Music Review: Britney Spears – Gimme More

It's Britney Bitch! After months of waiting the day is finally here; Britney Spear's official single has been released! The official first single off the still unknown titled album is  "Gimme More," and it will be the first studio recording Brit Brit released since 2003. Beside "Gimme More," two more singles have been leaked, "Baby Boy," and "Cold As Fire." Overall, it is my belief that while this is a wonderful leap in the right direction, this is no killer comeback.

"Baby Boy" was the first leaked single, and I say this in quotation marks, not only because I have too according to BC, but because the actual title name is still unknown. While their is no official confirmation, it would be foolish to name the song anything else. The track starts off with what can only be describe as her son, Sean Preston's, rusty old music box. Then comes the beat, followed by Brit.

"Baby Boy" can only be described as a ballad, and Britney really attempts to let loose. It seems evident that she has been attempting to write her own lyrics, mainly because the song is so utterly cheesy that it makes High School Musical look like a serious look into the life of high schoolers. The middle section of the song is by far the cheesiest aspect of the song.

Britney starts talking to who we can only guess is her ex-Kevin Federline (K-Fed). She seems disappointed, and almost passive aggressively angry. "Baby Boy" could have been wonderful. I really like the idea of a glimpse into the life of Britney, and I used to love her voice. Deep down I feel that the leaked version is not the final copy. If I were Britney, I would have my massive production team clean up the vocals and make them sound less stitched together. Ooh ,did I mention the last lines that go: "So why did you desert me, baby boy? I thought that you, you were the one. So if you preferred the other one, She won’t bring you the sun(son)"

"Cold As Fire" is yet another single, and my only beef is Britney's fake, perhaps digitally altered, high voice. I really like the beat, though.

"Gimme More," the official single, will def be big on Clear Channel owned stations. The song's first line is "It's Britney Bitch." When I heard that, my heart skipped a few beats. I was ecstatic. The song is really great, except for her voice. I really dislike Britney's voice when it is high and fake sounding. I feel that her production team decided to digitally transpose her voice to that registry. The song has a wonderful, club-like beat, that will surly make the teens go wild. I really like how the song flows. It leaves me wanting more. I am going to bet that "It's Britney Bitch" will be the main theme of the Brit comeback. If one goes to her Website they will find that they are able to make her say it as many times as you would like. I actually hope that It's Britney Bitch will be the name of the album. Oh, please God, let it be the title.

My overall impression of the start of the Britney comeback is that so far, Brit has made a great step toward a comeback. But I still don't think any of the songs so far are of super amazing caliber.
