3isacharm Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 more like Britney's greatest album but this post slays Radar needed to happen as a single for this album though. I wish they hadn't canned it and push it onto Circus Get Naked, Toy Soldier, HAI could have been a single too Link to comment
BrittonJeanSpears Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 It may be one of my least favorite albums, but it still has a bunch of bops. Happy birthday, Blackout. You are truly the ideal Halloween album. Break The Ice, Gimme More, Piece of Me, Radar, Everybody, Get Back, Perfect Lover, Ooh Ooh Baby, Freakshow, Hot As Ice, Heaven On Earth, Why Should I Be Sad, Outta This World and Toy Soldier are all ******* bops! And yes, I hate Get Naked so much that despite me loving the rest of the album, it ruins the album for me. Deal with it. Link to comment

Super Mods SlayOut Posted October 25, 2017 Super Mods Share Posted October 25, 2017 Blackout was the first album I ever purchased, and the first Britney music I was introduced to. I honestly love every track on the album (each track fits the album perfectly), but Gimme More, Piece of Me, Heaven on Earth, Freakshow, and Hot as Ice define the album for me. I wish Heaven on Earth was a single, because it’s a beautiful song and kinda different from other tracks Britney has done (again, in my opinion). A part of me also wishes Sugarfall was on the album (after WSIBS), but I’ve survived without it for 10 years so idk if it’s that vital for me lol... The album will always have a special place in my heart, and I will always keep on rockin’ to it! Happy Birthday, Blackout. May you slay for eternity! Link to comment

Do you think a HOE video would have been light or dark (like the rest of the videos this era)? Link to comment

I feel like it would be kind of ethereal, maybe starting off as dark and then moving toward a more hopeful/yearning ending? The synth that runs throughout the verses give me a dark vibe, but then the chorus is really light and floaty (if that makes sense lmao ) A video of contradictions and juxtapositions galore tbh It would’ve slayed in my opinion! If it came after Break the Ice, maybe it’d be cartoon/anime inspired too? ALSO do we know who the song is about, if anyone? Link to comment
Guest Diamond Horse Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Maria Minerva is Estonian So am I slay! BTW I know I shouldn't ask it here, but is she really respected in some circles or smth? anyway, she deserves respect Link to comment

Nicole Morier wrote the song about a very dependent and toxic / addictive relationship she had with an ex boyfriend. Britney loved the song and chose to record it and she was having a hard time doing so because it was during the point where she recently broke it off with Kevin and she was crying between takes.

She’s an indie darling, her music has received acclaim from a lot of big western publications like Pitchfork, The Fader and The Guardian. Link to comment

Honestly the outro of the song with the whispering and instrumentation gives me chills sometimes because it seems really depressive/dooming. Link to comment

It’s called “Grow” and it was produced by Steve Anderson during the same sessions as “State Of Grace”. He described it as an electro ballad. Link to comment

EDIT: she has a couple of songs on Estonian too Link to comment
