Madonna's saving the world in four minutes with her new Justin Timberlake-paired single – and, in even less time, saving gay fans from a two-and-a-half-year no-Madge drought. Thanks be to the Gay God for delivering new Janet and Mary J. albums, and a tongue-in-cheek dirty cut from Mariah, in the meantime. "4 Minutes to Save the World," the (leaked) bouncy first single from Madonna's 11th studio album, "Hard Candy" (the follow-up to 2005's "Confessions on a Dance Floor"), is a colorful, psychedelic romp featuring J.T., whom she plays sonic ping-pong with, trading verses about an impending apocalypse. Yeah – don't be fooled by the beat, which boasts marching-band horns and cracklin' drums, and could've smoothly bled into the dance grooves on Timberlake's "FutureSex/LoveSounds." Madonna's final words are, simply, "tick tock tick tock tick tock" – and there's no doubt ya'll will be tick-tocking until you can ear-swallow "Hard Candy" on April 29 (just two weeks after the follow-up to Mimi's mammoth comeback release – yikes!).
What do you think of Madonna's "4 Minutes to Save the World"? Will "Hard Candy" taste sweeter than Mariah's "E=MC²? Tell me!
