Last night we FINALLY got confirmation that Hold It Against Me, the first single from Britney Spears‘s new album (due out in March), will be released next week (WOOT!) and today we are hearing a lot more information about her album as a whole. The New York Post is reporting all sorts of news about which producers worked on Britney‘s new album and if the report turns out to be correct, I think we are in for one HELL of an amazing new album from our dear Britney.
Britney Spears is slowly leaking news on her upcoming album (rumored to be dropping in March), and it’s stuffed with some of the best European music makers on the planet. Here is a run-down of the production geniuses whispered to be teaming up with Brit Brit. The most recent name reportedly working on new Brit beats is the production team Xenomania — they’ve baked up hits for Pet Shop Boys, Cher and Kylie Minogue as well as more than 20 major British bands who, if we named, you’d be all, “huh?” Then we have William Orbit, who worked with the UK girl group All Saints on tracks like “Pure Shores” (the only US hit) as well as “Black Coffee” and “Dreams.” He also primed tracks like “Spiral” for another gal gang, the uber-famous Sugababes. But look for his hand to deliver Britney a single that will pull from the up-tempo hit “Feel Good Time” that he and P!nk supplied for the “Charlie’s Angels 2” soundtrack. Next up is English producer Fraser T. Smith, who’s had major success in the U.S., working on Taio Cruz’s No.1 single “Break Your Heart.” Other recent successes — Ke$ha’s “Dirty Picture”, Pixie Lott’s “Boys and Girls” and four-tracks off Cee-Lo’s newest CD “Lady Killer” — promise that Fraser and Britney have all the ingredients to deliver more than brilliant beats. Jessie J, who’s written hits for Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Ke$ha will join Britney’s team as well as English producer Rusko, who brings the dubstub sounds that peppered discs from Santogold and M.I.A. last year. These two, more predictable dance makers, as well Labyrinth — who’s the only non-talent signed artist on Simon Cowell’s record label Syco — will give this album some filler singles, hinting a more “Blackout” and less “Circus” style album. But the most surprising producers I came across on Brit’s hitmaker list are Livvi Franc, who produced R&B-esque jams for Michael Jackson and electronic DJ duo Chase & Status, who are mostly know for their UK dance tracks and club-sets. Both should offer up the spice and surprise we are used to getting from Ms. Spears, rounding out a pretty brilliant sounding team.
Holy shizz!! If even half of this report turns out to be true … wow … Britney‘s next album will truly be a monster hit. Britney has never shied away from trying out new sounds and taking her music in exciting new directions. Teaming up with this collection of producers doesn’t surprise me in the least … and it excites me TO THE MAX! This report from the NYP claims that Hold It Against Me will be released on January 3 but we already know from Entertainment Weekly that the song won’t drop until the 7th … so on that account, they are wrong. Here’s hoping the rest of their report isn’t wrong … cuz if true, this is the album that I would LOVE to have Britney release.
