To be honest, the fact I'm completely hungover right now might affect my judgement.
"How I Roll", "Inside Out", "Trip To Your Heart" & "Cirminal" are currently giving me life tho !
F E M M E F A T A L E
Till The World Ends :
This song is awesome. One of my favourite single she ever released.
It put me in a good mood and cheers me up. I'm aware it's not a masterpiece and it's completely unoriginal yet Britney's swagger & charm seal the deal ! 8/10
Hold It Against Me:
The upgraded version of "Shattered Glass". The soft & delicate chorus is amazing.
Besides she sounds really confident all the way through. The dubstep break is probably one of the most daring thing ever done in pop music these past few years. 8,5/10
Inside Out:
One of the greatest song ever recorded in music history. The organic & oriental undertones take the track to another level. Also, Britney's interpretation is flawless.
People always give her hell for the way she sings but what she did on this track is sheer genius.
It's really the kind of song you can easily get lost into and it's quite an emotional rollercoaster. 12/10
I Wanna Go:
At first I didn't like it that much but it's really fun & could have easily fitted on
Confessions On A Dancefloor. The urge to escape is well conveyed. It's still growing on me. 7/10
How I Roll:
The perfect experimental Robyn influenced song to chill out and drink these teq paf.
I love the peaceful and "I don't give a f*ck vibe". It's Britney's "Glamorous".
The production is really precise but still gives a minimalist feel to it. I'm in love with this album.
We're gonna get married soon: cofee2: 9,5/10
(Drop Dead) Beautiful:
It seems to a fan favourite but for me it's just good. Maybe because it reminds of so many others songs. It's the kind of song I can see being used by the fashion world.
Nothing else I can say. 6,5/10
Seal It With A Kiss:
Being the stan for "Amnesia" that I am, I never forgave the
Circus ****ery, that is to say putting as a bonus track one the best thing she has ever recorded.
This song kind of make up for their sacrilegious actions.
It's a modern fairytale with a 60s influenced beat and a refreshing innocence.
Once again, Britney's impersonation of this old school trend is spot on.
I'm sure she was in a girls band
à la Chordettes, Ronettes or Shirelles in one of her past life.
She ain't fooling anyone...
It's probably the childish side of me that takes over when listening to it but it only shows how good this song is.
Very, very effective. 9/10
Big Fat Bass:
This song is so panned right now. I feel bad for it ! LMAO
Well, I tend to like what everyone dislike so it's no surprise I love this collaboration.
Keep in mind Mmm Papi is one of my favourite Britney song...
The biggest quality in there is how awkward it sounds, there's always different elements cluctching the track. I think the song is gonna destroy the dancefloor all around the world.
And that robotic man voice uttering "The Femme Fatale" gets me everytime ! 8/10
Trouble For Me:
The House music gem of the album.The vocal delivery is once again the sh*t.
Perfect song to listen before a night out. I won't comment any further, the whole thing speaks, for itself. 8,5
Trip To Your Heart :
Britney is the best at pulling songs like this one.
Her soothing tone does wonders in this album cut. It's a dreamlike work of art.
It's "And Then We Kiss" meets "Heaven On Earth" meets "Trouble" but ten times better . Mere words are not enough to do this track justice. I feel like I'm in heaven while listening to it.11/10
Gasoline
When the music goes up and the sun goes down lightning strikes and I'm on the ground.
Who else ?
9/10
Criminal
Femme Fatale's most experimental song . It sounds strange as if
American Life &
Zelda were rolled together yet it suits her really well so I expect her to do another track like this one in the future. Needless to say of course that Britney's singing strikes all the right chords.
So much that I feel sad while listening to it.
10,5/10
What more can I say about this gem ?
Well,
Blackout is probably crying on a corner right now because
Femme Fatale just joined him as Britney's best album.
I still adore
Circus tho' and think some of her best work to date come from it.
There's no real filler and I think it's the first time for her.
Femme Fatale marks a qualitative landmark.
Max Martin & Dr Luke knew they couldn't mess this up and they didn't.
I apologize for doubting them.
kidding sis?
i Did!!!
nice try, both epic
