Will.i.matter as exec producer was a mistake. Britny cannot pull off a stripped back sound at all-maybe for one or two songs but not for a whole album. Her voice is too unbearable. She needs to be overproduced. You would think he would understand this.
That's the appeal of her music. The heavy production, bass-heavy dance beats. With stripped back production, the attention is all on her voice which is never a good thing.
