There’s been little definitive information about Madonna’s new album, due out 4/29, until now but Rolling Stone finally has a preview of 5 tracks and some quotes from one of its producers. Early demos that leaked of 2 songs last year suggested the album might be a giant misstep but, encouragingly, Rolling Stone says:
“Fans who worried that Madonna might be losing inspiration as she approaches fifty need not be concerned. The new album takes a few steps away from the hyper-polished future disco of Confessions toward a more urban-oriented, thumpy funk.”
