Femme Fatale review by xChunk:
Sexy, catchy, fresh yet intense and most of all cohesive. - Those are some words that come to my mind when trying to describe Britney's 7th studio album. From the first second the beat of Till The World Ends gets started to the last ten seconds of the unique Criminal the whole album flows like no other album. It's mostly a party album, fun and dancey, but on the inside I can see a deeper context behind it.
Femme Fatale stands for a mysterious and seductive woman, whose charms ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistible desire, often leading them into compromising, dangerous and deadly situations.
1. Till The World Ends: This is the first time that the first single is not the first song on the album. It's the second single and there couldn't be a better opener to lead into this exciting 12-track ear-gasm ride. The song instantly captures you with the infectious beat and her mesmerizing voice. 10/10
2. Hold It Against Me: Suddenly there comes this even harder beat then TTWE and makes you already feel like you're in a club. My reaction when hearing this song was just smiling. It's a great song to listen to and once you've listened to that song more than once it doesn't let you go. A great first single, but there's so much better songs that has yet to come. 10/10
3. Inside Out: That song is perfect from beginning to end. Her voice is strong and almost bossy, so I really like the energy of that song. In comparison with the other songs it's more of an album track that is fantastic for the flow of the album, but wouldn't be that great as a single. 10/10
4. I Wanna Go: Hopefully the third single of the album. It's just catchy as hell and would be a fantastic song for the summer. 10/10
5. How I Roll: This song could be written and recorded by Robyn. It has this swedish flair to it, is nice to listen to, but can't keep up with the other songs of the album. Her voice reminds me of her beginning years, especially in the verses, though. 8/10
6. (Drop Dead) Beautiful: What a powerful song! I'm totally in love with it, especially with the hook. Sabi's verses are good, but they're just the icing on the cake. Great song and definitely single material. 10/10
7. Seal It With A Kiss: It's a good track and just as catchy as the other songs, but I think it isn't as strong as the other songs. Still really enjoyable to listen to and a pleasure to my ears. 8/10
8. Big Fat Bass: At first I wasn't interested in that song when I heard it features Will.I.Am. This is definitely the surprise hit of the album. It's the longest track and gives me summer chills. I can already smell the beach and the cocktails when listening to it. The song has a really european flair to it, what I really love and could be played in a disco the way it is and I could imagine myself dancing to it. 10/10
9. Trouble For Me: That song takes more than one listen to love it like I do now. Really catchy tune and her voice turns me on, even though of her use of auto-tune. 10/10
10. Trip To Your Heart: It's not my cup of tea. You really need to be in the right mood for this song. But it's an interesting beat and good lyrics. I think that this song won't grow old so fast and gets better with each listen. 8/10
11. Gasoline: IMO, the standout of the album. Hopefully the fourth single of the album. Toxic on steroids. Perfect production, great vocals (the falsetto
) and witty lyrics. I like. 10/10
12. Criminal: The album closer has a mysterious beat, I love her vocals on this, but I would've expected something different. The track could've been a bit longer, but I think it's the same as with Trip To Your Heart. 9/10
Overal Rating: 9.5/10
I seriously think this will come out as the Album of the Year 2011, because I can totally say that it's one of Britney's best work along with Blackout. I'm really stanning for her this Era and I'm starting to think that no matter what she touches, it's going to be epic. Although she has no writing credits on the album, I can feel that she was really involved in the whole process and she sings every song with conviction. I'm really stunned. The bitch is back!
she's back.
At least she's not walking.....
