This one comes out April 29, 2008. MADONNA’S 11TH STUDIO ALBUM FOR WARNER BROS. RECORDS, ‘HARD CANDY’ IS SCHEDULED FOR AUSTRALIAN RELEASE ON APRIL 28. ‘HARD CANDY’, THE FOLLOW-UP TO ‘CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR’ WHICH DEBUTED AT NO. 1 IN 30 COUNTRIES AND HAS SOLD OVER 8 MILLION COPIES, HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A BRILLIANT UP-TEMPO COLLECTION OF 12 SONGS IN WHICH MADONNA REMAINS ENSCONCED IN CLUB MODE BUT THIS TIME ADDS AN URBAN HIP HOP BEAT IN COLLABORATION WITH MUSICAL PARTNERS TIMBALAND, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, PHARRELL WILLIAMS OF THE NEPTUNES AND NATE “DANJA” HILLS.

It’s being release April 15th. The 11th studio album of her career, E=MC² is the follow-up to The Emancipation Of Mimi, Mariah’s worldwide 10 million selling #1 album, which generated three Grammy awards (including Best Contemporary R&B Album), 2 #1 singles and countless more industry honors during its 18-month stay on the charts. The first single from E=MC² is “Touch My Body,” written and produced by Mariah Carey, C. “Tricky” Stewart, and The-Dream, and blasting out worldwide on February 12th.

50 Cent’s third album CURTIS is literally the worst rap album of the year. It’s only got 2.5 / 5.0 stars and is currently, unfortunately, #4 in music. The delivery on his new album is choppy, his rhymes sloppy, and the content generally concerned with women, murder, and cash. If it’s possible, the lyrical intelligence is lower than any of his previous music.

We could have told you a gorilla can’t rap

Kanye’s third album Graduation also sucks, but not as much. It’s got 4 stars on Amazon, and is currently #1 in music, eclipsing 50’s pathetic new album. There are some great songs–Can’t tell me nothing, Stronger–and some terrible songs–Hot and Drunk Girls, Barry Bonds.

Still not cute, Kanye

The guy to watch out for is Chamillionaire, whose album Ultimate Victory is coming soon…. and let me tell you it’s hot! We’ve already heard Morning News where he raps about “Uncle sam want you to pay your taxes / just to learn gotta pay for classes” and other social issues. I can’t wait:

Here’s Kelly Clarkson’s new album cover for My December:

The music will drop on June 25, 2007 in Europe and on June 26, 2007 here.
