The Material Girl really knows how to reinvent herself and turns her latest gamble “Hard Candy” on top of the Billboard 200 chart, the pop music’s Queen’s seventh and No. 1 album.

“Hard Candy” brings out Madonna’s knock for turning hip-hop’s bloated sound into dance- floor gems. The album’s catchy first tracks are among it’s best cuts: “Candy Shop” is dazzling infections as Madonna playfully intones, it is “raw, sticky, and sweet.”

Her rendition of “Devil Wouldn’t Recognize You,” shows Madonna’s growth and depth as a performer, and the provocative “Voices,” which starts with “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

In “Miles Away”, Madonna warns: “When I’m gone you’ll realize that I’m the best thing that happened to you.” In “She’s Not Me,” She boldly intones: “She’s not me, She doesn’t have my name. She’ll never have what I have…”

The urban -dance thunderous sound and Madonna’s irrepressible confident grasp of the language of dance music makes “Hard Candy” worthy of her listeners’ attention.
