Madonna’s eleventh studio album will be entitled ‘Hard Candy’, her record label Warner Brothers have announced.

The album will be released in the UK and Europe on April 28th, and a day later in America.

‘Hard Candy’ has been produced by American producers Timbaland and Nate ‘Danja’ Hills and features collaborations with Justin Timberlake and Pharrell Williams.

Madonna will precede the much anticipated album with the single ‘Four Minutes’.

The album is Madonna’s last record with Warners Brothers before she moves to concert promoter Live Nation.

The ten-year deal will see Live Nation take control of the singer’s promotional and recording duties.
