Seal It With A Kiss sounds great!

[Callum]

Till the World Ends preview

Youtube video

Written by Ke$ha so understandable that it sounds very her, the chorus reminds me of Blow. Still sounds hot though.

[Callum]

Haters are so mature, posting **** in a APPRECIATION thread, it's hilarious.

Criminal sounds good! Rather folk-ish...

I'm loving Till the World Ends but I don't think it's as good as HIAM for me

[Callum]

Brit just confirmed a summer tour for Femme Fatale

[M X]

I wish Mark would login and change the thread title

Could one of the mod's do it?

Loving Till The World Ends btw!

[Callum]

Same, but I think he's left for good.

Not sure, worth a try, it does need updating though. Me too, can't stop playing it.

['Conor]

till the world ends is AMAZING

[Barbie]

Agreed the title needs changing, its still on about Glee!!

like all the previews apart from big fat bass

['Conor]

#3 on irish itunes
#3 on us itunes
#13 on uk itunes

doing well considering there was no hype for promo!

[Callum]

Yeah I hope it can give her another UK top 10, I've given up hope of her ever having a UK number one again unless she releases a pop masterpiece but a top 10 is good.

New clip - (Drop Dead) Beautiful

Same thing happened with Circus so I wouldn't be surprised

Her management are pretty poor at keeping things under wraps



oh and TTWE charted @ #55 on sunday

Till The World Ends is brilliant.
Beats HIAM and Born This Way hands down!

[Callum]

(Drop Dead) Beautiful leaked and it's amazing

[Callum]

Inside Out also leaked and it's another great song, I can see the whole album leaking today.

[Vladimir]

OMG, Inside Out is really HOT, Drop Dead Beautiful is great, too. Can't wait for the whole album.

[Callum]

I Wanna Go just leaked. The beat is epic! Has to be a single

[Smithy]

album leaked

[Callum]

Album is amazing. They went slightly overboard with the autotune, that's my only negative, the songs are all pop gems.

[Callum]

Criminal is a masterpiece.

Other faves: Seal It With a Kiss, Gasoline, I Wanna Go, Inside Out, How I Roll and Trouble for Me and of course the two singles

Basically the whole album

The only one which I'm not fond of is Big Fat Bass but I know it'll grow on me. Great pop album and it's much better than Circus!

[Vladimir]

I agree, Criminal is AMAZING. My faves: HIAM, Till The World Ends, Inside Out, Seal It With A Kiss, Trouble For Me, (Drop Dead) Beautiful

The whole album is great.

The whole album is great.

[Callum]

Forgot (Drop Dead) Beautiful, that's also amazing. The chorus is so slick and epic, the "boy you know..." bit reminds me slightly of Prince.

[iRyan]

This album is so good I want to cry. It's everything I wanted and more from Britney. By far her best album ever, it's like In The Zone meets Blackout x100.

I can't even pick one song I like the best because I LOVE them all. And the album is so cohesive and flows so well.

Sun review:

BRITNEY SPEARS has graduated from pop princess to hardcore dance queen.
I was one of the first journalists in the world to have an exclusive listen of new album Femme Fatale and clubbing fans will be pleased to know there are some anthemic corkers on there.

The singer has switched typically chart-friendly tunes like Toxic and Womanizer for a more edgy vibe.

(Drop Dead) Beautiful is the stand-out track, an infectious toe-tapper that screams single material.

The heavy bassline, reminscent of DAVID GUETTA beats, was penned for blaring out the Ibiza clubs this summer.

The words are also overtly sexual, with the 29-year-old singing: "I would pay whatever just to get a better view/ Your body looks so sick, I think I got the flu."

Big Fat Bass is a dirty, sweaty track featuring BLACK EYED PEAS star WILL.I.AM.

Oddly the production on the opening lyrics makes Brit sound like his X Factor protégé CHER LLOYD.

It is the first track since 1999's debut hit Baby One More Time that isn't instantly recognisable as Britney.

Cheeky song Inside Out is a slow tempo number, with a dubstep intro that wouldn't go amiss off a TINIE TEMPAH record.

The sensual break-up song is jam-packed with suggestive lyrics about hopping into bed one more time before ending a relationship.

Britters sings: "Won't you give me something to remember/ Baby, shut your mouth and turn me inside out.

"Even though we can't last forever, you know what I want right now."



Back on form ... Britney Spears
Criminal sprinkles in some naiveté from the early years, reminiscent of her ballad Sometimes.

With the heavy presence of the flute, the folky track sounds like something straight out of The Wicker Man.

Prancing around the maypole springs to mind.

While the song sounds innocent when she addresses her mother, the lyrics are a lot darker.

She sings: "Mama, I'm in love with a criminal/ And this kind of love isn't rational/ It's physical."

Gasoline is the most poppy song, which would fit on any of her records.

Loyal Brit fans might have a tough time adjusting to her new sound.

But top marks for trying something new.

I hope Seal It With A Kiss becomes a single and becomes the first dubstep influenced song on American pop radio (even though she already did it with HIAM, Seal It With A Kiss is full on)
