David: Sweet. People won’t know this now but they will when we put this out…you’re working on the new Britney album.
Elijah: Yeah.
David: Congratulations, that’s seriously epic. Being renown for your work with Urban acts, how much of that sound can we expect to hear on the project.
Elijah: I think her fans will be surprised by it. I would say its definitely the ‘unexpected’ Britney in so many ways, in that she’s playing with new textures and stomping on new grounds and genres.
It’s still shaping up so I wouldn’t wanna say too much, but I do wanna offer up some new melodic rhythms and flow to the top line.
From talking to her she’s definitely trying to push the envelope this time- and really talk from a more personal point of view and with Rodney Jerkins by her side I’m hella excited. You’re talking about Darkchild, the guy who changes music over and over again and never runs out of ideas.
This album is gonna be crazy! I write from a more cerebral place I would say. My lyrics are more like a conversation or a thought process, I want people to hear my songs and think honesty.. I’d love to share that with her as well. She’s so cool and down to earth and she gives off so much confidence that writing with her is easy.
