DignifiedLove Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 A ******* UNDERRATED MASTERPIECE. Her vocals in the second verse and the FLAWLESS Darchild-esque bridge. I'm literally having early 2000's / Jimmy Neutron flashbacks and I just want to go back in time to my childhood. Ugh, I wish Britney worked with Darkchild more on her third album. His work is so amazing and he's always been my favorite producer. Link to comment

If she wanted to go down that Darkchild route, It would have been a FAR better single choice than ILRNR. Her vocals in the second verse alone > Link to comment

The Britney-era singles were so terribly chosen! But yeah this could have been more interesting than ILRNR on the track list. Link to comment

Agreed Mid-late 2001 and post-9/11 was just a very messy and transitional time in the music industry in general. I said something like this in another thread but after the teen pop craze, you had more of these branded artists crossing over to a more urban audience with hip-hop influences. Problem with Britney's third album was that she recorded a majority of it during early-mid 2001 while tailoring it to "Crossroads" and by the time she was ready to release the album, a majority of the work didn't sound as fresh and up-to-date with what was popular on radio at that moment hence why they practically remixed all the singles and chose the urban-influenced tracks to be released over the Max Martin signature pop sound. It's a shame because a lot of the material Britney recorded during 2001 and 2002 was left unreleased because her team probably saw a potential to release them at a later time post-Crossroads, but by the time her 4th album came along, that sound had also weared off.

Also why she recorded Outrageous and Boom Boom -- thank God she fought for her own vision for the album and era. Man, I was so bummed when Boys was chosen as the fourth single when I was 12 LOL Link to comment
One Of a Kind Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 YES! This song is so good, I still play it constantly. I've always said I wished it was included on the Britney album and released as the last single. Such an underrated gem. Link to comment

Cinderella was one of my favorites too. Link to comment
RaDaRaVeNgEr Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 This could've had a spot in the 'Britney' album had they not scrapped the 'Crossroads' soundtrack and threw all those songs in the mix. I love the "show me...I must confess" and "B-R-I-T-N-E-Y" bits, Great song, made no sense in the Jimmy Neutron movie/soundtrack though, weird placement. lol Link to comment
BraveGraphics Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 This is an underrated jam right here Link to comment
Britneybbhmm Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 So baby take a chance, and show your confidence tbh. Link to comment

Why am I just finding out that Darkchild produced "Lonely"? I've been a HUGEEEE "Lonely" stan for years and I'm now just finding out. OMG. And yes that's true. It's truly the hit that got away. OMG AND HE PRODUCED LET ME BE. No wonder why those two are my favorite tracks on the album other than I Run Away. Link to comment
