new britney spears - freakshow 

So we all know that as a person she is a total wreck, but Brit Brit is going to surprise you with her new album, the ridiculously titled Blackout.

If you like and appreciate good pop music, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how well this album was produced. It's fun, it's catchy, and it's definitely tongue-in-cheek. The fact that she's lost her mind hasn't deterred the world's best producers (Danja Hills, Timbaland, Bloodshy & Avant, among others) from making some really great tracks with the pop shart.

Freakshow, buried somewhere near the middle of the 12-track disc, is one of the few tracks that didn't leak in some form before the album began streaming on VH1's website. If you search hard enough, you'll be able to find most of the tracks online now, plus a handful of tracks that didn't make the cut.

I'm glad that some gems (like this one) didn't make it to my ears until recently. The booming bass and cutesy rhyming is very reminiscent of Robyn's most recent album. It's overtly sexual, but it definitely doesn't take itself too seriously. The album is almost entirely made up of up-tempo, synthy-deliciousness like this.

She may be completely bat-shit, but the girl hasn't lost her ability to create (or at least fund and promote) some really good pop music.
