UPDATE:
Thoughts:
- Oh, okay, this is, like, really catchy.
- We have to give Britney (or her team, or her people, or whatever) props for crafting (or sourcing) yet another song that isn't over-gimmicky or obvious in its hookiness, but nevertheless CATCHY AS AN STD.
- Having said that, the dubstep thing feels a bit unnecessary.
- Britney has always transcended fads and trends. She was part of bubblegum pop but after that her songs have been so great just doesn't seem t0 have needed to fluctuate with fickle fashions.
- This, however, feels a tad late and pointless. Britney and dubstep aren't an obvious mix, and the strange juxtaposition isn't as sparky or as 'so-crazy-it-works' as you might think. This song may date horribly, and dubstep seems to be better suited to the dark, soaring stuff on Rihanna's Rated R album than Britney's uptempo 'club' 'bangers'.
- We also don't understand how this fits in with her supposed Ray of Light ambitions, but whatever. We'll wait for the full album to make a... er... full judgement!

Just stumbled upon your blog and found that you write about Britney, Minaj and Gilmore Girls, perfection!
ReplyDeleteI love the new Brit track and although the dub step bit is a tad unnecessary I think it will mean that the track will get a few more plays in clubs.
