After selling eight million copies of Confessions on a Dancefloor worldwide, Madonna will return with follow up, Hard Candy, on 28 April.

Among her musical collaborators this time round are Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, Timbaland and Nate ‘Danja’ Hills so it's no surprise that the disco electro vibe of her previous creation has given way to an sleek urban sound.

The first single entitled ‘4 Minutes’ is released digitally on 26 March.

This album is reputedly her last for Warner and the Maverick imprint as she recently signed a $125m deal with LA music company Live Nation.
