I really need her to work with Bloodshy & Avant too. I dream of the day where they exec. produce a record of hers. I don't know why that hasn't happened already. Seriously. They are behind quite a few of her best records, and are generally ahead of the curve soundwise. I also wouldn't mind her working with Pharrell again. His recent stuff hasn't been up to par with like, "Slave" or anything, but I still think he works well with Britney and knows how to work with her voice - he showcases it's strengths (sexiness, emotion), while downplaying her limitations (range). Plus I would love to hear her on some kind of funky throwback track.

I want her to do something like Annie's 'Invisible' tbh. Just go all out balls to the wall. That, or an R&B record.

Anything but canned EDM beats (Til It's Gone), boring ballads (Don't Cry), and just straight cheese (Chillin' With You) will be alright with me honestly.
I just miss her being edgy. But yeah, R&B could be fun.

I'll give her credit that, bar a few duds (namely 'Til It's Gone'), Britney Jean wasn't exactly generic. It was just kinda s**t. The more I think about it, I think I'm ok with her never doing (or attempting, rather) another personal album again. That's never been her cup of tea, and a lot of her brand is built on lyrical subtext. That's what a lot of Britney Jean probably is, but I think the fact that they forced the personal angle made it seem very misguided. On paper, that album sounds great but I don't think she or her team could pull off taking the direct approach compared to the subtlety of Blackout (unintentionally) and Circus (intentionally-- looking at 'Womanizer' and 'Circus' specifically). She's just not an artist I think I want to make explicitly personal music, because that takes away from what made her such an icon in the first place. Anything but canned EDM beats (Til It's Gone), boring ballads (Don't Cry), and just straight cheese (Chillin' With You) will be alright with me honestly. I just miss her being edgy. But yeah, R&B could be fun. That bold is why I mentioned Invisible. R&B has a lot of opportunity for growth on pop though, so as long as she does it without crossing over to "appropriation" territory with her interpretation, she'd be good. That said, I want her look to be something along the lines of the 'Scream & Shout (Remix)' video for the era. I want badass Britney back. Where's the comfirmation she's recording a new album? It was heavily implied by William Orbit & Antony Preston, and one of our staff members has a contact at RCA who claims to have heard some demos. It's likely in the very early stages of recording, but it's very likely in the works.

That's what a lot of Britney Jean probably is, but I think the fact that they forced the personal angle made it seem very misguided. On paper, that album sounds great but I don't think she (or her team) could pull that off taking the direct approach so much as what we got with Blackout (unintentionally) and Circus (intentionally-- looking at 'Womanizer' and 'Circus' specifically). She's just not an artist I think I want to make truly personal music, because that takes away from what made her such an icon in the first place. Yes, yes, and yes. I didn't actually listen to "Invisible" when you first mentioned it, but I just gave it a listen, and Britney would totally rock that style. I feel like moving away from Dr. Luke and will.i.am will leave her much more room to experiment and do edgier tracks like that. I mean, what's she got to lose at this point? Between Luke or will, I'd take Luke anyday. However, I hope she stays away from both, with the exception of a few tracks maximum. I want her to work with a bunch of people this time, though I'm not sure the likelihood of that scenario. I'm still shocked that we're even talking about a new Britney record in the works right now. I can't help but get my hopes up a little, haha. Thank you, Ace.

You can thank horchata for bringing it to my attention in 'What Are You Listening To?', but I linked it b/c I figured you'd like it. I want her to work with a bunch of people this time, though I'm not sure the likelihood of that scenario. She usually does, but usually the final product tends to be weighted heavily to one or two producers. Frankly, I'd prefer her to keep it that way because as much as I love Circus, I don't want another variety album. BUT, I'd like her to focus on newer sounds and even new producers. There's plenty of them that are up and coming and could produce a great sound for her (for cheap), and believe it or not she has more street cred with a lot of underground producers than even BeyoncΓ©, so it's not like she's confined to cheap pop hits at all. In a perfect world she'd be calling up people like NGUZUNGUZU, but honestly I'd be perfectly content for a heavily-weighted B&A album.

Anyway, I know mp3 trading is forbidden on Pulse, so convert it to mp4 and send it to me; but if ANYBODY has the 'Passenger' acapella I'll send you dick pics and a kidney for it.

