviews from the critics. As i say it comes down to musical taste and i think age as well.

The album leaked today, for anyone that's interested. It's quite good, with "Gang Bang" being the highlight as the most rockin, campy pop song of the past decade.
I have to say i am thrilled with the new album, the critics are right on the money with this one, its a return to form and one of her best albums in a long time. Pure dance/techno/retro beats, high energy, incredible production and so many stand out songs.
Love Spent and Gang Bang are 2 of her best songs in years, I'm Addicted, Falling Free, I F*CKed Up, I Dont Give a, Best Friend, beautiful Killer are fantastic. The only weak song in my opinion is Some Girls, Gimmie All Your Luvin sticks out like a sore thumb, Girl Gone Wild i really enjoy, Turn Up the Radio should have been the lead single.
oh Namo, give it up, critics and fans alike are in love with the album. I will be more specific after Ray of Light, Like a Prayer and Confessions it's her best album.

Good for you! Don't be afraid to go out on a limb!
My friend who was with me at the exact moment I had finally had enough of Madonna (1/3 of the way through one of the Confession shows) has apparently done what a lot of you superfans who love and support Madonna seem to be doing: illegally downloaded her illegally leaked new cd. Naturally, he has sent me what he thinks are the best lyrics he's heard thus far:
Now drive bitch I said drive bitch And while you're at it, die bitch That's right drive bitch
Now drive bitch I said drive bitch And while you're at it, die bitch That's right drive bitch
Now if you're gonna act like a bitch Then you're gonna die like a bitch
lol they are not the best lyrics on the album but its one of the best songs (critics have gone wild for the song and its easy to see why if you actually listen to it). And yes i have streamed the new album but purchased my copy on Pre Order so dont feel too bad lol.
It's very easy to insult or criticise when you have not heard the album luv.

Well, I won't steal music. I'll leave that to you fans. I will just have to wait for it to be on Spotify. I have heard all the clips that have been posted here. I will reserve judgment on the level of badness she achieves until I hear the whole thing. I actually am interested in hearing it, which is more than I could say about Hard Candy.
