If U Seek Amy

Single Release0 Comments

Spears releases her single, If U Seek Amy, from her album, Circus. The Parents Television Commision is angered that the song is getting airplay due to its content. PTC president Tim Winters voices his opinion:

There is no misinterpreting the lyrics to this song, and it’s certainly not about a girl named Amy. It’s one thing for a song with these lyrics to be included on a CD so that fans who wish to hear it can do so, but it’s an entirely different matter when this song is played over the publicly owned airwaves, especially at a time when children are likely to be in the listening audience.

Radar

Single Release0 Comments

Spears releases her single, Radar, from her album, Blackout. Director Dave Meyers about Spears:

She was in a really good head-space and open to trying new things, and I wanted to try some new things with her too. It kind of was a great celebration of trusting one another. … Now we’re sort of both seasoned in our own rights, so it’s like two people coming back together, trying to do something fresh and new … seeking out an actual different technique and stylistic choices and trying to find a form to celebrate them in.

Break the Ice

Single Release0 Comments

Spears releases her single, Break the Ice, from her album, Blackout. One of the songwriters, Keri Hilson, tells about the single:

It’s about two people, a girl and a guy,and the girl is saying, ‘You’re a little cold. Let me warm things up and break the ice.’ Here, Spears’ breathy vocals are layered, so that she’s singing, ‘Hot hot hot — ahh,’ on top of the chorus, and stopping the song à la Janet Jackson to say, ‘I like this part. It feels kind of good.’

I’m a Slave 4 U

Single Release0 Comments

Spears releases her single I’m a Slave 4 U from her album Britney.

We’re in Los Angeles shooting my first single off my new album. It’s basically saying, “I’m a slave for the music.” Like, when you go into a club, you can’t help yourself; you’re enraptured in it. When I go to a club, I can’t just sit there and chit-chat. I’d much rather be on the dance floor, just dancing. And that’s what the song’s talking about.

There was another catsuit, actually, which was fantastic, which I loved, and the night before, I was told that Britney hired this guy that worked with Michael Jackson. And so we’re going to use that catsuit. So that’s the catsuit.
