It’s Britney Spears Day!

If it’s not officially, it should be. Britney Spears has officially released her new album Femme Fatale and …it’s actually pretty good! I can’t deny it. I went into previewing the album with a somewhat open mind, but only because I didn’t want to get my hopes up. Femme Fatale is a pop album and nothing more. I do, however, appreciate the electronic beats (is that a little dub step I hear?) every now and then. The lyrics are the epitome of any pop song sung by Britney Spears. They typically involve guys, lust, seduction, etc. which is no surprise to us, but it is so damn catchy that you kind of fall in love with it. I don’t feel all that embarrassed singing along to it the way I do when I sing Katy Perry’s “Firework” out loud.

Tomorrow morning, we will see a slough of “live” performances by Britney Spears on Good Morning America and Jimmy Kimmel. It’s been a tough journey for Britney, but it’s nice to see that things are starting to turn around for her. Summer tour, here we come!

I predict that I will be listening to this CD on repeat for at least a week. There are definitely way more songs that I love more than I hate from this album.
