14 DAY TRIAL // Britney Spears’ latest album, “Femme Fatale,” doesn’t drop in stores until March 29 but, by now, many fans have already listened to it since it leaked in its entirety over the weekend. Still, it’s two songs off it that are causing quite a fuss.
After “Hold It Against Me,” which is the only one to have been released officially and “Till the World Ends,” which leaked a few days ago, fans are treated to more material off Britney’s album.
Idolator says that the entire album has leaked online. “Big Fat Bass” and “I Wanna Go” are the talk of the town as we speak, proving that Spears can still deliver a solid and catchy dance sound.
“Big Fat Bass” is a collaboration with Will.i.am and, as the aforementioned e-zine notes, it’s nothing like most of the songs from the Black Eyed Peas.
In other words, it sounds amazing in the club but it can become very annoying if you listen to it repeatedly, when you’re not out partying, because it’s too repetitive and autotuned.
“‘Big Fat Bass’ has all the strengths and weaknesses of your average Black Eyed Peas tune – it’s catchy but repetitive, danceable with pretty inconsequential lyrics, and has the potential to become annoying if played too frequently,” Idolator writes.
“It reminds us of a good number of past BEP tracks, to the extent that it might as well be called ‘Brit Brit Pow.’ Sure, we like it – but we think the album has stronger offerings,” the same e-zine notes.
“I Wanna Go,” on the other hand, is much better for being more of a Britney song than the other. A fast-paced track as well, it also features naughty lyrics and a sound that is bound to stick with you even after it’s over.
“‘I Wanna Go” seems like a less divisive track that pretty much anyone can get into and is a better demonstration of Femme Fatale’s sound overall,” Idolator writes.
“It’s full of lyrics that only sound dirty once you really start thinking about them, and Britney’s vocal delivery of ‘Shame on me’ is exactly reminiscent of the just-a-little-naughty kitten vibe that made her famous in the first place,” adds the e-zine.
In other words, “I Wanna Go” could easily become Britney’s next “Toxic”-like hit. Check out both tracks below and see for yourself.