I saw the recording new album portion of the title and I was confused as to why we're doomed was a part of it. Then I saw she is working with a lot of the same people as she did on Britney Jean. That's disappointing. I have mentioned in the past that it isn't as bad as it's made out to be, but for Britney it pales in comparison. I would love to see her use fresh, edgier producers just so we don't have another Britney Jean. Anything but that.

I would love to see her use fresh, edgier producers just so we don't have another Britney Jean. Anything but that. Not a lot; just two (Anthony Preston, William Orbit). The former is disappointing, because he was the one who mixed her vocals with Myah, but William Orbit only did one song on Britney Jean ("Alien"), which is widely regarded as one of the better tracks. Plus, the album (if it's even happening) is in the very early stages, and Britney works usually works with a lot of people in the beginning that don't make the final cut. Idk, I'm cautiously optimistic that this new project will be better than the last. Let's just be thankful will.i.am hasn't been brought up yet (though I hope I didn't jinx it). William Orbit even said in one of the tweets that you'll be happily surprised if you don't want another Britney Jean. Which, I know, words don't really mean anything, because Britney Jean was supposed to be her Ray of Light (remember that comparison? ), but still.

Oh, apparently I overestimated the amount of past collaborators that are working with her on this project. I wouldn't mind Orbit so much (I enjoyed "Alien") but that vocal mixing was subpar, so I'm not looking forward to the former. I hope she finds great producers who will produce quality work, and I hope that Preston's songs don't make the cut lol. Thanks for filling me in though. Same. I didn't even know that they compared Britney Jean to Ray Of Light. Horrible comparison.

Yeah, her team tried to make that comparison when they were still pushing the "my most personal album" thing. I think they said the same about Femme Fatale in it's early stages as well. Hopefully they just drop the whole trying to be "personal" thing (as Kunt said) and just give her some hot material. Unless she's gonna actually try to release a genuinely personal effort (which I doubt she wants to do - due to both her laziness and her not really being open about her personal life in the past few years), no one's going to buy it (literally and figuratively). I honestly feel like the only kind of record that would come across as legitimately personal from her would be a Starbucks tribute album or something.

Yeah, I would really love for her to drop the personal thing. Another Blackout or Circus esque album would be perfect. I also want hot material from her lol. "Work Bitch" was a nice jam but I would love more jams like that from her. And at the Starbucks Tribute Album.

Britney is turning into nothing more than a misused product at this point. Such a shame. Her talent is really being wasted.

I agree that she should really move more towards urban and R&B. At least that's my two cents as well.

The only problem with your post ( Zeebz) is it looks like you're insinuating that "Work Bitch" is not a jam, which would be a damn lie. Style wise, I would prefer the dark, gritty feel of Blackout to the poppy and fun Circus, but I would love a "Guess who's back on top?" kind of era like Circus was. If that makes sense...

I had meant that "Work Bitch" was a jam but I would appreciate more jams from her. That was really the only song from the album I would call a "jam". It still sounds amazing to me and I actually like it more than when it first came out. I'll go back and edit to make my comment make more sense. :) That sounds perfect. I was actually kind of hoping for a combination of the "I'm back on top" era with the darker music.

I want her to take a more minimalistic approach with her new album. She needs to focus on showing off her very unique tone by not drowning it out with a loud production like her past few records. If she wants to do pure pop that would be fine as well, just no Dr. Luke or Will.i.am.

Britney Jean is mainly throwaway trash yes, but if anyone even starts with me on the iconic perfection that is Work Bitch I'm going all in. Just don't.

As I said, I don't know how accurate any of this is - I just thought I'd share what I'd heard. This friend also doesn't even like Britney much, and apparently he said the tracks he heard were really good. I want to be cautiously optimistic that her team realizes how badly BJ bombed and are looking to right the course of the ship, maybe halfway through her Vegas gig to renew the interest, but who knows. Anyway, I'm glad to have at least sparked some conversation. :)

If she wants to do pure pop that would be fine as well, just no Dr. Luke or Will.i.am. Agreed. Although I can't help but wonder whether her last few records have incorporated heavier production due to a lack of confidence in her vocals (from producers, her label, and/or Britney herself). I'll wait with baited breath for new music and pray we finally get a sultry Brunetteney album cover/music video(s). Not Blackout dark, but a shade of Onyx Hotel Tour would be nice.

Her nose looks the same in candids. I think it's the contouring/photoshop.
