Madonna Names New Album “Licorice,” Swipes Song Title From 50 Cent

12/6/07, 7:06 pm EST

Madonna’s new album, the last in her long tenure at Warner Bros., will be named Licorice (which helps explain why the conference room where she premiered tracks for her label earlier this week was decked out in a candy motif). The news broke today on Sirius Satellite radio show “OutQ,” which also aired two songs from the album, one called “Candy Shop” (we imagine 50 Cent has already called his lawyers from Croatia) which features Pharrell, and “The Beat Goes On” which features Kanye West. As we reported yesterday, the album, which is due out in late April, will also unearth the long-unreleased “The Devil Wouldn’t Recognize You.” Since this is the Material Girl’s last album of original material with WB before her massive ten-year contract with Artist Nation kicks in, Madonna could’ve just released the dreaded “contractual obligation” record, but by employing the Neptunes’ Pharrell, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Akon, Danja and many more, it looks like she’ll be leaving her former employer with a tasty chart-topping gift.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, the Billboard story Rock Daily linked to for this post was later proved incorrect. “Wrong title. Release date wrong, etc.,” Madonna’s publicist, Liz Rosenberg said in a statement.

It stops: Britney Spears

I love you much Britney. No matter how much ja you passed you continue to be a great singer and a great woman.
You have problems, I I know, but much people think that for tares “maluca” have to hate you,
e I do not think thus, you es and always seras the Britney Spears that all we conheçemos in them, rapariga that we conheçemos since the “Baby One More Teams” ties to the “Gimme lives”. All we have in them more than problems ones what the others,
but the life is very unjust, and how much to this nothing we can make. I adore you Britney, these always in my Heart…

Hmmmm….for those of you criticizing Madonna and talking about her having to hang up her cleats, come back and post a comment after you’ve released more than ten albums, won several grammys, and had a more than three-decade long career, then you might sound like you actually know what you’re talking about, instead of like some idiot who doesn’t have a clue :)

RE:”ALLIN ROBERTSON | 12/7/2007, 1:03 am EST

Anyone who has time to criticize Madonna on here was either a previous fan or a closet madonna fan. If for some reason you really don’t like her or her music ask yourself why do you bother to respond to information about her. Madonna is the most amazing entertainer we have that has never faultered. She is in many ways an amazing inspiration to live life to the fullest. She is almost 50 and does not need to hang up her ‘fuckin’ cleats’ as Bukowski mentioned above. Watch Confessions DVD Tour and you will see the hard working woman at her best! Compare Madonna to all these other poptarts. The longeveity of Madonna is awe-inspiring.”

On behalf of Bukowski and others who have actual living brain matter have always felt the same way . . .

Two words: FUCK MADONNA!

“Licorice root has been used as a dietary supplement for infections caused by viruses, such as hepatitis. In large amounts, licorice containing glycyrrhizin can cause high blood pressure, salt and water retention, and low potassium levels, which could lead to heart problems.”

LOL! Wow, “jane” you’re about as fun as reading the obituaries!

Mike | 12/7/2007, 3:04 pm EST

Licorice is not the real title. that title came from a fake album cover created by a fan, which was then picked up by this Sirius DJ (who was playing previously leaked demo versions by the way) and now it’s spread like wildfire. check your sources.

Mikey Z. | 12/7/2007, 9:45 am EST

50 was on the Stern show the day after Curtis’ release, he talked about a friendship with Madonna, so there won’t be a problem.
Hey Jann, how about hiring a fact checker ?

Look at that fucking tongue… shit for a fifty year old lady she looks damn good. Hell she looks damn good for a twenty five year old. She can lick my licorice any time she wants.

Ha Ha! Too funny. My favorite candy has always been licorice. . . my favorite artist? Madonna. Who ever would have thought the two would meet? Can’t wait to check it out. Hope there is a title track. . . that would sure be “sweet.”

rolls off the tongue, eh?

Okaaaayyyy . . . whatever, man.

Yeah, I’ll stick with buying music made by ROCK BANDS.

You can stay with your sticky- sweet electronic studio-treated licorice bullshit!

Frank | 12/6/2007, 11:34 pm EST

actually, I love the title. it rolls off the tongue and it’s very Madonna… you obviously don’t like her stuff so the don’t buy it and go buy all that stuff out there that’s so deep. Get off your high horse.

Bukowski | 12/6/2007, 8:07 pm EST

Licorice? Wow, Madonna’s real deep these days. Why not call it Gob Stoppers or Juicy Fruit?

She’s definitely lost her fastball. Time to hang up your fuckin’ cleats, lady!
