People magazine got an advance listen to Britney Spears‘ new album and they conspicuously failed to mention in their review if the songs were great, bad or mediocre.
They say:
Like many of today’s young dance-pop starlets, Britney sounds like she’s looking back to the ’80s as she moves forward toward the release of her fifth studio album (and first since 2003’s In the Zone), due out Nov. 13.
In addition to the pulsating first single, “Gimme More,” other tracks we heard at an exclusive preview have a synth-heavy sound that nods to new wave. The defiant “Piece of Me” the likely second single and possible album title, features Spears’s heavily processed voice issuing the challenge: “You want a piece of me?” to her foes. The track was produced by Bloodshy & Avant, the Swedish producing team behind her hit “Toxic.”
“Break the Ice,” another uptempo number featuring Spears’s trademark breathy vocals, was produced by Timbaland proteg├â┬⌐e Nate “Danjahandz” Hills.
The Rihanna-esque “Radar” (also produced by Bloodshy & Avant), sets Spears’s chirpy delivery to a bouncy beat, while the driving “Heaven on Earth,” an early fave, is a throbbing throwback to “I Feel Love”-era Donna Summer.
That makes us highly suspicious!
We probably have a stinker on our hands!!!
