This
is the eighth studio album by Britney Spears and I really feel like we’ve been
through a lot of her life with her.
From the young, innocent years to the older, crazier years. And even though I may not have liked Britney
for the music at first, I did start really liking her music with the song “Toxic”. (Plus, anyone who can get Nicki Minaj and
Ke$ha on a song with them is tops in my book)
In
what will certainly go down in history as The Year of Music, Britney pulls out
the last minute album of the year candidate for many, as she stands alongside
contemporaries Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and pretty much everyone else except Ke$ha
to release a new album this year.
I
considered writing a review for each of these songs (and I could), but then I
ultimately decided it’d be best for you, my dear readers, to experience a lot
of these songs for yourself.
The
opening track alone, “Alien”, makes the album worth a listen even for those who
are not fans. She sings about lights in
the sky and repeats how she is “not alone”, suggesting perhaps a recent trip to
Area 51.
A
song like “Work Work” has a nice dance beat, but she certainly also channels
the Lady Gaga/Madonna vibe, which is interesting since at one point in time it
felt as if Britney herself was setting the pace for the music.
The
song “Perfume” (and this will be my last individual song note) has a paranoid
vibe to it, in which Britney sings “I hope she smells my perfume”. At first I kind of thought this song was
about Britney being the mistress, but after listening to it a few times over
you get more of the vibe about her just sensing that she’s the one being
cheated on.
Side
Note: Britney Spears does have her own
perfume available for sale, so I also find that to be kind of funny, like maybe
the whole song is just a commercial for her fragrance. (Happy coincidence?)
I’m
not going to complain about music that Britney Spears puts out because I’m
always to like her music on some level, but that also doesn’t mean I’m going to
put down the money to actually buy this album either. I’ll just continue to listen to it on Spotify
and then ultimately buy it one day potentially from Savers for $2 or less.
