Oops! Britney has done it again.
The pop-sensation unveiled her seventh studio album, Femme Fatale, on March 29, and has returned, once again, back on the pop culture scene.
Three years since the superstar released Circus, which introduced the world to hits “Womanizer” and “Radar”, the brand of Britney has expanded yet again, despite her well-documented breakdown four years ago. The artist is better than ever, experimenting with techno beats and a Eurodisco sound.
The Louisiana native revolutionized the world of pop at 16 years old with her 1999 debut album …Baby, One More Time. Spears has been topping the charts for more than a decade, and her latest album is no exception.
The artist chose to release the dubstep-laden single “Hold It against Me” early on January 11, which has already reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Till the World Ends” dropped on March 4 and is equally entertaining as one of the hottest dance tracks of the year.
Those who crave her bubblegum lyrics and dance-infused tunes will get everything they expect on Femme Fatale, yet one can’t help but notice most of the songs sound alike.
It seems as though the artist, who had no part in writing the songs, sent her material through a conveyor belt of techno dance perfection.
Although the pop princess is no Adele, she is still the queen of delivering the party hits we all hunger for.
The 29-year-old has been out of the spotlight since shaving her head in 2007, yet she has begun to appear more in the public promoting Femme Fatale.
Will.i.am offers his bit fat vocals on “Big Fat Bass”, a track that is sure to be bumping from car stereos. Two noteworthy tracks on the album are “Seal it with a Kiss”, a fun and flirty track filled with Spears’ baby-doll falsetto, as well as the upbeat “I Wanna Go.”
“How I Roll” is by far the weirdest song on the album, with auto-tuned vocals and videogame-like sounds, yet it isn’t terrible. Tracks “Gasoline” and “Criminal” have no real spark, yet the 12-track album as a whole is worth listening to.
Is Britney back? It seems so, and she is here to stay.
