it's coming....

no it's not the new cover for the new madonna album but my god i wish it was! steven klein is a genius and i'm so glad that she continues to work with him. his photography is fantastic and really captures her in the most perfect way. she's always worked with the right photographers all throughout her career and they all served their purpose. she's also reunited with steven meisel, of sex book fame, for a supposedly really steamy lingerie clad magazine spread soon to hit the stands. a forty nine year old woman posing in lingerie...who else but madonna?

as for the new album, reviews have been coming in from left and right and they are all obviously biased whether they're from bitchy queens who want to see her fail or rabid fans who in their eyes can do no wrong. i'm waiting to get my own impression as the leaks come in. there are some low quality snippets of the lead single 'four minutes' but it's hard to hear the vocals on it and i definitely want to hear it in full quality. strangely enough, two of the songs that leaked last year, candy store and the beat goes on are both still making their way onto the album despite how long ago they leaked. candy store is mediocre and is unfortunately the album opener. the 'sticky and sweet' party is it's saving grace though...you'll agree i'm sure. 'the beat goes on' has become 'beat goes on' and features a rap by crybaby kanye west. it just seems like bedtime stories all over again without the bjork song of course. there is a song on the album called 'incredible' that i'm interested in hearing along with 'voices' and the supposed pop perfection of a song called 'give it 2 me'. the single hits radio soon and the album comes out on april 28th. i'm sure we'll have the whole album leaked somewhere around mid april. i'll be sure to let you know where to find it. here's another steven klein shot that is sexy and cool with a bitchy rugged undertone...very klein...very madonna...
