Naughty Boy: 'Britney Spears album omission was a personal decision'
Quote:
Naughty Boy has explained why his track with Britney Spears didn't make her recent album.
The producer was initially working on material for the US star's latest album Britney Jean, but the song failed to make the final tracklist.
"I would have done it, but the quality would have suffered, as in I didn't have the time," Naughty Boy told Digital Spy at Capital FM's Jingle Bell Ball.
"I want to do a Britney track that's remembered. I don't want to be part of an album that's not really... It was a personal decision more than anything."
He added: "But I'd love to work with Britney, Katy Perry or Ellie Goulding. I love pop music."
Asked if he has plans to hand the track to another artist, he teased: "It's a song I wrote with Emeli [Sandé], so who knows? It could be."
Meanwhile, Spears's eighth studio album Britney Jean landed at number 34 on the UK chart over the weekend.
The follow-up to the best-selling album in the UK in 2012 and the best-selling album in the UK in 2013, Our Version of Events, will be released in 2014.
I really don't get why they have time limits for albums... wouldn't it be better to have an album released a bit later that's of great quality than one that's release quicker that's not the best it could have been? I mean, people had waited since 2011 for a new Britney album, I'm sure they could have waited another few months.
