A few days to go and one of the most awaited albums this year is about to come out. Surely, Britney Spears knows how to hang the meat above the pen as she leaked snippets of her news songs, photos from her new videos, and an announcement about a concert on the opening day. Fans have waited for Femme Fatale for almost two years and now that we are counting days, their excitement just keeps rising. Before you grab your own copy, let me give a quick review of the album.
Fans are enthralled by the majestic release of the song "Hold It Against Me" and it is surely one of the best tracks (if not, the best) in Femme Fatale. No wonder this hard-thumping rave-cum-grime upbeat made its way to the top of many charts. Being deemed to follow HIAM's success, "Til The World Ends," written by pop-star Ke$ha, promises a new sound for Britney as it goes not too wordy and gives us a feel-good club vibe.I would not even also wonder that "I wanna Go" will follow the two tracks soon, with this track being currently the favorite of most fans for its sexy melody and catchy tunes.
"How I Roll" brings a different feel as it blends relaxing piano with upbeat percussions and momentary synths. The same feel is brought by "Trip To Your Heart" but this music has more clubbish music. "Criminal," one of my favorites, stands out with its lyrics and slower tempo while "Gasoline" brings back the old Britney-pop genre combining fierce and sexy as how "Toxic" happened. Darkchild made well music using "He About to Lose Me" and the only rock song "Don't Keep Me Waiting." "Inside Out" tells about "break-up sex" and takes listeners to a grimy sexy sound. "Drop Dead Beautiful" and "Trouble For Me" can aslo be counted as a favorite club hit.
Some of the so-so songs are "Seal It With A Kiss," "Selfish" (where Britney is overly autotuned), "Up N Down." "Big Fat Bass" is a little disappointing knowing that it's produced by Will.I.Am.There's a lack of creativity in the lyrics, some of them are just catchy.
Most of the tracks have obviously got Britney's voice autotuned though I don't find it necessary knowing she had good voice before. But overall, the album is a sure smash hit--for a pop album that is. Femme Fatale emerges as a huge party album and a great showcase of how music can bring Brit's career back on the top. The only problem is, in the whole music production, her participation is totally drowned by the people who worked around her due to heavy use of autotune, greater showcase of the music rather than her ability as a singer, and even the absence of her songwriting ability.
Then again, it's what Britney's all about, right? She shined with the help of a lot of people that I even imagine that she's like a doll designed in many parts by many people to function in entertainment. But she sure does sell! Can't wait for the 29th. :)
