Madonna's LP secrets revealed

Madonna News

Apr 08

Madonna's new album Hard Candy is her most lyrically revealing collection ever - picking over the bones of relationships in meltdown.

Tracks frankly dissect the pain that comes when partnerships sour.

The 49-year-old has never been more confessional than on a string of tracks on the collection which is released on April 28.

Here's my pick of the juiciest lyrics.

Miles Away - "I'm alright/Don't be sorry, it's true/When I'm gone you'll realise I'm the best thing that ever happened to you."

She's Not Me - "She's reading my books/Stealing my looks and wearing my lingerie/She's got legs up to there and such beautiful hair/Devoted for life, your beautiful wife/She's not me."

Devil Wouldn't Recognize You - "There's something you should know/Angels that surround my heart/Are telling me to let you go/Over and over you're pulling me back to the floor/I should just walk away. I keep on coming back for more"

Madge has worked with some of the biggest producers on the planet on this - her 11th studio album.

Justin Tinberlake, Timbaland, Kanye West and Pharell Williams all lend a hand on the impressively varied LP.

There's thundering hip hop - Heartbeat, sumptuous disco - Dance 2night and grand balladeering - Voices.
