Britney Spears is inching closer to the release of her big comeback album and the drum beat of hype is reaching a notable roar. The album cover was released this weekend, and the circus, the album itself, is due to hit the shops on Dec 2nd, her birthday.
If you think the pop tart is washed up, think again. The first single from the album "womanizer", broke records when it jumped to the top of the charts after it's release last month.
Britney, who went with a brunette hair look (when she wasn't shaving her head), is up to her blonde ways again on the new cover. Suprisingly, she's going with a pretty soft, sexy look. She has long flowing blonde locks an an equally flowing dress that is sensual but not slutty.
There's none of the hardcore leather and latex that characterized some of her pre-rehab performances. But don't judge an album by it's cover. In her "Womanizer" video Britney was up to her old stuff, including some pretty provocative semi-nude poses in what looks like a sauna.
Heres the track list:
1. Womanizer
2. Circus
3. Out From Under
4. Kill The Lights
5. Shattered Glass
6. If U Seek Amy
7. Unusual You
8. Blur
9. Mmm Papi
10. Mannequin
11. Lace And Leather
12. My Baby
13. Bonus Track: Radar Remix
From the looks of it, Britney will be up to more of her old tricks. "Lace And Leather" and "Kill The Lights" definiatly are suggestive. Wonder, too, how "Lace And Leather" might compare with Fleetwood Mac's classic "Leather And Lace?" And how about "Mmm Papi?" What's that all about?
The next single to drop "Circus", should hit the internet in the next week or so. According to Spear's official website, the song is an up-tempo track produced by Dr.Luke and Benny Blanco. She has obviously spared no expense on songwriting and producing talent!
