music Hear me out: Exaholic was flawed but had serious potential

[LickedABattery]

- Intro is stellar. Best part imo, funky hypnotic sound. 

- Pre-Chorus also slaps.

- Chorus is tragic. 

- Bridge brings back the 🔥 until "oh no here I go" commences.

Basically, if we change the song title, chorus & remove all traces of the "oh no" tomfoolery....it has the ingredients of a hit. Please go easy on me in the comments. Also hi from Brazil.

Oi do Brasil aqui tbm! 

Exaholic is my jam and is the sole thing I've been listening to for the past week since I discovered it (I never really kept up with her unreleased tracks until now). It is the light of my life and the blood in my veins. I showed it to all my friends because I just think it's a fantastic song overall and one of my all time favorite Britney tracks. Just an all out bomb song that has me seeing Jesus from beginning to end

I love that song and I think her vocals are soooo beautiful and really cool in some parts. Like the Britney vocals I love

[JessicaS89]

In my opinion, it was the kind of track that would have benefited from a guest rapper. 

[Million Billion]

It's a good demo which could have been a great track with the right production. To me, it sounded more like a Femme Fatale demo than a Glory demo. It gives me Up n Down vibes. But anyways, it's just an unfinished demo. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*still better than some Glory official tracks

It’s one of her best songs - love her vocals, ad-libs and the instrumental. 

Should have been on glory - there’s a handful of tracks it could have easily replaced

It sort of did and I believe had it been finalised would have

I honestly listen to it more than I do Matches lol! I think with better production it could’ve been a great track, it’s catchy! The only problem is the subject matter since it relates her ex to substance abuse which she possibly had a problem with since she mentioned  AA. 

[Nightmare3p]

I love this track. It reminds me of Girls & Boys/Over To You Now/ATWK. I’d love an album with a vibe like this her vox are perfect for it

Love this remix:

And this fan made CD:

@Jordan Miller not you promoting Exaholic with another account

Obviously we only heard the demo, and it sounds like we're hearing a mix made stems that doesn't feature any percussion.

 

It's biggest flaw is the lyrics, which are kinda lacking, but melodically, it has a classic Britney feel, and vocally she sounds fabulous, a really strong balance of her registers, treated in the correct way, and not suffocated in backing vocals like Femme Fatale tracks.

The ending is incredibly interesting too.

Thought you were talking about “exhale”

[hot mess]

One of my favorite demos. I personally like the chorus and I think a finished, more polished version would have been a great album track and better than some of the songs that made the cut.

I also really like the name. It would be a good name for a single. 

[princessmimi]

What are u talking about?
ITS AWESOME!
 

I do get that it probably needs to be more polishing but its a great demo.

Better than some songs from Glory

Since we're not together, my life is black and white 

I'd pay any price for just one night together

So I can mainline, free base, shoot up your love

I’m basically into every version that adds a beat. It’s so catchy. 
The lyrics are cringe but I stopped caring preeeeetty quickly and now just bop to it the same as the classics. Her vocals are great on it.
