Hard Candy is the eleventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Madonna and was released first on April 28, 2008[1][2] by Warner Bros. Records. It was her last studio album to be released under her contract with Warner Bros,[3] with a compilation album to be released in late 2008 or early 2009 to complete it.[4]

Contents

[edit] Release

April 26 was the release date in Australia but many retailers chose to sell the album two days early on April 24, while a select few European countries saw the album's release on April 25; on 28 April 2008[5] in the United Kingdom, Brazil and most other European countries, and on 29 April 2008 in the United States, Argentina, Mexico and Canada.[1]

Seven songs from the album were also made available through download via mobile phone. During the week prior to release, one song a day was available to download.[6] Beginning on April 21 and ending on April 27, these songs were distributed: "Candy Shop", "Miles Away", "Give It 2 Me", "Heartbeat", "Beat Goes On", "Devil Wouldn't Recognize You" and "She's Not Me". The album was also streamed on MySpace, four days before the United States release.[7]

To promote the album, Madonna performed three dates in New York, Paris and Maidstone on the Hard Candy Promo Tour. Madonna will embark on a full world concert tour in 2008, the Sticky & Sweet Tour, which will see dates in North America, Europe and South America.

[edit] Musical style

The album has an overall hip-hop/urban pop feel, while remaining a dance-pop record at heart.[8] Stuart Price, the producer of Confessions on a Dance Floor, described the new album as moving in an urban direction.[9] It has been defined as having "a lot of producers from a lot of genres in there." And also that "it could be her most ambitious project yet.”[8]

Timbaland, one of the producers of the record, called the album "like 'Holiday' with an R&B groove."[10] Justin Timberlake also defined the album as being "an R&B/pop/dance record.”[11] The New York Times viewed the album as "a set of catchy, easily digestible, mass-appeal songs."[12]

The album features vocal appearances by Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Pharrell Williams and Kanye West along with production credits from Timbaland, Timberlake, The Neptunes, and Nate "Danja" Hills as well as co-production from Madonna, and includes a guest appearance of American guitarist and singer-songwriter Wendy Melvoin, best known for her work with Prince, contributing with guitars on the song "She's Not Me", on which she is mentioned.

[edit] Reception

[edit] Critical reception

Like Confessions on a Dancefloor,[13] the album received favorable reviews.[14] Reuters noted: "As parting gifts go, Madonna's 11th studio album — and her last before she exits long-term record label Warner Bros. — is unusually generous, if early reviews are to be believed. [...]Released internationally this week, and hitting U.S. stores on Tuesday, Hard Candy scored solidly among rock critics."[15] Rolling Stone said that Hard Candy is the work of "a songwriting team of American chart royalty" that help "revisit her roots as an urban-disco queen."[16] The Observer wrote that "whenever Hard Candy threatens to get boring, something always happens to recapture your interest."[17]

The album was still criticized for being "an attempt to harness the urban market",[18] with Mark Savage, of BBC Music, writing that "Timbaland's tracks are frequently reminiscent of his (superior) work for Nelly Furtado" and later stated that "if a handful of the tracks had been delivered to more producers with a touch more subtlety, Hard Candy could have ranked alongside Madonna's best."[18] The Times felt similarly, noting that while "Hard Candy is no disaster, " the album's producers have "already done the same thing with Nelly Furtado, Britney Spears and Gwen Stefani."[19] The Independent said that the album reflects "how a once diverse talent has ossified into simply satisfying the sweet tooth of functional dance-pop."[20]

[edit] Chart performance

The album debuted at number one in twenty-seven countries, including United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Germany, Canada, the United States, Italy, France, Greece, Japan, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Portugal, Poland, South Africa, Sweden, Spain, Finland and Slovakia.[21]

During its first day of release in the Netherlands, Hard Candy sold over 60,000 copies, gaining a platinum certification.[22] Also in Finland, it has already sold more than 15,000 copies, making the album receive a Gold certification in Finland on its first day of release.[23] After two days of release in France, Hard Candy has debuted at number one on the French albums chart.[24] It debuted at number one on the Oricon daily album chart in Japan, selling about 9,387 copies.[25]

Hard Candy also debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, where Madonna joined a select group of artists to achieve ten number one albums, behind Elvis Presley, with eleven, and The Beatles, with fifteen.[26] Madonna achieved a similar feat in Australia, where it became her seventh album to reach number one on the ARIA Albums Chart. The album was certified gold in its first week.[27]

According to Nielsen SoundScan, Hard Candy sold 100,000 copies in the United States upon its first day of release.[28] It officially debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with over 280,000 copies sold.[29] Hard Candy became her seventh number one album, making her the second female artist with the most number one albums, behind Barbra Streisand.[29] It was certified Gold on June 4, 2008, a month after its release. [30]

In Latin America the album was also well-received by the public, reaching number nineteen on the Mexican Top 100 Albums chart based on three-day sales alone,[31] and after three weeks in the chart, the album has peaked at number four.[32] also reaching number five on the International Top 20,[33] In Brazil the album entered straight at number three, before moving up to number two.[34] In Argentina, after debuting at number-four based on shipments, it climbed to number one.[35]
