BRITNEY SPEARS has turned to our home-grown dubstep scene for her comeback single.
Hold It Against Me - her first offering since 2009 hit 3 - is a forward-thinking tune and bang on trend in the current UK music climate.
I'm one of the few UK journalists to have heard the song before its official unveiling tomorrow and have to admit I was impressed and surprised at the same time.
Gerls people saying she didnt experiment...
she has no reason to. This is what she was born to sing and slay with.
She is such a pop icon. A living legend, look but don't touch.
The saucy lines recall an episode of ITV's Take Me Out, but Britney's new single is decent enough

Britney's new single Hold It Against Me – the first from her seventh album, due in March – has become something of an event. Demo versions have already leaked, tweets from Britney have stoked excitement, and her label has said there's only one copy in the UK (although that's just leaked too, so someone may not have a job in the morning).
But what's it like? Over relentless heavy beats and synth whooshes, Britney tries her hand at flirting ("If I said I want your body now, would you hold it against me?"), delivering lines usually reserved for ITV's Take Me Out ("You feel like paradise and I need a vacation tonight"). It trundles along nicely, the sweet vocals contrasting with industrial beats (courtesy of Dr Luke and Max Martin), before the whole thing has a meltdown around the two-minute mark, first throwing in some grimey, dubstep beats (Rusko is rumoured to be helping with the album) and then a smattering of rave chords before the chorus roars up again. Expect Madonna to release a dubstep-influenced album before the year is out.
It's a crime to compare anything to slave, of course it was a disapointment
