An honest review about the leaked Britney Spears CD
For the last two years, Britney Spears has been recording her comeback CD. In that time she has gotten divorced, become a media train wreck and embarrassed herself with a horrific performance at MTV’s Video Music Awards. But her latest CD, Blackout, which is scheduled for release on Oct. 30 (early because several songs were leaked on the Web), should help out the pop singer’s profile a little.
Yes, I know that Britney isn’t doing so well, and the standard plan of action would be to kick her while she’s down, but to be honest her latest attempt at music isn’t horrible. At this time, all of Britney’s tracks have been leaked onto the net (including all of the CD’s 12 and more than a dozen songs that haven’t made it on the new CD).
This version of the disc, which I found on babble.com, has Brit’s disc kicking off with the upbeat “Break the Ice,” listed as “It’s been a while.” Nothing groundbreaking, but Spears delivers some interesting pop rhythms and reminds listeners of some of her better work before she was “In The Zone.”
“You Got Me High,” (which is probably called something else on the official release) is at least as good as anything Kylie Minogue has put out in the last couple of years and “Gimme More” the disc’s first single is, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, fairly infectious. Some blogs have reported that several songs are laced with profanity, I have found one (“Stupid Things”) but I have no idea if it will be on the finished disc.
The rest of the tracks are pretty much the same: Generic pop with sexual undertones and a danceable beat. But what else would anyone expect? This is Britney Spears, not Diana Krall.
But, if the leaked tracks are any indication of what Spears has in store for listeners, it may shine a better light on the pop princess. It won’t take all of the negative away, but it will make things slightly better.
