Track And Treat
Britney Spears's new song Gimme More hit the airwaves and the InterWeb all at about the same time yesterday afternoon (5pm PT/8pm ET) and then proceeded to spread like wildfire (click HERE to hear it if, by some crazy chance, you've yet to hear it). I'm fairly certain that not many people had faith that her new music would be any good (Mona Lisa, anyone?) but I had complete faith that the new stuff would rule. Despite all the crazy drama that has been going on in her personal life, she has been wisely paired with very talented folks that would ensure that her new music would be hot. At the time of posting, Britney's official personal website at BritneySpears.com has not been updated or changed at all ... but her official label website at Britney.com has been changed a bit with a simple flash ani that plays a loop of the chorus of Gimme More, with the promise of a new site soon. Her new album, it has been announced and the title of which we're still not privy to, will be released on November 13th:
Britney Spears's long-awaited comeback single, "Gimme More," has finally arrived, and Jive records tells PEOPLE exclusively that the album is scheduled for a Nov. 13 release. The club-friendly dance track officially premiered Thursday night on New York radio station Z-100's Web site ... "The track that leaked is off of Britney Spears's forthcoming album. The song is "Gimme More," produced by Danja, [and is] written by Nathaniel "Danjahands" Hills, James Washington, Keri Hilson, Marcella Araica," a Jive Records spokesperson told PEOPLE. The song features the pop star's signature breathy vocals, melodic electronic bleeps over a driving beat and a catchy hook that's is true to the song's title. Spears opens the sexy and sassy tune by defiantly saying, "It's Britney, bitch", and producer Hills ends it in a shout out, saying, "Bet you didn't see this coming." On Wednesday, news of the single's imminent release, which comes from the singer's fifth studio album, was reported by Entertainment Weekly. The song is hot and very infectious. I think it's the perfect song to launch her much awaited (and prayed for) comeback.
