Genre: Pop, DanceI'm so glad that the single's cover isn't anything like Hard Candy's (*shudder*)... if you haven't seen it, trust me, Madonna isn't doing herself any favours.
Anyways, "4 Minutes" is a song that has a lot going on... ticking, trumpets, drums...not to mention JT and Timbaland...
And what's my response? ....well, it's kind of a "meh" moment... I mean, the song should be really good; it has a catchy refrain, a good background beat, and JT and Madonna are great together...it's as good as any current song within it's genre, which is exactly the problem.
It's as good, not better, and after two years of Timbaland infected music and JT blaring over the radio, it just doesn't catch my attention as much. It will be a hit, no question, but it doesn't really add anything to music. It's the chorus, really, that will pull people in (it's what caught my attention when I heard the song on TV), but I was disappointed that it's only repeated twice in the song...thanks largely to how long the verses were...
Final thoughts: There isn't too much to say... it's catchy, but at the same time familiar and bland... so far this intro to Hard Candy doesn't say too much.
RATING
