britney spears pretty girls?

underwhelming as expected

i actually think this is quite pleasant! g-eazy verse unnecessary tho, hoping that's excised in an edit somewhere down the track

maybe the hot ac stations will edit him off it but i'm not counting on it lol

I really like this. It sounds more like an album track than a lead single but it's a good sound for her.

It sounds like something from Dangerous Woman tbh. Probably would've made more sense as an Ariana single but that sound is a good lane for 2k16 brit

i love it

it sounds like something miguel would write for janet jackson

yeah i've gone from thinking "not bad" to "i love it" pretty quickly

the chorus is AMAZING

whoa this is sensational

holy shit that's what g-eazy is though? he's like the worst possible cross between mack miller and wiz khalifa

g-eazy is disgusting

g eazy has some decent guest verses but this is a bad match for him

I can't get past the cynicism of having first iggy then g-eazy on a britney spears song, it's as if team britney is saying "britney can't carry a song by herself anymore, but her market can't have a RAPPER rapper, if you're picking up what I'm putting down"

yeah seriously

like, a portion of the stations they're hoping will play this song edited ty dolla $ign off "work from home" even tho his guest vocals on it aren't rap

that's pop radio in 2016 though, a big racial hedge

New album Glory out on the 26th. Hopefully she can stick to the good album bad album pattern that she's been following since Blackout and make this another great one. I'm also hoping Pretty Girls isn't anywhere near this.

It's a shame Make Me doesn't seem to be doing anything, I keep going back to it a lot. It didn't even make the top 40 in the UK.

I don't understand why the video hasn't been released yet. She's lost momentum now and the song has dropped in a week from #17 to #52 in the US.

i don't think it was promoted in the UK.

I read that she'd scrapped the video which is obviously a terrible move. It should have been out last week.

well that's two singles i like

*gets hopes up*

the new one sounds like ariana grande's first album

yeah it does!

When I get Make Me stuck in my head it keeps turning into Desire by Jessie Ware.

i appreciate that she didn't sing "private show" completely straight but unfortunately her voice sounds very unpleasant on it

really like the new single

Make Me video is out, unfortunately it's a bit of a mess https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etfJCm0nfr4

Apparently some of the original David LaChapelle directed video has already leaked online. I haven't seen any of it but people are saying it's a lot better and her fans are now demanding it gets released. The whole thing is a complete mess but it is getting more attention for the song which is good to see.

the lachapelle video involves Brit throwing a tv out of a window. it's amazing

this is like gimme more meets a magic mike-ized x factor

So, Glory turned out to be a great record. Brilliant production and probably her most varied set of songs. Man On The Moon is the best song she's done since Blackout. There aren't really any songs I don't like on some level. It's great to hear having so much fun again. Can't believe this is the same person that put out Britney Jean a few years ago.

Yeah, this album is shockingly great.

gotta echo what's said above; there's not a stinker in the bunch

Yeah, I've been listening to this all day. Such a brilliant record. She sounds so confident again. Britney Jean was obviously awful but this is way ahead of Femme Fatale which I always loved. There's just so much going on and you can actually hear her voice and personality all over these songs.

and the songs take many unexpected left turns!

lolling @ how "Better" is such an obv "Lean On" rip

this album is fucking phenomenal

Yes.

I pretty much love everything about this album.

"Better" is amusing but I particularly like the production on "Love Me Down" and "If I'm Dancing", the latter of which recalls Switch and Dillon Francis at their best IMO.

She also sounds like a dozen different singers on this album!

guess I have to download this before bed *sigh*

It's a brilliantly produced album. So far from the cheap and hollow sounding Britney Jean.

Yeah, her voice is all over the place. I really liked Femme Fatale but she mostly sounded really detached on those songs. Here she sounds so invested and like she's having more fun than she's had since In The Zone.

Yeah it reminds me of In The Zone quite a bit, the sense of her playing with different characters and styles, rather than projecting either a specific persona (Blackout) or an absence of same (everything since).

Favourites on first listen (on a flight) were If We're Dancing and Clumsy (!!!) I dunno about no stinkers but it's so pleasantly surprising after Britney Jean and Pretty Girls

Oh I also forgot the last song which is sung I think entirely in French??!?! so great

Yeah, that's a great way to end the album. If We're Dancing is one of my favourites. Man On the Moon, Slumber Party, Invitation, Just Like Me and Hard to Forget Ya are all up there too.

If I'm Dancing is the best Britney Spears song I've ever heard in my life.

ah, I just listened to a few songs and was wondering where some of the tracks mentioned here were : they're only on the deluxe version !
the track in french is quite wtf... but it's pretty cool (although I don't understand everything she says... and I'm french !).
first album from her that I care enough to listen to since Circus (which I didn't like much, especially following the great Blackout).

i'm starting to suspect there's an inverse correlation between cover art and album quality: 'britney jean' had her best cover art in years, and the music was terrible; 'glory' has an embarrassingly shoddy and half-assed cover, and the music is great!

Glory's cover is roughly the same as Femme Fatale's, isn't it ?
Funny, I just looked at all the covers and up to In the zone she looks like the young Britney then suddenly from Blackout on, it's grown up Britney (although on Britney Jean she seems younger than on the previous ones).
