Blackout preview (or not)

[koganbot]

Heard some more Britney demos of some of what is supposedly going to be on the Britney album, though I don't suppose anything, actually. What I heard wasn't nearly as desperate or insinuating or commanding as "Gimme More." These go for a softer impact, for a smoother, easier dance. More a late evening background pulse than a hot dance-club throb. Britney does them well, though emotionally a lot of these will be slow growers. Not the fierceness I was yearning for, but good as themselves.

(But I don't know if what I heard actually represents the album; didn't include "Cold As Fire" or "Piece Of Me.")

Also, she does a few blues and does them well, by not trying to be heavily bluesy on them, just being Britney.

OK, now that the album is out, I see that most of what she used on the album does head towards the dark dance rather than the evening backgound pulse; near the end of the album she goes a bit more towards balladry, and the album flags, so I wish she'd stuck a couple of the evening background, lounge blues tracks on there instead, because they're better. (But most of what came early on the alb is really good.)
