Ms. Spears is back. Again. (This time with a vengeance)
It’s Britney, bitch.
After a year or so of more publicized ups and downs than any celebrity today, Britney Spears’ latest comeback makes it look like all those rehab stints and custody battles never happened. She doesn’t skip a beat with her latest single “Womanizer”, a techno-y and clubbish cut off her latest album “Circus”, in which America’s sweetheart tells her man that he’s nothing but a pitiful chump with a wandering eye.
It sounds like a blend of last year’s album “Blackout”, in which the number one hit “Gimme More” was showcased, combined with the girl-power message most female artists try to convey through their music. Not one to shy away from sexual sounds in order to get a point across, Britney includes her typical “ooh’s“ and “aah’s” that would make any womanizer melt.
If you think this sounds good, check out the video. It starts off with the singer showing off her newly-toned body—all of it, one so much like her “Toxic” days. Ms. Spears switches alter-egos throughout the video as she toys with the sexual desires of her “superstar” boyfriend. One of my residents couldn’t help but notice the excessive amount of hair-flips the pop star exhausts as if she were a hood-riding hottie from a 1980s White Snake video.
Finally, it wouldn’t be a Britney video if there wasn’t some sort of quasi-orgy going on near the end. For someone who is trying to put down her boyfriend, I didn’t really notice her girl-power techniques in the song or video. Then again, substantive messages aren’t really the point with her songs anyway.
So even if you’re not a fan, as long as you’re familiar with her sound, you’ll know that “Womanizer” is really nothing new for her.
But the song definitely has a bumping beat with a chorus that will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. It has become part of the workout playlist that I listen to at the gym because it has the adrenaline-ride feel so typical of pop songs these days.
In sum, it sounds like Britney, it feels like Britney, but in order to know that it’s really her, Chris Crocker would have to post up a YouTube remake of his idol’s latest hit. Let the next chapter of the pop diva’s everlasting career begin, because at this point, there’s no stopping her.
