Whew … the pop canon throwback … back out to Blackout 

 

Spoiler

“It's Britney, Bxxch! 12 artists (and Britney) celebrate 10 years of Blackout.” (via Fader)

It was a tumultuous time. Paparazzi had literally cut through the bushes at the studio to try to get a glimpse of her and her child. They were following and harassing [her], so the security at every studio we worked in was super high. I felt really bad for her. But when Britney stepped in the studio, she was focused, and so pleasant to be around — even if we only got two hours of her, which would be the case some days. One time she got a phone call and disappeared out of the booth. She takes it so [seriously], and an artist that takes themselves seriously has to acknowledge when they are unable to give their 100 percent that day, to protect their art. I respect that so much more than an artist who would come in and bullsxxt you.

We were given the specific direction that she did not want the music to mimic her personal life. So we figured, OK, so let’s create a fantasy world that she would be happy in. We did a few days at her home, and we also worked at The Palms studio in Vegas — we did a week or so there. We also worked at Conway Studios in Los Angeles. I would say we spent two weeks or maybe a month in Britney mode.

The songs that we created [“Gimme More,” “Break the Ice,” “Perfect Lover,” “Outta This World”] were very much part of a time where we would get very little of Britney. She did not write on any of the songs that we did — we would create, and I would lay a demo while we awaited her arrival. I’m on the background of everything that we did, just because she wanted to focus on her delivery and her lead vocal. When we played her my demo of “Break the Ice,” she didn’t want to do the back- ground. Honestly, I think she said some- thing like, “it sounds like me anyway.”

“Gimme More” happened at Conway — [Danja] had done the beat in his headphones, and we all had chills. I started [sings], “Gimme Gimme, Gimme, Gimme Gimme” over the low-end. It was just so easy! I believe it was Jim Beanz who came up with the line “It’s Britney, bxxch.” We were joking around in the studio, and I remember telling him, “Do it, go do it, put it on there.” I remember [Jim] being a little reserved about it, like, “How’s she gonna feel?” But I was like, “That’s how she’s gotta feel!” It’s cocky, and we simply wanted her to feel that way about this record. She had what I call the “fxxk it factor.” She had been pushed into it. And the “fxxk it factor” is actually when an artist does something bold, ‘cause it’s like, “I know this is not conventional, and I know this is not why they love me, but fxxk it.” [ Source ]

[River 127,933]

[Schwerk 7,454]

Used to use an instrumental of Knock you down all the time as a tv editor.

‚I Like’ was a low-key hit in Europe in 2010. Cute summer bop

Ahh yeah I know both songs but I did lock onto The Way I Are part of your post.
The Way You Love Me I always found a bit annoying, it's too samey throughout

[NemoMyName 2,238]

All I know is that she's the reason Britney sings like that in some Blackout songs

[gagzus 23,741]

Poot Keri her career got ended by Beyoncé and her fans.
