Madonna has dismissed reports her final Warner Bros studio album will be called “Licorice.” The pop superstar's broadcaster friend Larry Lick played two new tracks, "Candy Shop" and "The Beat Goes On," from her upcoming disc on his Sirius Satellite Radio show OutQ on Thursday.

Lick then went on to claim the new disc is called Licorice and will be released in spring 2008.

But in an email to Reuters, Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg writes: "Sirius does not know what they are talking about. Wrong title. Release date wrong etc."

Madonna will part company with Warner Bros once the album is released and embark on a new initiative with concert promoter Live Nation. The 10-year deal encompasses all of Madonna's future music and music-related businesses.
