First Single "Womanizer" Is Slated To Hit Radio On September 22nd

Jive/Zomba recording artist Britney Spears announces her sixth studio album, Circus, set for release December 2nd. The first single from the album is titled "Womanizer" and was produced by the up-and-coming Atlanta production team The Outsyders. The album release date coincides with Spears' birthday.

On the heels of an MTV VMA awards sweep, where Britney walked away with three Moonmen awards for "Video of the Year," "Best Female" and "Best Pop Video" for "Piece of Me," Jive Records is preparing her latest album, Circus, a follow-up to her critically well received album, Blackout. For her latest effort, Britney has enlisted a stellar group of established producers/writers that include Dr. Luke (who wrote and produced the album's title track, "Circus"), Danja, Max Martin, Bloodshy & Avant and Guy Sigsworth (Madonna, Alanis Morissette, Bjork).

Britney Spears is one of the top-selling artists of the last decade, and to date, she has sold in excess of 62 million albums worldwide that include Baby One More Time (1999), Oops!...I Did It Again (2000), Britney (2001), In The Zone (2003), and Blackout (2007), eight #1 worldwide singles and four consecutive #1 albums.

The Zomba Label Group consists of record labels Jive, LaFace, Volcano, Verity, GospoCentric and Fo Yo Soul. These labels represent a varied group of artists including Justin Timberlake, R. Kelly, Usher, Tool, Ciara, Chris Brown, Pink, Britney Spears, OutKast, Kirk Franklin, Three Days Grace, 311, Nick Lachey, T-Pain, Byron Cage, Bullet For My Valentine, Buddy Guy, Living Things, Anthony Hamilton, Donnie McClurkin, John P.

I'll try to have an open mind, but if hat song is Womanizer it sounds pretty ordinary and that dance routine is so soulless. Do these moves make any sense? I mean, what's the point in just showing withe very second another hot dance move? It's totally unnatural.

Circus sonds like a cool album title though!

You're judging it solely on a 1:19 clip of a relaxed rehearsal, possibly the song is still a demo.

1:19 is pretty long for a song. If I've heard 1:19 of "Yesterday", "Kiss", "Billie Jean", "Holiday", "Sir Puke" alone I could say they're good songs. But this sounds very average. Or do you find what we hear has much charakter??

graecophilos said:

I think it's almost impossible to judge, it's as low quality as you can get! You can hardly make out any lyrics and once again, it could've been a demo at that stage.

PLUS, it may not even be "Womanizer", no one knows which song this is...

purplesweat said:

okay, the lyrics of a BS song never grabbed my interest and whatever ong it is, it still lacks of a charakter.

graecophilos said:

For the love of god, wait til you've heard the full version!

Ick. I'm not AT ALL excited about this. Can anyone feel what I'm trying to say? Can't her, Beyonce and Timberlake all go away for 3 years all at once?

Seriously....


That being said "Gimme More" is Britney's best ever lead single, and I doubt
anything, let alone something with a cheesy title like "Womanizer" could top
it.

As irritating as Britney and the rest of the brat pack, (Justin, Britney,
and Beyonce) are, I'm glad Britney (seems) to have calmed down and gotten
her life (sorta?) in order.

Gimme More is not a cheesy title?

What's with the uncertainty? What makes you think her life isn't back in order?

Didn't you see her at the VMAs the other day? Who would've thought she'd look THAT good this time last year?

She sees her boys at least 5 times a week now and things are reportedly great between her and Kevin. Her dad no longer lives with her and she made amends with her mother.

I think it's safe to say, everything's okay now. I'm pretty sure the conservatorship will finish at the end of the year.

It's too soon to tell..IMO. I mean, it looks great. But, Britney always
looked good on the outside, and then one day, it all just started going
to hell. I hope, for her sake, and more her kids' sake she stays in
good health, and doesn't get "shady" again, and starting forgetting
underwear and hanging with Paris. (She is hot but damn she is trashy.)

As for the album, I was never much of a Britney music lover - but
some of the fold out pictures in the CD cases were good over the
years.

With "In the Zone" and "Blackout" Britney has done 2 of the best POP/DANCE records of this decade. Thank god she was able to get this album on the fall release schedule because nothing is happening in this genre right now, scary to say, but if you remember a few years back when Bono pronounced "u2 are back to save rock" i think its time for Britney to save POP at least for america.

Britney also told OK! magazine she's been writing every day for this album, so hopefully a lot of her self penned songs make it.

Keri Hilson said she's going for a more "real, organic" sound this time around.

I can't wait!

I truly loved the Blackout album. It's her best and one of the best pop albums of this decade. Dance pop at its best.

Can't wait for Circus.

i never liked britney's cd's until her last one, i think it was really good, and i listened to it alot. good for her!

Ick. I'm not AT ALL excited about this. Can anyone feel what I'm trying to say? Can't her, Beyonce and Timberfake all jump off a pier all at once?

Seriously....
