britney spears pretty girls?

ok so i like, kind of watched this video. britney is v cute, lol. also pro-tip: the song sounds a lot better at a bar where there is a lot of noise to drown it out.

This song is already dropping down the charts. Peaked at 29, now down to 38.

I'm actually shocked this is flopping. Wonder how it will do in the UK?

It's kind of the quintessential kitchen-party Snapchat dance/lip-sync song. Also could end up being a wedding-reception staple for a while.

it's kind of scary

i don't see it catching on to the extent that ppl will be hurriedly uploading their lipsync vids or putting it on wedding playlists

maybe it will chart okay in the uk, they tend to still throw britney a bone and they haven't fully rejected iggy azalea yet lol

Would an earlier edition of ilx been more defensive of iggy? What does chuck eddy think of iggy?

Christgau loves her, at least!

i still think the Sarai single was really good, we probably missed out on a better proto-Iggy with her

I also thought this would do a lot better than it has.

really! interesting. do i need to listen to it again? i might.

tbh i can't fault britney for trying to reverse engineer a hit out of charli xcx's britney impression

does britney's upcoming single seriously feature g-eazy

why is the music industry collectively devaluing the britney spears legacy/'brand' by pairing her with untalented white rappers

the interlude skit in the video about fixing the phone is like a scene from I-BE-AREA

nooooooo

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

im loving the back half of this album - Better to Coupure Electrique is a pretty great run. Also just chuffed about the atmostpheric rise of Bloodpop.

this seems to be the Glory thread. the 2020 Deluxe version just came out (please don't confuse it with the 2016 Deluxe version!). it has three newnever before released songs, four years after the fact, no one gives a shit**, but I do like "Matches", the song with the Backstreet Boys that forks posted on another Britney thread earlier today - the gallop in the chorus & post-chorus is exquisite:

**HOWEVER, we do get the ORIGINAL "Slumber Party", which had been scraped off the internet, back. The superfluous Tinashe version has been disposed of. Four years too late, but still.
