Madonna is looking for those who want to collaborate with her

Madonna revealed plans to start the work on the new studio effort as soon as possible. She made this announcement through her Facebook account, adding that she was looking for "maddest, sickest" persons to collaborate with them on the record.

"It's official! I need to move. I need to sweat. I need to make new music! Music I can dance to. I'm on the look out for the maddest, sickest, most badass people to collaborate with", she wrote on her account.

Earlier Madonna claimed that her new album would be "halfway between rap and electronic and whatever else I listen to".

Singer's previous record Hard Candy hit the stores in April 2008 and was produced by Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Pharrell Williams and Kanye West.
