Britney Spears + Danja (EP)

[Joman82]

Series 3: Analyzing Britney's iconic producers (Danja).

Danja is an American record producer and songwriter from Virginia Beach, Virginia. Starting off as a co-producer for Timbaland, he has since then created an extensive catalog of solo-produced singles. He has produced songs for artists such as Britney Spears, Usher, Keri Hilson, T.I., Nelly Furtado, Ciara, Mariah Carey, Timbaland, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Missy Elliott, M.I.A., Justin Timberlake, JoJo, Joe Jonas, Pink, Björk and Duran Duran.

In 2007, Danja produced “Gimme More” for Britney Spears, as well as “Break The Ice” and five other tracks for her ‘Blackout’ album. The following year, he produced “Kill the Lights” and five other songs for Britney Spears' album ‘Circus’, but only three songs appeared on the album.

He is still considered one of the best producers she has collaborated with... 

Songs:

1) “Gimme More” (2007)

2) “Break The Ice” (2007)

3) “Get Naked (I Got a Plan)” (2007)

4) “Hot as Ice” (2007)

5) “Perfect Lover” (2007)

6) “Get Back” (2007)

7) “Outta This World” (2007) – Bonus track

8) “Kill The Lights” (2008)

9) “Blur” (2008)

10) “Rock Boy” (2008) – Bonus track

 

 

Should Britney go back to the studio with Danja for B10?!?

[Lil-Jay]

Wait, I thought he produced the whole Blackout 

 

So you want to tell me that he didn't produce Freakshow, Toy Soldier, Piece Of Me and Heaven On Earth?!

 

My life is a lie

Yep... the first 3 that you mention where produced by Bloodshy & Avant and the other one by Kara DioGuardi. But, yes, Danja produced 7 songs on "Blackout".

I love their work together!! It’s a shame they haven’t released anything since Circus. I hope their unreleased stuff leaks, I still want to hear Take the Bait.

I’d love to hear her version of take the bait too with Danja vocal, hopefully some day the demo is so cute with Candice 

[jordeezy river red]

Flawless EP. I remember when the blogs were stanning Katherine McPhees album because Dania produced for her too and ppl said they were Britney rejects

[Lou]

He is not good now. Britney made her good

His beats are just noise nowadays 

 

BRING TIMBALAND

[JMcCoy27]

Honestly, I still listen to the ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ demo. Not only does it slap, but I feel like it would be such a great Britney bop!

[MeAgainstTheMusic_]

Honestly - no.

He and Britney made a masterpiece with Blackout and they pioneered music for that time but if they were to do it today would they have the same power? Probably not.

It’s like Madonna with William Orbit. Ray Of Light was also a masterpiece and iconic for its time. I still listen to the album all the time now. But Madonna has worked with him since and she hasn’t had the same magic as she did with ROL. 

I believe she should leave it where she did with Danja and start working with new producers. I like when she works with unknown producers like she did with Womanizer and Touch of My Hand. The one person I’d like to see her go back to would be Max Martin. They make magic and he is still mega current right now. I hate when people say he’s generic now - I think with Britney they could come up with something special if she was heavily involved.

Danja bring it back! 

Iconic producer, will always be welcome

4-track Danja EP let's GOOOO

[ExXL]

I need Britney and Danja to create a Halloween themed song , similar to 'bury a friend' or 'get naked' I absolutely love his style 

[IndieBritFan]

[Yasux34]

Kill The Lights is my absolute favorite he has done. Love all his work though . 

[Britney'sBish]

I don't want ANY single producer for a full album, I'd like her to work with a few.

That said Danja is responsible for my favorite Britney song, Gimme More, so he should get four tracks or so.

No. Timbaland has thrown shade at B several times, as recently as last year with her instagram posts.  He needs to stay far away.  B doesn't need him.  Also, his music sucks now.
