For Madonna‘s twelfth studio album, the Material Girl has ditched the ‘hard candy’ in favor of something stronger, something meaner. Something she bills, her ‘MDNA’.

A Pop triangulation of sorts, the set was primary produced by the singer’s longtime collaborator William Orbit and two contemporary composers, Benny Benassi and Martin Solveig, to inject an air of “fresh” and “exciting”. As always, being the businesswoman that she is, M shares a songwriting and producing credit on every track.

As her first release not to be associated with Warner Bros. Records (the label she called home since 1982), all eyes are on whether the ‘Queen of Pop’ has crafted a blockbuster Pop LP. One which firmly plants her as a viable contender against the Rihanna‘s and Katy Perry‘s of the world. And one which, at the same time, reintroduces her brand to the ‘YouTube Generation’.

Beyond this, there also remains the penultimate question: as a solid body of work, how hard does ‘MDNA’ hit? Swallow the full review after the jump.

Having cultivated a small audience by way of sexually-charged lyrics and near-nakedness, the self-styled “Trigga” declares ‘Sex Ain’t Better Than Love’ in his latest video.

And though the crooner is gearing up for the release of his new single ‘Heart Attack’ and its housing album ‘Chapter 5’, this cut is actually lifted from last year’s ‘Inevitable’ EP. (Don’t worry, we never heard it either).

A genuine thrust to mature musically or a contrived step now that his once-plush spot has been reoccupied?

Whatever the case, taste the contradiction below…

If there’s one thing Toni Braxton knows, it’s how how to serve up “diva fierce”.

Case, point, her breathtaking shoot for ‘She Knows’.

The music maestra strikes many a hot tamale pose for the site’s ‘Where’s My Sock?’ campaign, which serves to benefit the Autism Speaks charity.

Over the years, the ‘I Heart You’ singer has been vocal about issues pertaining to Autism, a condition her 9 year old son Diezel lives with.
