Should Britney go back to the studio with Bloodshy (at least) for B10?!?

[SonOfSun]

I love them ! And their band Miike Snow has great music

People focus maybe too much on Danja and Max Martin, but to me BLOODSHY & AVANT are the most important producers in her carreer and in her sound evolution. She was the most creative, and probably the most comfortable with them. And their collaboration was clearly working well since they were present on 4 albums (ITZ, Blackout, Circus, FF). They litterally created the "Britney Spears sound "of the 00's : electronic, dance, pop with groundbreaking productions.

Where is 'Trouble' 

[Stefani]

More like Godshy & Slayant. 

[Matou]

All these songs are flawless

TRUTH. 

[Kletus]

And to think she didn't work with them on Myah Jean that's probably what the problem was

[bitbitboi]

Her best producers after Max Martin.

[jordeezy river red]

Def my fave Britney producers. I LOVE all of their work (besides Radar....I hate the vocal production). IMO Radar is messy.

According to Bloodshy himself the last time they worked together was for Britney Jean

Also back when The New Yorker's piece about the conservatorship first came out most people assumed that the producer that they talked to was him which would explain everything (They started working together when she was 21 years old)

Quote

People in Spears’s orbit also noticed changes. A producer who’d worked with her since she was in her early twenties said that she was “more distant, less present—there were no more jokes, no laughter. By the end, she was just led into the vocal booth. She never came into the room where we were.” Recording with Spears had once been effortless, he said, and now it was “really hard, nearly impossible,” to elicit her spark in the booth.

Yep, they also produced this track, "Trouble (2008)" from the 'Circus' album, but was only released in the French Amazon Music deluxe edition (as a bonus track).

The song is not released in the U.S. and it's not available in Britney's YouTube account/VEVO or in Spotify. 

[Moscow]

We need this duo back if Britney decides to make music, they were a flawless team together along with Rumi!

I wonder why most fans ignore her collaborations with Guy Sigsworth.  He worked with her on two studio albums, produced her greatest ballad (which she composed) and produced some of her best material that probably should have been on her studio albums...

And although they didn't necessarily work together, Justice did remix her song "Me Against the Music" and later sampled that same song in their most enduring hit "D.A.N.C.E. from their album Cross.

Didn’t Sean Garrett produce Toy Soldier?

MY GOD, HOW FLAWLESS & ICONIC! I had forgotten how that duo was behind some of the best songs...love your post. They have literally never disappointed me (except Trip To Your Heart)

Pretty sure he only wrote the song, while Bloodshy & Avant produced it.

[Isla]

I still think they are my favourite producers Britney has ever worked with.

"ignore" 

She worked with a bazillion people, and everything she touches turns into gold. I just mentioned what I think are the two best producers she worked with.

They co-produced it with him, I just checked just like they co-produced Trouble with The Clutch
