We've got a 19 second clip of one of the newly recorded Madonna songs, tentatively being called "Candy Shop." You might remember we leaked the lyrics for you a few days ago... ;)
Anyway, I don't want to turn this into a Madonna-blog, but she IS the biggest mainstream dance music artist... so anything she does is big news and tends to have ripple effects throughout the dance music universe.
Are you guys ready? No, really, are you ready??
Bear in mind it's super low quality, and the verse you're about to hear is actually the bridge that comes right before the chorus...
Go ahead and take a listen here!!

What do you think??
I know, I know, it's hard to tell with a 19 second clip. But this sounds like it could be really promising! Supposedly this is one of the Pharrell Williams-produced tracks, and you can definitely hear those urban beats. I was nervous about Madonna working with hip-hop producers, because I would never want to see her compromise her dance-pop sound. BUT this sounds like it's what we usually expect from Madonna; her taking a new genre and giving it a shot of her own style. The bass drum backbeat and the breathy vocals make this sound like a "dancier" version of "Justify My Love" if you ask me. And that's a good thing! I like my sexxxy Madonna, thank you very much ;)
If this isn't good news to end the week on, I don't know what is :) I'm interested to hear what you all think.
Me, I'll be listening to this 19 second clip for the next 19 hours!
Lotsa love,

The clip is very promising. Noo surprise here. Maddy has worked with RnB producers before(Babyface, Nelle hooper, Dallas Austin). Plus, Tiimbaland and Pharrell have been using old school house and techno songs for their samples. The album will be perfect.
