Madonna : Hard Candy
Albums of the 11th Madonna released, could be described as an ambitious project from Madonna. 12 songs with up-beat tempo, many include elements of hip-hop, although still strong in the style of Madonna.

Collapse Into Now, 2011 Album by REM

Mule Variations (Tom Waits Album)
“Mule Variations,” though maybe not his most appreciated album, is probably in my top five by Tom Waits. It’s gritty, folk-based, but not really limited to genre. While not every track did it for me, the ones that did nailed it. And of course, with any album by Waits, …
