Madonna to Release Final Warner Bros. Album

Madonna has titled her final album of new material Hard Candy for her longtime Warner Bros. label and will release it on April 29, her publicist confirmed to Reuters on Tuesday.

The album, which features such songs as "Candy Store" and the first single, "Four Minutes," is the follow-up to Confessions on a Dance Floor, which debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. pop chart in November 2005.

Hard Candy will be Madonna's last studio release for Warner Bros. before she begins a wide-ranging 10-year recording, touring and merchandising deal with Artist Nation. Warner Bros. will also release a greatest hits collection.

"It's about the juxtaposition of tough and sweetness, or as Madonna so eloquently expressed, 'I'm gonna kick your ass, but it's going to make you feel good,'" said Madonna's longtime rep Liz Rosenberg.

The album features Justin Timberlake on multiple tracks, with production by Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, and Nate "Danja" Hills.
