Britney Spears - Britney Jean - new era (Work b*tch, Perfume, Passenger)

[turnaround]

Doesn't sound too promising Jules and J_A24. Will give it a shot but I doubt I will like what I hear.

After a few listening the album is not so bad...

I wasn't aware that Dr Luke is involved in the album:

Big fail. Britney is supposed to be a trendsetter, not whatever the heck it sounded in this album.

Pop music in general is in a very awkward period. Everyone is looking at eachother wondering what's next and there's only a few guys keeping things interesting.

We should open a thread about future trends.
In alternative music you can find some really interesting stuff.

"Now That I Found You" is quite poppy. And with more listens it gets very catchy. Needless to say I would have prefered Luke over will.i.am as a executive producers.

Katy Perry's "Passenger" could grow with more listens. Not that fond yet.

I'm not even going to buy this album, after listening to some songs on youtube, I thought the songs are totally boring. what a shame.

tik tik boom is a bomb track!

this album is so house elctro.

also till its gone has some nice verses and chorus

but damn so much autotune on her voice.. almost too much

they mix dubstep and rnb into her songs!

[nznexus]

the best song is till its gone by brit on the whooole album


the dr luke production morning star is boriiing

[Raul_esp]

Seems to be that ''Til it's gone'' is the Third Single. Great Choice , The best song in the album IMO.

Wow, that is good -- just listened now :-)  The bridge could be a song in itself, that first part of it.  So far of this album I've only heard this one, Passenger, Perfume, Brightest Morning Star and of course Work b*tch and I like all of 'em.......maybe this album will become like a cult classic

[j.fco.morales]

You know what? I think there's no good songs in the record.
I kinda like Alien, but the music production sounds dated.

[melodicmoonlight]

Brightest Morning Star is the best. The production is good, it's actually her vocals in the verses, powerful chorus, and nice ending chorus.

Second best is Alien, but the leaked version is better without all that retarded vocal modulation. Why did they fuck with the melody? Also has a nice ambient, repetitive vibe and the lyrics really hit at something the most relevant to Britney.

Perfume is the third best since it's her singing the whole time and she actually gives it her all it seems. 

the Kool Kojak song's got a killer melody and kind of an epic chorus but I feel like (and same goes for several other album tracks) they used her demo vocals and didn't get a good performance out of her. You can obviously tell the lead vocals are spliced with the studio singer - that's what kills this album the most for me. On that song, Passenger, Work b*tch, Body Ache (is that even her?), Tik Tik Boom, they fucking flat out use another singer cut into her singing. And when she IS actually singing, it sounds so lifeless. Idk what - either the producers didn't get a good performance outta her or she just didn't' care to sing the songs well enough.

Til It's Gone and even It Should Be Easy are kinda good - Chillin' With You has potential but again, poor studio techniques. They just copy and paste her verses and chorus one after another. Where are those classic Britney ad-libs? The ones at the end of Body Ache are fake as shit. Completely and offensively not britney singing those and it's amazing how the engineers think they're tricking the audience. Didn't Britney put in time recording? Why didn't she just sing the parts right? If they felt like they couldn't use her parts she obvs didn't sound good.

FF is so pristine compared to BJ. Flawless, sleek, next-level production and she sings every song like she means it. Inside Out is chillingly good (it already was) and classic and I really am savoring that album even moreso after listening to Britney Jean. Dr. Luke needs to be on the next album. And Kool Kojak. No personal bullshit. Just pop smashes
