Madge Coming To Australia!

Local News, By Christian Taylor, 4th March, 2008

Madonna’s highly anticipated new album comes out in Australia April 26. Entitled Hard Candy, it’s her eleventh studio album and according to her publicity machine it’s a “brilliant up-tempo collection of twelve 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.”

She’s also just revealed that she plans to include Australia in her upcoming world tour itinerary, which will take place later this year and early next year.

“It’s been a while. It’s the least I can do,” she told the Herald Sun in an exclusive interview. Her promoter Michael Chugg said that her tour to Australia is definitely on the cards.

“It is being talked about and there is a promoter trying to put it together,” he said.

Of her new album, Madonna says, “The title is a juxtaposition of tough and sweetness… kind of like I’m gonna kick your ass but it’s going to make you feel good. And of course, I love candy.”

This year the Material Girl was inducted into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame. To be eligible an artist has to have been releasing music for the last 25 years – Madonna got in on her very first year of eligiblity – not a bad effort.

Madge’s last album Confessions On A Dancefloor debuted at number 1 in over 30 countries and sold over eight million copies. Is it any wonder that the lady is worth more than $325 million?

The upcoming single 4 Minutes, is scheduled for release at the end of March through Warner Music.
