The only thing i don’t like in this album, it’s the artwork. Bad choice.
Paradise, I don’t like the album cover either! Get past it though, Hard Candy is Madonna’s most underrated artwork! Four Minutes is about time travel, Give It to Me is about being strong and living in Our Future while Heartbeat and Dance Tonight is about having the time of Madonna’s life balanced out by four songs that lay bare the end of a marriage and friendship that could be fixed! The quartet of sadness on Hard Candy is as follows-Miles Away, Incredible, Devil Wouldn’t Recognize You and Voices lay bare her feelings for Guy! Result-Madonna lost him! Hard Candy-Madonna’s saddest record!
“Devil Wouldn’t Recognize You” has to be in my top 10 favorite Madonna songs of all time. Brilliant song. Have to agree that the album artwork is kind of odd.
