HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Madonna is singing the praises of Justin Timberlake after working with the "SexyBack" singer on her upcoming new album "Hard Candy."
"I really enjoy writing with Justin," the 49-year-old pop star says in the latest issue of Interview magazine. "We kind of had psychoanalytic sessions whenever we wrote songs.
"We'd sit down and start talking about situations. And then we'd start talking about issues or problems or relationships with people. That was the only way, because you know, writing together with somebody is very intimate."
The "Material Girl" says she clicked right away with the 27-year-old star, who pitched in his talents on her new single, "4 Minutes to Save the World."
"He's open and he's got talent," Madonna says of Timberlake, who will induct her into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later this month. "He's a songwriter. I haven't worked with a lot of songwriters where I'm instantly connected and start riffing and playing with the rhythm of the words."
"He's as interested in rhythm of words as the meaning of words," she adds. "I enjoyed that process with him."
