Madonna / Timberlake / Timbaland Collaboration "4 Minutes"
With Timbaland's signature "heys" sprinkled throughout "4 Minutes (To Save The World)" Madonna triumphantly finds another way to groove her way to the top of the charts worldwide staying contemporary, urban, hip and fresh with a funky, infectious beat. Already a #1 hit in iTunes, "4 Minutes" is the first single from Madonna's forthcoming album "Hard Candy" scheduled for global release on April 28th and in the US on April 29th, 2008.

Madonna - "'4 Minute Fever" Spreads Across the World
"Victims can't stop dancing" is the word from Madonna's website. April 3rd, 2008 the video makes its exclusive world premiere on iTunes and it is a catchy tune that is poised to be a summer dance hit as well. Madonna's "4 Minutes" will be featured in the upcoming summer movie "Get Smart" staring Steve Carrell which will hit theaters on June 20th. Check out this clip from Ellen Degeneres grooving out to "4 Minutes" from Madonna on Ellen's signature show opening dance segment. When asked about the "4 Minute Fever Phenomenon," Madonna commented, "Goody goody gum drops."

Billboard Reviews "4 Minutes" by Madonna
On March 21, 2008 on Madonna's website, madonna.com she posted a review by Billboard:

It doesn't take anywhere close to '4 Minutes' to realize that Madonna is poised to score her first top 10 hit since 2005's 'Hung Up.' The launch single from upcoming 'Hard Candy'-her 11th and final studio album for Warner Bros.-co-stars Justin Timberlake, with production props from Timbaland. There's an awful lot going on in the busy dance track: sing-song verses, insistent foghorns, cowbells, chants of "tick-tock" and "Madonna, Madonna," and a rap from Timbaland-but the trade-off chorus between Madge and Justin of "We've only got four minutes to save the world" is hooky enough unto itself to sell the song. "4" qualifies as an event record between superpowers who not only share equal billing, but sound gangbusters together. Expect instantaneous penetration for this spring break '08 anthem.
