Madonna & JT – 4 Minutes
The first single from Madonna’s new album Hard Candy, ‘4 minutes’ featuring Justin Timberlake, was a pleasant surprise.
I initially thought the match up of Magde and JT was a little crass after she’d been such a publicly enormous fan of Britney Spears. Awkward. Now I’ve heard what this power couple can create in the music world I’m left wondering why it didn’t happen earlier.
This incredibly powerful electro cross hip hop influenced track with its prominent trumpet base builds an unwavering foundation which also sees the song deliver a touch of Gwen Stefani’s What You Waiting For thrown in for good measure. It’s an incredible combination of both Madonna and JT’s style, with a Sexyback feel mixed with Madonna’s Get Together (Confessions of a Dance Floor).
The beat of 4 Minutes is like nothing else. It’s almost confusing at first. The vocals are also a unique combination of slow and fast-paced, leaving any listener feeling like they can conquer the world if they can simply conquer the lyrics.
Any listener will be hard pressed not to feel themselves being transformed into either into Madonna or JT while listening to this song. Be prepared to find yourself dancing around the kitchen pretending to be the new-age, hard arsed Madge (less the cigar or walking stick) in front of your disinterested cat.
Ironically, ‘4 minutes’ runs only for only 3 minutes 12 seconds, but every second of this is jam packed with action. This power couple has been able to leave the listener wanting more – and hopefully getting more with the release of Hard Candy, expected around 25th April.
