Britney Spears - Work Bitch

luv u britney

daft punk remix is gonna be hott

best song

we, as a family, have listened 5x in a row.

britney brings us together.

uhh

this is amazing

Like this! She should release an alter ego album under the name Britney Bitch. She could call it "It's Britney Bitch." Every song could have bitch in the title.

Birth Bitch
School Bitch
Work Bitch
Death Bitch

this album is gonna be epic. i can feel it.

I smell concept album.

wtf is up with her inflections on this song

Embracing her inner RuPaul on this one! Kinda.

she sounds like a child imitating a british person

so, like madonna then.

this is the best Britney song I've heard since "I'm A Slave 4 U"

whole last album was the best britney song.

This is great. Top workout song of the 2010s.

A++++++

this is dope though... and i'm stunned there's a cleverness to their use of "work bitch" instead of them just trying to ride the post-ball revival wave

awesome

blood sausage content: 100%

GO CALL THE GUVVERNOR

wtf is up with her inflections on this song

anonymous in that inevitable britney way but this bangs

u want anonymity
u want inevitability
U BETTER WORK BITCH

i was almost ready to give in a little until the 'ring the alarm' part, ugh

I can't hear the song some kind of copyright claim. I searched it out again but ran into a fake.

A+

The bubb-lah.

is there a moombahton remix yet? i should look.

wtf is up with her inflections on this song

lol this song

sounds like that will.i.am one where she sounded british too, it's basically the same "melody"

i guess naughty british spoken word is the new thing!

i actually liked some of her vocal inflections (go call the guh-vah-nah!) but i dunno the initial impression i had was that the backing was way too BEP in EDM mode for me

maybe i will come around.

This is pretty rad! Is there a thread about the second coming of MDMA? Seems to be the thing these days.

Kind of reminds me of 212.

i guess naughty british spoken word is the new thing!

Maybe a couple influences here - Nicki Minaj doing her silly Roman voice ("you've gone mahd!") and a mini-crop of actual British voices on the charts, most notably Cher Lloyd but also Jessie J a little bit.

Not sure I'm seeing the instant-classic qualities of this, it's passable but not earth-shaking. Feels empty, missing something.

this is so bad

it's even less subtle than the typical bep in edm mode

i am still figuring out whether this is a good or bad thing honestly. definitely seems to be missing something.

hell, i should just accept that i will probably end up loving this by the time a video is dumped onto the internet.

the weird britishisms make it sound like she's trying to channel MIA or Yolandi or something?

It could do with a proper chorus and melody.

proper choruses and melodies are so 2000 and late

i just listened to this with my boyfriend and started crying laughing

what with lady Gaga's APPLAUSE apparently the season is good for hilarious songs

u wanna be fancy
live in a big mansion
party in france
u betta work bitch

also to quote dlisted.com "I love how Brit Brit is telling you to “work, bitch” when she probably recorded this via iPhone in 10 minutes while sitting in her regular booth at Buffalo Wild Wings."

212 was a lot more thrilling than this.

That said this is more in line with the music Azealia should be making instead of whatever boring shit she's served up for the past 12 months

gbx beat me to it--was going to say accent sounds a little like M.I.A.

Love the extra syllable at the end of each line
You wanna live fancy
Live in a big mansion

Why is she only dominating other women in the video? How boring.

can't believe i'm about to earnestly respond to a cousin slappy post BUT it's because the song directly addresses women right? (even tho it panders to a gay male fanbase)

Men don't want to look hot in a Bugatti apparently.

Video is just ok but love the sharks. Her dancing is v awkward.

doing her margaret thatcher impression again

haha

I love the idea that this is what goes through Britney's mind when she'd rather be sitting with the children gorging on junk food.

ha

Why is she only dominating other women in the video? How boring.

Part of what I like about the song is there's no sex, no relationships, no men...

