HOT TAMALES part I

From Warner Bross

Thanks to Clare & Madonnalicious

The Warner Brothers Press Information site published this blog on the new album listening party that took place in December in New York City.

'It's not every day that Warner Bros. Records gets a visit from the Material Girl herself. Well we didn't exactly roll out a red carpet - but we did build a plastic brick path inspired by the Candyland game that Miss M. happily strolled down on the way to our conference room which was completely transformed into a palatial pink and white candy emporium. All we knew was there was a song on her upcoming CD that mentions a candy shop - henceforth our theme. And of course, Madonna's love for candy - especially hot tamales is pretty well known.
This was strictly for the Warner Bros. Records employees - no press, no photographers, no cell phones. Madonna, always the perfect hostess screamed out different song choices to our resident dj by numbers. 'Jesse, play no. 5 next' and so on. We were treated to l0 songs with comments by the artist on some of her collaborators Pharrell, Justin, Timbaland, an appearance by Kanye West, etc.
Every song was a knock out with two apparant favorites being Four Minutes to Save The World and Candy Shop or Candy Store (not decided)....Madonna mentioned she was a little nervous as it was the first official playing of the music. Thankfully it was a room filled with Madonna fans who cheered after every song was played. Champagne and soda and lots of candy later, we all agreed that we felt blessed that we worked at Warner Bros. Records.'

Madonna's record label has denied reports that her new album will be called 'Licorice' and will come out in late April.
Billboard.com reported that Sirius Satellite Radio host Larry Flick, a former Billboard editor, announced the title and release date on his 'OutQ' show Thursday.
'Sirius does not know what they are talking about,' Warner Bros, spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said in an email to Reuters. 'Wrong title. Release date wrong etc.'
Flick reportedly aired two songs from the album, 'Candy Shop' and 'The Beat Goes On,' both of which leaked online earlier this year.
The new album will be Madonna's last release of new material for Warner Bros. before she begins a wide-ranging 10-year deal with Artist Nation, a new initiative launched by concert promoter Live Nation. Warner Bros. will also release a hits collection.
