 A Stellar Release From Britney Spears December 2, 2007
35 out of 47 found this review helpful
It's been 4 years since pop tabloid sensation Britney Spears has released a solo CD. "Blackout" marks Britney's return to the pop music world. The first single released from "Blackout," was the club friendly track "Gimme More." Radio loves the single and it's proof that Britney is definitely back in the music industry. "Blackout" is a mix of electronica, R&B and club tracks. On the song, "Piece of Me," Britney declares that she has been the American Dream since she was 17. The song could easily be a radio single as Britney fights back at the tabloids.
"Break The Ice," is a melodic club friendly song that will strike a chord with Britney's audience. Fans of her third album, "In The Zone," will appreciate this song about meeting a new love interest. "Heaven On Earth," is an electronica inspired fast paced song.
Britney, who is now 25 years old, definitely shows off her adult side on "Blackout." Song's on the songs "Get Naked," and "Freakshow."
The songs on "Blackout," have powerful tracks and Britney's vocals are very melodic and sometimes hypnotic. People who thought Britney might come back with a sad CD because she just went through a divorce are all wrong.
Britney addresses her personal life on the Neptune's produced song "Why Should I Be Sad." Britney is a survivor and isn't letting her personal life or the tabloid drama that follows her from stopping anything.
Britney brought her "A" game to "Blackout." The upbeat tracks will keep people on the dance floor for hours and are sure to be popular with fans both old and new. When listening to "Blackout," you can hear that Britney has been inspired by artists such as Madonna, and Pet Shop Boys.
Production-wise Britney can't lose on "Blackout" as she works with some of the top music producers in the industry. "Blackout" features production from super-hot producer Danja, who has produced for Justin Timberlake, Bloodshy and Avant, and The Neptunes.
Stand out tracks on Blackout include the first single "Gimme More," "Break The Ice," "Piece of Me," "Heaven on Earth," and "Why Should I Be Sad."
 Britney's spears talent... October 30, 2007

When did media attention start to equal actual talent? Because if that's how we measure talent these day then yes, Britney Spears, as well as Justin Timberlake for example, are probably the most talented people around. What solid production can do for an album is shown here. I'm not saying that it's a bad album but that it's definitely not Britney's talent that shines here but that of the producers.

Trick or treat with Britney Spears! Britney pops up just in time for Halloween with "Blackout," not only is this her first studio CD in 4 years but it's also one of her very best yet! Her voice sounds perfect on all of the tracks; much more mature and grown-up than on prior CD's. The lyrics are strong because on this record Britney has a lot more to say. She's not the girl next-door anymore. No, this Britney is strong and in control and doesn't need any man to tell her what to do! Besides the lead single, Gimme More, I also love "Peace of Me" and "Hot As Ice" because she sounds so amazing on these tracks. Admit it you know you like her. Or, just like everyone else you're fascinated with her and can't get enough of Britney. There's something about Britney that manages to constantly draw people to her. It's like Britney is a satellite that transfers light to millions of people all over the world through her musical energy!

I think it's important to point out the difference between Britney Spears the woman and Britney Spears the product. Britney the woman is clearly troubled; her recent meltdowns widely documented and talked about. But with "Blackout", it's clear that Britney the woman's well-being isn't essential to the continuing success of Britney the product. All that was clearly necessary to create a slick, entertaining pop album for Britney the product was for Britney the woman to be able to get it together enough times over the past two years to come into the studio and lay down some vocals ... and let the army of songwriters, producers and recording engineers do the rest.
There is much to be enjoyed in "Blackout" if you're a pop music fan (and I am). It's full of sexy, glitzy, dizzying musical candy. If Britney had made an album that reflected her current real emotional state, it would probably sound something like Courtney Love's last album. But "Blackout" continues the fantasy life of Britney the product, who has grown from sexy, coy teenage nymphet to full-fledged glamazon temptress, now enjoying her sexuality with complete abandon.
Overhyped, overratted garbage - buy music from a real artist, instead, like David Gray or The Killers November 14, 2007

People still line up for this mindless, pre-fabricated junk? Wow, we've come a long way.
Instead of supporting these celebrity-only types (read lack of talent), why not buy music from a real artist or band? Go support Wilco, The Killers or any number of the other deserving acts out there, and please, enough of Britney Spears and the celebrity types ...