Bechdel test

lol

sharks tho

new album is called "Britney Jean," out Dec. 3:

http://s3.amazonaws.com/images.hitfix.com/assets/3504/britney-spears-britney-jean.jpg

it's a shop

it was tweeted from her official account, unless you're just remarking that it's heavily photoshopped in which case yes

i can tell by the pixels.

and from having seen a lot of shops in my time.

finally a decent britney spears album cover! (cf worst britney spears album cover )

Ha, I was just thinking her streak continues apace

has someone been at her nose again

perfume, co-written by sia

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10101423630495255

this song is unintentionally (i presume?!) hilarious

"i'm gonna mark my territory"

"i hope I fill the room, when she's in it with you"

"i hide it well, hope you can tell, but I hope she smells my perfume"

sounds like brit just took a dump in the corner

Wait 'til it's used to sell gift sets for the holidays.

It's way better than "Work Bitch." I find it fascinating how much Sia's guide vocals lead these singers, too—like that first verse sounds beamed in from another galaxy where Britney can belt.

oh wow! i feel like it's been a long time since brit's had a performance this emotive. i love robo-britney and i think 'work bitch' is great, but this is exciting

this is interesting until I hear spots where she sounds exactly like rihanna in "diamonds"

anyone else getting madonna "i'll remember" vibes?? this is a +ve

(sia vibes in pop are incresingly a -ve)

What is this BJ?! It's terrible!

Album is streaming on iTunes

very strange album

If by strange, you mean boring and disappointingly faceless, then yes, strange.

yeah i mean strange as in...where are the hits

basically some BEP knockoffs and some katy perry demos thrown together

yikes, what was the last song she put out that was as boringly empty as "alien"? plodding musically, bland + unevocative lyrics, vocals not engaged with the message at all? and that's the track you start things off with??

The dance tracks are very by the numbers and typical of will.i.am, the midtempos are largely forgettable and clearly not being song by her. This is an album of 5s and 6s waiting for a couple 8s and 9s to come in and redeem the whole thing but it never happens.

wow what a disappointing and boring album :///

It's hard to believe this album came from the same person that made something as thrilling as Blackout.

Britney was about as present for Blackout as Bowie was for Station to Station.

well at least jamie lynn has a new single out right

Never liked anything by Britney Spears (first single excepted, sort of). Especially "Toxic"--hated that. But "Scream and Shout" and "Work Bitch" are two of my favourite singles this year. I'm clearly on the wrong page when it comes to her.

who decided that 10 mostly mid-tempo songs could comprise a successful album, smh. i still love 'work bitch' and 'perfume' and i think they do well paired back to back, but the rest of the album is such a disappointing slog. i enjoyed her song from the smurfs 2 movie more than most of these.

'chillin' with you' is one of the more soulless of brit's family-related songs in recent memory. like, i rarely listen to 'my baby' off of circus, but i appreciate it as a seemingly earnest expression of her love for her kids. this has no heart or soul or even familiarity at all. also the decision to have brit and jamie pronounce "with you" as "witchu" gets more embarrassing the longer the song goes on.

the thing is, this is the album that by rights britney should have made 5-6 years ago. i think the fact that she kept churning out decent-to-brilliant pop despite being on drugs, incapable, heavily medicated and/or clearly disinterested made people think she could do that forever. i guess this time the disinterest finally showed.

More the disinterest of everyone around here really. Think everyone just decided the game was up when Femme Fatale failed to shift even a million copies. Whereas before Blackout she was still defineably A Big Deal and they were going to get that record out AND make it good even if they had to physically push her into the studio and get someone else to record most of it.

Everyone around HER, I mean.

boring and disappointingly faceless

But it's supposedly her most personal record to date! Oh, wait.

i didn't even like femme fatale that much but it seemed like a huge success compared to this

"Body Ache" is my favorite.

i'm intrigued by the one song on here produced by diplo and co-written by katy perry, just seems odd

Wow, this album kind of sucks? And I liked Femme Fatale more than most folks.

Ha, I didn't actually read the thread before I posted. Much love to y'all.

I heard part of "Perfume" at the record store on Wednesday and it was really just the saddest thing, I felt like Britney just needed a hug that day
