Madonna's new album will be called 'Hard Candy'.

The 49-year-old superstar's new LP - her final one with her long-term record label Warner Bros. - will be released on April 29.

The first single from it, 'Four Minutes', featuring Justin Timberlake, will hit the shelves at the end of March.

Speaking about the album - which includes the Pharrell Williams produced track 'Candy Store' - Madonna's representative Liz Rosenberg said: "Madonna loves candy. The name of the album is about the juxtaposition of tough and sweetness, or as Madonna so eloquently expresses it, 'I'm going to kick you're a**, but it's going to make you feel good.' "

The new record will also feature tracks produced by 'Apologize' star Timbaland, who recently admitted he was "still in shock" at getting the chance to work with Madonna.

Madonna recently signed a huge 10-year recording, touring and merchandising deal with Artist Nation, part of concert promoter Live Nation.

Meanwhile, it has been announced Timberlake will induct Madonna into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a ceremony at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on March 10.
