Danja says 'Blackout' was 20 years ahead of its time: Britney "already set the bar that people are still struggling to meet it."

Yeah definitely. Going further back we also had FutureS£x/LoveSounds from 2006.

Future***/LoveSounds is modern RnB, but Blackout has this darker EDM vibe and european dance-pop sound that really sounded very fresh and unique when it debuted. JT only wishes

I haven't heard the whole of FutureS£x/LoveSounds but the singles from that album always gave me futuristic vibes. Even Wikipedia says the album had electro influences. But who knows

Blackout was indeed a trendsetter but what I never understood is that Britney always lets go of her ballads I just never understood why, blackout stems were clearly hinting at her R and B touch but they never made it to the album. 

In the podcast, the producers and writers said either Britney’s team or the label said not to “touch” on her personal life in the music creation process. The producers/writers said **** that and did it anyways. Supposedly they gave her a ballad called “See My Side” that Britney started recording byt was later released by Jordin Sparks instead because it made Britney so emotional that she couldn’t finish the song. 

Danja also said that he could tell if Britney liked stuff just by her body language alone, and she’d be dancing in the studio to the stuff she liked. So it sounds like it was a combination of the label or Britney’s team and Britney herself enjoying the dance songs more.

Well I checked and according to Wikipedia FS/LS is electro-RnB, while Blackout has only two electro-RnB tracks: Break the Ice and Outta This World.

He made several points, but I'll never forgive him for his eerie shouting on Get Naked.

He’s right

***ing in the attic
When you felt so automatic
Felt explosive when you had it
When you come all over me
Boy I made it rain
Just when I squeezed and made it tight
Just so relaxed, so don't you fight it
Just calm down, feel the freak in me

ha ha ha hh  

 

Yeahhh I never knew how much I needed to respect this. When any passerby listens of course it sounds a little raw on the surface but 1) it’s probably incomplete and 2) it’s not supposed to be a perfectized pop smash hit radio hit. Its grimy and experimental and just great. I think many people trying to be objective would agree britney could use some professional training on controlling her voice a bit but she is something special in the studio.  She has her own swag when she’s in control doing what she wants. It’s rare. Anyone open minded and exposed to her deep cuts, demos, and b-sides would agree. She’s authentic. So it’s a shame I’ve heard people call her “manufactured”. Not when she’s in control fools lol.

I agree I heard the podcast but I always wondered on how from In the zone onwards she was going towards R and B and let's not forget Mariah was one of her biggest inspirations too even Britney album has some touches of R and B but yes Blackout was indeed a time where maybe Britney didn't wanted ballads on the album and then Conservatorship happened so we never came to see her other side. 

Britney has done a lot of club bangers already and I've always felt that she wanted to touch R and B.

I get that, but even if Britney felt this way it wasn’t her job to submit them. It was her label & team job to get it submitted. I know her team was practically nobody, but she still was on a major label. I think somebody drop the ball on this album. I think she definitely would have pick up an award for it, in some capacity 

Jive didn't even fund blackout nor gave budget for the videos not shocked for not even submitting it tbh, plus it's good it wasn't it wouldn't have won anything anyway.

Facts. Blackout is a masterpiece of an album that can be appreciated by all types of music lovers. One for the books and history.

[Dreamer26]

I hope they will give full creativity freedom to Brit for next album. I really wanna hear sassy hood Britney again. Blackout is her best album. But I don't want them to repeat same thing they should try new experimental sounds. She reached that level of status.  She should be the one who making new trends not the one who follow existing ones.

[Lemon]

I think people get too caught up in the "it was ahead of its time" thing. I think it was, but what's important about this album is that it was innovative in a way that can't really be repeated again. Musically it just goes in the craziest, most left-field directions imaginable. Like what the hell is that Piece of Me production? The album is just bonkers from beginning to end, it makes me feel like I'm having a ***ual **** trip at a club and is packed with tunes that feel so fully-realized within their own musical worlds. I'm happy it's getting the recognition it so rightfully deserves.

Future***/LoveSounds might sound futuristic, but in a different way. It's less electronic and to me it sounds very monotone in comparison to Blackout which feels more exuberant and vibrant. I think the covers of both albums represent them well. Justin might be smashing a disco ball but he still has his suit and tie on - he's still keeping manners. He's pushing things forward, but he's still being elegant. Britney just goes ******* nuts with it -she's spiraling out of control, she's drinking, snorting, having and **** and she's sweating her *** of dancing through the night. And I ******* love it!

Danja gushing:

 

[ObsessedBritFan1]

Femme Fatale? Glory?

[Britneylandia]

Yes.

[YeezusChrist]

Honestly ITZ too. I can listen to a random song from it and it still sounds fresh and new.

[joe sp]

Yes daddy!

Godout remains a bible 

[glitterfalls]

Not gonna talk future comebacks because Britney hasn't said what she wants to do in regards to that. I will say Blackout is absolutely iconic. You get used to albums that have so many fillers and there's only one song I skip on Blackout. Heaven on Earth is ehish for me. Rest of the album is absolutely classic and it's a masterpiece.

[electricopop]

I  really hope one day Blackout 2.0 will happen someday...
