i'm not talking about critically-acclaimed.

blackout created new Britney fans and people started to see her as a true artist. 

Blackout may have expanded her fanbase to more LGBTQ folks but it wasn't significant to create a wave or hypermania of fans like during her early days (1999-2004). Also, each era of hers gained her new fans. I know people here who became fans during all eras; BOMT, Oops, Britney, ITZ, Blackout, Circus, FF, and Glory. It wasn't just exclusive to Blackout. For example, Slave expanded her fanbase to a mature audience. Toxic as well. And last, people never "started to see her as a true artist" considering that Blackout received mixed reviews from "people"/critics. In fact, her personal life had overshadowed her professional life which steered people away from taking her serious in 2007. If anything, ITZ and songs like Toxic or Everytime were moments that showcased Britney's artistic measure and vulnerability. Ultimately, Toxic was the song that helped her gain longevity beyond the explosive teen pop wave of 1999-2002.

Doing research is very important because I've often times seen fans rewrite Britney's music history through a lot of revisionism.

I actually think this such a fun song ! Some very iconic lines and I can totally see her performing the **** out of this .. hold me closer was great but in my opinion I’ve been waiting for a banger from her .. they delivered it for sure !!

It’s giving me Britney Jean PTSD. Personally, I don’t know why they would release a song from an album that her fans universally hate, but If she likes it , hey good for her. I’m happy she’s making her own career choices.

I haven't heard it yet besides the videos Will posted (I'm avoiding them, that first listen after a Britney song is released is just a magical feeling) but this should be interesting especially with the reviews. 

[Revenge.]

I can’t believe this is real, will.I.am woofing…

If will genuinely thought this would be a breakthrough song…

It is catchy though after a few listens, it’s just not something I can take seriously though.

Mind your B is stuck in my head.

People are saying this doesn’t sound like Britney? It clear as day is?  Anyway, it’s very fun and a grower for sure. She’s way more prominent on this track than HMC (and I LOVE HMC). Thanks for the bop Queen

what if Britney Jean actually IS her most personal album in the way that she chose all those songs 

and now this is the type of music she wants to make? 

btw I love the song

[loagun]

I am hoping that whatever I just heard over on YouTube (that sadly matches the lyrics somebody posted here in the forum under another thread).... I'm hoping its some fan made hoax and a real song will come out tomorrow. 

Or Britney AI will completely reconfigure the entire song with new lyrics and musical score between now and tomorrow.

I doubt she got much input into that song.

[Tetris]

It’s a thing that exists, and accurate to what one should expect based on who’s involved.

Harmless, lowest common denominator fun.

Literally, fast-food music; “Baby Shark” for adults; glorified advertisement/commercial jingle.

It’s catchy in the same way that “1-800 Kars for Kids” or the Liberty Mutual Insurance songs get stuck in one’s head. 

I kind of like Britney’s verse, especially the “I am the economy” part. But I always find any lyric that earnestly mentions the “paparazzi” as inherently tacky. The “manjobi” part is fine. I really don’t like any of the “washidoo” stuff, will’s verses, or Britney second verse about the dogs.

Ultimately, this is pure junk. But perfect for, like, drinking at pool parties. 

My hype level is 0%

Well the song is actually a bop. It does sound like something that could have been released 10 years ago but I will vibe to it. I’m not sure if it actually is a Britney Jean reject repurposed for 2023 but who knows. 

It’s nothing groundbreaking but clearly a fun song for the clubs. Yeah some of the lyrics are questionable but I’ve heard worse.

The text used on the artwork is basic af though.

 

[Jup1ter]

It kinda reminds me of this 80s song
