It's the Australian promo, not a commercial release. There's also this Mexican promo

Does anyone have the first Australian promo CD pic in HQ

I have not watched this video for a long time. It feels very dated now the Timberland stuff but maybe it's just me? 4 Minutes is not a go to song for me. I don't think I listen to Hard Candy much either. It's only now 20 years later that I have started to enjoy American Life more. 

I think it’s the opposite. To me it sounded dated at the time because I was over the Timbaland/Justin sound.

But I think it aged very well taken out of that context 

[animalinstinct 2,043]

The Timbaland & Pharrell sound seems to have come back to being popular again, thanks to TikTok, so it’s great timing for the upscale.

If it was going to be anything like their Sorry mix then I’m glad it didn’t pan out.

The whole album sounds dated to me now because it was so overused by the time M jumped on the Timberlake / land bus 🤪

Hard Candy is a very enjoyable album but it is now dated as hell.

It really isn’t cause that sound is making a comeback currently. 😂🤭

The album has aged surprisingly well.

Not to my ears.

I do still enjoy the album, though.

I wonder how Hard Candy would have been received if it had been her 2003 album around the time Kelis Kalaidescope album was out and we had got American Life in 2008 instead

[BuggedOut 4,121]

I think Timbalands Hard Candy sound peaked with Nelly Furtado in 2006 or so.

Hard Candy would have been perfect in 2006.

4 Minutes is actually her last appreciated song by the general public. 15 years & still fresh! 😎

It's a great song!

Give It 2 Me and Celebration still get the general public singing I've noticed too :D

Hard Candy is a fabulous album. 4 Minutes is a bop, and there’s a movement to make it a gay cult classic.

I love it.

The bowel movement are Erotten stans trying to proclaim her most dated album to date her best album. 💋

Y'all being so objectively black and white about things is exhausting. Best worst most least.... Joy is a moving spectrum. Sit in it if it shines for you.

It can be anything. It's all just a lottery.

That would've been Madonna. I'm pretty sure Warner would've been the ones pushing for a follow up Confession Pt.2

Exactly, since the beginning of her career when she wants to get rid of a producer she has someone tell them that the record company is pressuring her to change instead of telling them more directly. Pet shop boys were told that it was record label pressure to change so they wouldn’t be mad at The Madonna.

Creo que es todo lo contrario. Para mí sonaba anticuado en ese momento porque estaba sobre el sonido de Timbaland/Justin.

Pero creo que envejeció muy bien sacado de ese contexto. 

Ahora valoro más "Hard Candy", y el clip me parece un gran trabajo. Es un disco más personal de lo que se sintió en su momento, inconexo y desestructurado por momentos, pero tiene buenos temas y temáticas como " 4 minutes" (concienciación social), "Give It 2 me" (autoafirmación Madonna total), "Miles Away" (relaciones a distancia), "Devil" (engaño y traición), "Voices" (manipulación en las relaciones).

Además tuvo 3 nominaciones a los grammies, otros discos de éxito no las tuvieron, en concreto en mejor colaboración ("4 minutes"), mejor remix (Junkie XL por "4minutes") y mejor grabación dance por "Give It 2 Me"

Además gracias a "4minutes" Madonna se inspiró para hacer su documental de la hambruna en los niños de Malawi...

Luego otro tema son los "caramelos" que se digieren peor como "Spanish Lesson" pero Madonna lleva sus ideas hasta el final y eso hizo ("Si haces tus deberes te daré más"🔥🔥)

"She's not me" la habría reducido a 4 minutos pero bueno.. ella sabrá... Para mí es como la otra cara de "Thief of Hearts", vamos alguien que adopta tu personalidad para levantarte al novio... Lo de Lady GaGa siento que no pensó en ella cuando la hizo, vino después y le dio la vuelta al asunto...

En fin felicidades "Hard Candy"🎂🍡🍡🍡🍡🍡🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍬🍬🍬

[Blue Jean 15,114]

I think Hard Candy was more dated in 2008 than it is today

[subversive 1,105]

I've just give a spin to Hard Candy, And I realise that beat goes on and 4 minutes have the same meaning/message. Strawberry kisses for all of you!
