Dirty Martini Society

I held out as long as possible. After hearing "4 Minutes" over and over in the SF Clubs and radio I was highly opposed to reviewing the entire album, but a free copy fell into my clutches so I figured why not! If you like Confessions on the Dance Floor, then Hard Candy is a nice follow up. Madonna or "M-Dolla" pairs up with Timbaland for a beat heavy 12 track cd which for the most part is fun to dance to. For the hardcore fans I recommend checking out the track "Incredible," as it had me table dancing at a recent birthday party. Overall, Hard Candy is a strong album, but falls short of a DMS endorsement. Don't get me wrong, we love Madonna, but Hard Candy is a sweet reminder that home girl can always sell an album even if the material is a bit over the top and lacking in originality.
