Madonna reveals chemistry in 'Hard Candy' studio

Madonna claims there was plenty of chemistry in the studio during the making of her latest album 'Hard Candy', which saw her collaborate with the likes of Justin Timberlake and Kanye West.

“I like to work with people who have strong opinions,” the star tells Parade.com.

“Justin, Timbaland and Kanye – they are all pretty much superstars in their own right and have a very strong sense of what they like and what they want – but so do I. So it was like many forces meeting all together in a room and it was good give and take. There was a lot of chemistry.”

Madge attributes the success of 'Hard Candy' to her hard work and curiosity.

“I pay attention to what’s going on around me. I’m always looking for new energy, new talent, new voices. When you do that I think it’s easier to come up with fresh ideas.”
