Image Music News: Madonna pre-releases new Hard Candy album on MySpace.

Why You Care

At 49 years old (why does everyone prematurely keep calling her "50"?!?) she is still proving that she can keep up with the youngest, hottest music acts out there. (If you haven't heard her latest single, "4 Minutes" featuring Timbaland and Justin Timberlake, it's hot!) From pop to rock to dance to flavors of hip-hop, the Queen of Pop is yet again proving that she can hang with the big boys...

... and in more ways than one.

Just an example of how she oh-so-stylishly continues to tell the world to go fuck themselves is how she presents herself: take no prisoners, offer no apologies. Already, she's had people slamming her based on the imagery from her new album as gross or too explicit "for a woman her age" and, yet, while the world is armed to the teeth to write her off as a washed up old lady, she still doesn't give a rat's ass.

Image God, I love that about her.

Hard Candy, Madonna's latest release, is due out on Tuesday - and my preliminary review only requires two words: fucking. awesome.

Don't believe me? Starting today, she's offering up the album for free on MySpace.

Like whatcha hear? (Betcha do!) Preorder it on Amazon.com - or check it out on iTunes. The official U.S. release date is Tuesday, April 29th.

About the Author

Carly Hope Finseth spends much of her time pondering what she wants to be when she grows up. She alternates between days filled with cozy socks, hot tea, and meditative reflection - and others, which are loaded with caffeine fixes, grueling commutes, and one fire to put out after another. When she’s not sifting through e-mails, dropping her cell phone, or sticking another reminder Post-It on her desk, Carly also somehow finds the time to write and reflect on important (and the occasional not-so-important) feminist issues.

About Emily Habermehl: Artist Statement

My main focus in art is color, design and composition. I have a true passion for color as the art subject itself - how colors fit together, how they communicate with each other within the design, how certain colors combined with one another evoke a certain feeling - this is paramount in my work. I am a social worker, artist and poet living in Austin, TX.   Read More...
