Hopefully she starts soon!!! We will have none of that Ciara promotion when nothing is done until after the CD releases.

Britney Spears’ new single “Hold It Against Me” made it’s official premiere today, and to say that it’s already made a huge impact would be an understatement. In less than 24 hours the song has already broken a radio record, become a trending topic on Twitter, knocked out website servers from the online traffic it’s attracted, and shot up iTunes charts around the globe at an alarmingly fast rate.
But, is it actually any good?
The answer is yes. Oh God yes.
Once again, Spears has re-teamed with the lethal combination of Max Martin and Dr. Luke, who have spent their time crafting chart topping hits for Ke$ha, Katy Perry and Usher while Britney has, for the most part, stayed under the radar. For the superstar’s comeback, Luke and Max set out to create something “harder” sounding, with a more electronic edge in order to fit in with current dance trends, but don’t get it twisted — this isn’t some derivative dance knock-off like “California Gurls” was to “TiK ToK”. “Hold It Against Me” may be mainstream, but it’s far from generic.
The first thing that strikes you with “Hold It Against Me” is that there’s no real hook, at least not in the beginning. After opening with a pumping bassline and grating, metallic production, the song ascends into a ****-teasing pre-chorus with a cheeky double entendre, “If I said I want your body now, would you hold it against me?” Then just when you think Britney’s about to explode into a stuttery chorus à la “Poker Face”, “We R Who We R” or even “Womanizer”, “Hold It Against Me” zooms right back into that same grating beat, only this time it’s even louder and grittier than before.
Enter the second verse, where Britney continues singing about chasing down some elusive hunk in a nightclub with that unique mix of bold sexual prowess and sad vulnerability that’s always made her voice so special. The same pre-chorus starts, everything looks like it’s running according to schedule, and then BAM — the bottom of the song falls out, Britney starts speaking in a British accent, and before you know it “Hold It Against Me” has descended into a cataclysmic, dubstep breakdown and Spears’ is smackin’ her lips and demanding her potential lover to “pop it like a hood”. Throw in a brief sprinkling of 90′s euro rave synths, a thundering bass break, and then the real chorus begins. Britney’s back to asking you to hold it against her again, but this time she’s backed by the booming machine gun beats that were absent in the previous pre-hooks and everybody’s waving their glow sticks in the air like it’s New Years Eve 1999 all over again.
There’s really no predictable formula on “Hold It Against Me” — it grows and evolves like a living organism. In fact, it’s so real that Team Britney have virtually mapped out the structure of the song to make it the musical equivalent of sex: You start off at a steady pace, things start getting hotter and more intense but you can’t climax too soon, just like in the pre-chorus, but before too long things have gotten so passionate that you lose yourself and enter those truly explosive moments before the main event. I don’t think I need to explain the last part where the beat finally kicks in, do I?
“Hold It Against Me” may be radio-friendly, but for anybody to say that it’s a derivative knock-off must be crazy. There are no pseudo self-empowerment messages here, no gimmicky publicity stunts or delusions of artistic grandeur. It’s just Britney being Britney, as she’s always done. It’s pop, it’s sexy, it’s insanely addictive, there’s frickin’ dubstep, Britney pronounces “hazy” as “hay-zay” and then speaks in British accent. Seriously, how much more Britney can you get?
“Hold It Against Me” is Britney Jean Spears in 2011, and whether people like it or not, it’s a hit. This woman has changed with the times, rolled with the punches and stayed ahead of the pack for 12 years and counting, and unlike every other pop star out today, she doesn’t need gimmicks, glitz, or glamor to keep her crown in place — just good music. Britney is Britney, “Hold It Against Me” is about to take over the world, and the Queen is back, bitch!
4.5/5
