Okay, Britney Spears’ Femme Fatale should leak in full by next week with all these teasers… A preview of her second single, “Till The World Ends,” surfaced.
The preview is thirty seconds of catchy radio, no doubt. However, the snippet does nothing to show off how great the song is, if it is that great. We’ll wait for the full track to properly judge. The single goes to radio on March 14.
Okay, time to do a little catch up on Britney Spears. With Femme Fatale due out at the end of the month the promo is kicking into full gear. Spears will perform on ABC’s Good Morning America on March 29 (WATCH PROMO HERE).
In other Spears’ news, V Mag has featured the Pop icon in its latest issuse. Embracing a more settled and sophisticated look, Spears looks as sweet as cotton candy and as bright as the sun -_o. In the feature, Spears’ describes Femme Fatale as her best-to-date and that the “record is for the clubs, or something you play before you go out at night.”
Speaking of Femme Fatale, the single cover for the next single entitled “‘Til The World Ends” surfaced online, today. No snippet of the single has surfaced as yet but it being described and a smash… View the single cover below.
“‘Til The World Ends” may not have leaked but more snippets from the album have including the Will.i.am-featured “Big Fat Bass,” “Seal It With a Kiss” and just recently, “Criminal.” Like Spears stated in the V Mag feature… “I think Femme Fatale speaks for itself.” Listen to the snippets below.
And the teasers from Britney Spears’ Femme Fatale album keep leaking, courtesy of Dr. Luke’s SoundCloud account. The latest is an itty bitty clip of “How I Roll,” produced by Bloodshy and Avant.
Holy smokes, this is soooo goood. Britney Spears is channelling Robyn in this left-field cut from the album. It’s definitely a surprising evolution in her sound. Whereas the other snippets have a bold mainstream sound, “How I Roll” is a nice slice of quirky. As usual, Spears’ team is giving a good mix of mainstream and more artistic. We cannot wait for this album now.
Britney Spears’ Femme Fatale will arrive in stores next month, March. It now seems that the same strategy her team used for her music video is being used for the music. Yes, another short teaser of a song from the album premiered. This time it was the Max Martin and Shellback-produced “I-I-I Wanna Go-o-o.”
Another great sounding song from this era, with its thumping bassline and whistling. Getting those Euro vibes from this one.

While Britney Spears, the performer, is somewhat of a huge question mark, one thing will always seems to remain consistent… The consistency lies within Spears’ music. Producer Dr. Luke tweeted a 15-second song snippet of a track entitled “Inside Out.” The track is stated as being the second single from the upcoming album, take a listen…
Her manager, Larry Rudolph, described the song as “extraordinary” and we aren’t disagreeing. Unlike like “Hold It Against Me” we genuinely like this song outside the excitement. This one sounds explosive without trying too hard. Femme Fatale is shaping up very nicely.
If you have 8 minutes to spare, view the video below. One of the beats will be used on Femme Fatale. That first three sound so Britney, especially the first.

Well would you look at that. More than a decade in the music industry and Britney Spears can still break records without promotion or a gimmick. The song is not perfection but it’s worthy of the top spot… It’s Britney, BITCH!

The seventh era of Britney Spears is in full effect. The first single, “Hold It Against Me,” came early today, ahead of its Tuesday release. Premiering on Ryan Seacrest‘s Z100 show, the demo that leaked last week was not too far off from the mastered piece of music.
The dance club ready track is produced by longtime Britney collaborators, Dr. Luke & Max Martin. The gritty and pounding synths and lyrics are identical to the demo’s but as the song progresses some signature Spears’ touches are apparent i.e. her baby doll one-liners. Some way through the song we get to hear the dubstep Britney experimented with. It emerges in the form of a breakdown followed by another dance build up.
Britney Spears definitely came strong with this first single keeping up with the uptempo times of radio music but at the same type keeping it more complex with the implementation of another genre. The single is definitely a lot edgier than we thought but at the same time not as memorable. We cannot wait to see the direction of this new album but until then be prepared for Spears to eat up the charts with “Hold It Against Me.”
