In the MTV documentary " Miley : the movement" , there is a moment when Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears come together to record a duet that will later end in " Bangerz ." The difference between the two , as they speak during a break from recording , is abysmal . The first bursts of energy, describes with enthusiasm the ideas for the album, the performances , costumes and video , and the second nods, smiles and looks around like a lady disoriented for a moment that came out of the house to do the shopping and found herself having to sing in a studio full of strange gadgets . The feeling is that it was not an isolated case and that Britney is continually dragged here and there for a job that does not interest nor the energy to do more .
The eighth album, " Britney Jean" , was announced as his work " more personal ." The executive producer will.i.am stated in interviews the intention of affecting something that better reflect the age and personality of a pop star who now rightly spends more time caring for children than to lash out at the disco. There are those who said it was her "Ray of Light" , the spiritual turning point of the Madonna that much pleased the public , the critics and his accountant.
All these beautiful premises proved to be ridiculous from the first , cafonissimo single " Work bitch " (failed) attempt to replicate the success of "Scream & Shout " . But there remained the hope that the rest of the album could still offer some trace more intimate and sophisticated , and that the heavy hand of will.i.am felt a bit ' less. Empirical evidence shows that at least four out of ten songs meet expectations - assuming that by " personal " we pretend to be understood as " love ballads written and produced by a dozen different authors ." " Alien," in which he worked William Orbit , Britney sees floating in space in solitude ; "Passenger " produced by Diplo and an unrecognizable written , among others, by Katy Perry and Sia , is a pleasant pop-rock power ballad in which the singer chooses to no longer be the one behind the wheel in a relationship , " Do not Cry " is about a love gone wrong as " Perfume" , where the argument is , however, treated with more venom (Britney hopes that the other woman feel her scent on man contended ) . ( Product placement : Britney puts on the market a different scent every year for ten years. ) However , there is a lack of depth in the sound and the voice hyper- correct dall'autotune that makes all these songs really not credible . They seem demo sung casually waiting for a real pop star get to her and make her put us transport that would require .
It is still worse, much worse , in moments dance . In " It Should Be Easy" and "Body ache ," Guetta and will.i.am are competing to see who can bring home the homework eurotrash more annoying , " Tik tik boom" is rendered even more useless by the collaboration of TI ( mica do not want to put a rapper ? ) and " Chillin ' with you" saw an inexplicable comparsata Jamie Lynn Spears, which certainly does not have the makings of his sister when he was her age.
Britney does not need other successes to maintain its status , but here it fails on both the commercial and on that creative , once again giving the impression that they happened to be there or have too nodded in a series of co-workers even less interested in her to put together a good collection . From the eighth album by the iconic pop star so you would expect a more serious attempt to get back in the game because , otherwise , we might as well simply selling perfumes.
