Britney Spears: Blackout

Her first studio album in years!

Lately, not one day goes by without a news update on the rollercoaster ride that has become Britney Spears. Despite her running over a paparazzi's foot and losing her kids for the second time, it's easy to forget that she has a new album coming out on October 30, 2007.

Her new album, appropriately titled Blackout is Spears' first album of all new material in four years. Originally scheduled to be released on November 13, 2007, Spears' label Jive Records moved up the release date because of numerous internet leaks (*ahem* Perez Hilton) but few of the leaked songs actually made it onto Blackout, according to Jive Records who released the official track listing last week.

Blackout contains twelve tracks of Euro-synthpop dance music and leads off with her first single, "Gimme More" proclaiming: "It's Britney...Bitch." The single, produced by Nate "Danja" Hills, has already reached No.3 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts; she has also become the No.1 download on I-tunes for the song and the music video. Her previous album, In the Zone topped the charts and sold over 609,000 copies in its first week making Spears the only female in music history to have her first four studio albums debut at No.1.

Britney I luv ur new song "Gimme More" it was so tight after what
happened to u.
I was totally going to write her off as a washup and a has-been
after her crazy antics. I definitely didn't think that if she was
going to come back on the music scene that she was going to be
successful, but after listening to the album, I've changed my
mind. Her album is not that bad and definitely shows that she is
still legitimate in the music world. All of the songs are so
catchy and full of energy. Even when she's rapping on Toy
Soldiers, it's not that bad. I have to give her props and put her
crazy behavior aside after hearing her album.
I have been in Britney denial for the past 5 years, especially
towards the embarassing stunts she'd pull, but I love the music in
this CD. Not 1 song on here is all sappy and lovey dovey. Plus, it
makes you want to dance! How can anybody hate that? She doesn't
seek acceptance from the haters, and I love that about her. Maybe
soon people will give her a break!
i hate the music she makes and just her as a person....shes doin
all this just for attention
i love her new songs
I downloaded her new cd and its not bad at all, actually prolly
one of her best.
I personally liked Britney Spears when she was a diva(when
"Sometimes" and "From The Bottom of My Broken Heart" came out).
She was actually more enjoyable instead of the Aguilara-style that
she's pulling off. To be honest, I can't even stand rap/hip-hop,
it I believe Britney was more respected during the pop/diva scene.
Wrong way to go Britney...
Personally. I used to like Britney's music but it's all bad now
and I can't stand it. I don't respect her as an artist or a
person anymore and this new album of hers will not bring her
career back, sorry.
I read a review on The New York Times on her CD, and surprisingly,
they gave her a good review. I thought they were going to bash
her...they did, on her personal life, but they praised her album.
They mentioned it was a strong album.
ewww she does drugs and she was bald ewww
listened and downloaded the new cd and that isa big stretch for
me. i am an avid britney hater and i actually downloaded and
listened to her new cd so its not that bad. this comming from
someone who listens to slipnot and korn and that stuff. lol.
I heard it, and it's nothing to run home and tell the folks about.
It see,s if the songs are up-tempo, then folks are gonna
automatically call it good. Some of her beats are horrible.


BTW, The BSB have anew album out in OCTOBER 31st!!!
i'm buying it.
It's all interesting. I personally like "some" of Britneys music.
For example, I like her new song *Piece Of Me* Because it talks
about real life and shit she has been through. I think it will be
interesting to see how her career goes from here.
i'm gonna get it first thing tuesday!!!!
I can'r wait for her album.
I love Britney and I will be buying the cd the very first day!!
she is who she is, but this article is about her MUSIC. If you
like her music then great! Cause I LOVE her music, if you dont'
like her music well that's cool too, unless you don't like her
music because of the way she is in her personal life... personal
life and business life should be considered seperate, and with all
the media since the age of 17, it was bound to make her insane
like she is... still love her music though! and I WILL be buying
her CD even though I can just download it. I love to dance and I
always loved to dance to her songs and will continue to do so, I
don't like her as a person atm but as a music artist, she's on my
top 10 fav artists!

Go, Britney! (I never actually thought I'd say that, EVER, but I
just happen to think everything that's been going on is UNFAIR and
probably inaccurately portrayed. I REFUSE TO BE SWAYED BY THE
IMAGE THAT THE PRESS SHOVES DOWN MY THROAT OF BRITNEY.)
Britney!
You should def listen to the gimme more remix ft. T.I, it's tha
shiiiit!
I'm actually excited to hear this. I still like Britney's music
but I can't help but wonder when she's going to get her act
together. Every time I think she's going to something else
happens. I wish her the best and will most likely purchase the
album.
i really like her toy soldier song...this is a dance cd, good
beats!
the cd is awesome
I seriously despise her "Gimme More" song and I'm pretty sure it
sets the tone for the rest of the cd.
I love her new album!
i really like "heaven on earth" and "radar" gets stuck in your
head..to me, her voice sounds really different though..

cant wait for the album though :)
can't wait for her new album to come out, i think its gonna be
real good. I wish everyone would just butt out of her personal
life though and let her get it sorted out without all that crud.
Maybe leave the spotlight for awhile. But yeah i wish her all the
best
leave her alone. her new song is catchy. but we've created a
monster and driven her, literally, insane. hopefully she won't
commit suicide.
