mzncb 332 Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 (1:50) "When asked if âEverytimeâ was an answer song to recent ex Justin Timberlakeâs âCry Me a River,â Britney neither confirmed nor denied, saying, âIâll let the song speak for itself.â That it did, but the piano ballad also spoke for others. Glen Hansard [Grammy and Oscar winner], still some years away from his Once breakthrough, showed this when he and Colm Maclomaire recorded their version under the Frames name. Hansardâs vocals give âEverytimeâ an authenticity that the press wouldnât necessarily attribute to Britneyâs breathier delivery. Do the words âI guess I need you, babyâ come across as being more vulnerable when sung by a man instead of a woman? In any case, the lyrics come from Britney, and Hansard sings them with all the conviction they deserve, making for a powerful cover. â Patrick Robbins http://www.covermesongs.com/2020/05/the-best-britney-spears-covers-ever.html/3: "Half of the Oscar-winning duo behind the film Once, Glen Hansardâs mournful delivery of Britney Spearsâ strongest ballad would not have been at all out of place on the filmâs soundtrack." http://www.covermesongs.com/2010/11/the-ten-best-britney-spears-covers-youve-probably-never-heard.html "I did a couple of songs with Robyn, and she was mates with the whole Swedish crowd around Max Martin. She played them the tracks that weâd done, and they really liked them, and said, âHey, we should bring Britney around.â She just came around to the place where Iâd worked on the Frou Frou material, and initially I wasnât quite sure what to do because sheâs famous for her more dance-y songs, and Iâm not. But it all turned out great. She had the root idea for âEverytimeâ (on her album In the Zone), and I could really tell that her heart was in it. I knew what my mission was. I could see the picture. She believed in the song, and I had to find a way to present it that was true to the simple emotion of it. It was a joy to do. At the time, Britney had started to play the piano a bit, and she could certainly play well enough to spell out the root chords. Sheâd show me what she had, and I would say, âWell, hereâs how we could fill this out.â We both knew where it needed to go, so I could color it in after sheâd sung the main vocal. I love it when I get the vocal very early on, and Iâm free to experiment with arrangement ideas while always hearing that final vocal. I love it when it can happen that way, though not every time is like that. We both knew we had to avoid all the cheezy power ballad cliches. No windchimes into the chorus. No giant snare drums. I loved it." https://consequenceofsound.net/2017/09/from-bjork-to-britney-songwriter-and-producer-guy-sigsworth-on-being-a-kindred-spirit-in-the-studio/5/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
