I feel kinda guilty now listening to her later stuff now that I know her dad forced her to make more albums, but that doesn't mean they aren't good. And she's not asking people not to listen, so meh. but I've subconciously stayed away from them :/
i listened to her single with will.i.am, and as with the elton single, i knew it wasn't for me and i was not wrong. but part of being britney clearly is music - she's looking for a safe way to return to the space. while there's obviously a load of baggage, she's thankfully not a circus tiger who performed only because a whip told her to. of her actual path i have no clue
Totally understandable. I am not a huge fan of hers as i always knew her as a 90s girl whereas i was born in '95 and started listening to pop in ~2003-2004
same, but baby one more time was my jam in the early 2000s tho
@scrubbles @shortwavesurfer The memoir could go either way. Hopefully, she's given the space to talk freely and frankly about what happened during the conservatorship, and hold people to account. But there's a not insignificant chance it will just be soft-focus inspirational cliches with a lot of sidestepping around uncomfortable subjects.
If it's the former, I'm interested. If it's the latter, then I wish her well, but maybe it's not for me.
As for her music, while it was pretty much inescapable on the radio, MTV (when they still played videos), and the general zeitgeist, I honestly didn't listen to much. Admittedly, Toxic and Me Against the Music were a great video clips.
I gave her music a second go during the conservatorship saga. In that context, tracks like her cover of My Prerogative, Lucky, Overprotected, and Piece of Me take on a whole depth of meaning. On the other hand, the idea that the Lou and Jamie made her sing "Work Bitch" during the conservatorship is kinda icky.
The new singles, including the Elton one, are decent, but part of me is still holding out for that Blackout 2 album where she finally gets to take full creative control.
