It's another beautiful summer day and a great day for a great dance tune. Britney's Till the World Ends is probably one of my top five all-time favorite dance songs, mostly because it always gets me moving. Have a great Friday everyone!
Good morning and Happy Friday! We've got Britney for this week's flashback and with the current state of our news, a very appropriate song. She could just be talking about anybody these days, right? Here's Womanizer...
The year 2016 saw several big name returns to the music scene, including one Britney Spears. Returning to the more dancier, polished side of things compared to her 2013 Britney Jean record, the new Glory album is chock full of dance stuff more reminiscent of the great Femme Fatale album. This jam, the record's debut single, is less of a dancey track and more of a mid-tempo, but splendid tune. Check out Make Me...
I swear I didn't know this before I decided on this tune for Song of the Day, but as I searched for a decent audio version of it I discovered that just a day ago it was announced that Clumsy would be the newest single off of Britney Spears' newest album Glory. I was actually listening to the album in the car last night and decided that this was one of the better songs on the album, very clubby and very Britney. So there! (Pats himself on back!) Check out Clumsy...
After a spring and summer with not much excitement going on in the music world, it looks like fall will be a time to get down. Four iconic pop/dance divas have all announced plans to release brand new albums, and this blogger couldn't be more excited. Katy Perry, Britney Spears, P!nk and now Lady Gaga have all been stirring from long slumbers to reawaken our senses with some brand new stuff. Here's the scoop:
Of all the announcements made over the past few weeks, none is as welcome as Lady Gaga's unofficial announcement via Instagram yesterday that she'll be releasing a new single, Perfect Illusion. It's been a long, long time since Gaga has put out anything her Little Monsters could sink their teeth into, Her last pop record, 2013's ARTPOP, was lackluster in comparison to her previous efforts, though there were some bright spots on that album. In between, Gaga's been busy with other projects, getting her acting on in FX's American Horror Story (the new season, starring Gaga premieres September 14th) and showed her vocal range on an album of standards, called Cheek to Cheek, with the legendary Tony Bennett.
It'll be interesting to see where she goes with this new project. All that is known so far about the new project is that she's worked with celebrated producers Mark Ronson, BloodPop, Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, Giorgio Moroder, RedOne, Diane Warren, and Nile Rodgers, The album is said to be a mix of "classic music and futuristic music" and is partially inspired by the singer's time on AHS. For whatever it's worth, I am so looking forward to this one! Perfect Illusion is to be released sometime in September and the album, dubbed LG5, should be out soon after. Read more below:
This coming October/November, we will be treated to the newest set from Kay Perry. The record will be her first since 2013's stellar Prism album. Though the singer put out a new song, Rise, for the Olympics, don't expect too many Firework-type anthems like this one on the new set. The singer told 97.1 Amp Radio that she's doing a lot of experimenting and taking chances this time around. That's welcome news indeed, as I felt she did some of that to great success on Prism and I am looking forward to hearing new stuff dishing on her tiff with Taylor Swift and relationship with Orlando Bloom. We shall see. Take a closer look into Katy Perrys new album below:
Fans of Britney Spears, like this blogger, are already jumping for joy at the prospect of a new album. Her last record, Britney Jean, can be classified as lackluster at best, especially following the energetic and delicious Femme Fatale record. Well, after the release of a mid-tempo gem called Make Me, the sultry vixen has been teasing us with new tracks from her upcoming Glory record and they're kinda sorta all over the map. Private Show is another mid tempo-ey pop song, while Clumsy is vintage Britney dance floor sugar, and the latest glimpse into Glory, Do You Wanna Comer Over, is culled a new anthem to the catchphrase Netflix and Chill. The singer is set to perform at MTV's VMA's for the first time in ten years at Madison Square Garden in New York this Sunday and Glory drops...tomorrow. Yes! Here's Make Over...
Glory Glory Hallelujah - P!nk Returns
Last, but certainly not least, after a four-year hiatus since the release of one of my all-time favorite albums, The Truth About Love, P!nk is said to be releasing a set of new material sometime in November. Very little is out there on the record, and I'll bet the singer/songwriter is under a lot of pressure to match the greatness of the last album, but this is the one I am looking forward to the most. I can't wait! Stay tuned...
What a long way she's come! Ha ha, just watching and listening to Britney Spears' debut single is kinda fun. It brings back so many memories and I admit I never would have predicted just how big she would become from this one song. It's funny that even though the tune is pretty primitive compared to the sound she has today, she did start out as a little vixen. Check out Baby One More Time...
Our new music weekend continues with a long-awaited new song from Britney Spears. It's been quite awhile since Ms. Britney has made any kind of a splash on the music scene. Her previous effort, Britney Jean, didn't really make much noise outside of the circle of her devoted fan base, and Femme Fatale, my personal favorite Britney album, is a whopping five years old already. This new tune has already received a lot of buzz since its release on Friday, and to me it's a surprisingly mid-tempo tune (I would have expected a more energetic dance record) that's pretty darned memorable. It's got a great melody and is pretty easy to keep it in your head long after a listen. Check out Make Me for yourself...
Here's my favorite Britney song for your Hump Day. I was a little surprised and upset that she did no songs from Femme Fatale in her medley performance at last week's Billboard Music Awards, especially this one. Cause it's all about dancing...
Been listening to a lot of Britney Spears lately and here's one I've had on repeat...one of my favorites from Femme Fatale and a great song for Hump Day.
Happy August everybody! Yes, summer may be half over, but there's still plenty to come. Here's a classic Britney jam to start off your Saturday. Enjoy...
Here comes a tune that's surely going to get lots of airplay this summer. Yes, the new collaboration between Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea has officially leaked on to the Internets yesterday and it's just what you might expect from two singers as sassy as these. Check it out on directlyrics and let me know what you think.
Since Britney made headlines this week for falling down during her show in Vegas on Wednesday night (see TMZ), I figured I'd give her props and a big get well with a Flashback Friday Britney post. The singer hurt her ankle pretty badly in the accident and she's been forced to cancel two shows this weekend to rest it. So even though she can't dance right now, what's to stop all of us from doing so...
Interesting collaboration, great song! That's my first impression of this energetic, neo-disco tune that's got 1978 written all over it. Moroder, who is famous for his work back in the day with the likes of the legendary Donna Summer, is preparing to release a new album soon, his first in 30 years, featuring guest vocals from the likes of Britney Spears, Mikky Ekko, Sia, Charli XCX and more. This one, featuring the great Kylie Minogue makes for a great opener! The track is already available on iTunes, so check that out after the vid...
