Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 No, it won't be called that. Madonna's publicist, Liz Rosenberg confirmed that's not the title of the album. http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/arts/entert...amp;oref=slogin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted December 12, 2007 Members Share Posted December 12, 2007 I LOVE MAdonna, I paid way too much to see her in San Fran 2 years back, have basically a shelf with every Madonna albuma nd single, etc etc but... I dunno How is candy theme a "new thing" lol. It seems tired and lacking to me--this is judging on these rumours and the leaked demo of Candy Shop only mind you. I'm also disappoitned to see her following all these trends... But I'll of course give it a chance. Sylph said: " What a travesty... First she calls it Licorice, then she renames it... Farce." Nah to be fair the Licorice was picked up from a fan cover some deluded fan made when they heard the leaked demo of Candy Shop--and decided Licorice would be the name. Some news site (me thinks The Sun--they're known for such false info) ran with it LOL. Madonna never actually named it Licorice and I hoep the candy theme are rumour too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
