Britney talks about new album with Rolling Stone

Do your kids like the new record? What have they said about it?


Yes. They definitely dance to it but its kind of funny because they are still confused …. It’s like, ‘who is this Britney Spears singer in contrast to mommy?’

How has your involvement in the record-making process changed over the years?

I have always been heavily involved in every album I have ever made. I’m very stubborn when it comes to recording and will only record songs I love, which is why it takes me a long time to make an album. I have to feel connected before I record and the song has to spark something inside me. Very few songs do that. I guess it’s a good process because I love all of my music. I know there are a lot of artists that hate songs they recorded. I don’t feel that way.

What was your idea for the overall sound of this album?

I wanted to make a fresh-sounding album for the clubs or something that you play in your car when you’re going out at night that gets you excited but I wanted it to sound different from everything else out right now. I also wanted to experiment with all the different types of music I love which is why you hear a mixture of pop, hip-hop and dance throughout the album. I also really wanted to play with my voice and change up my sound here and there which was really fun.

You hear traces of some real cutting-edge dance music on the album – for instance, the dubstep break on “Hold It Against Me.” How do you find new sounds?

I listen to a lot of different music from all over the world and I guess I just gravitate towards what sounds fresh and what makes me want to move. I really didn’t want to record anything on this album that could be mistaken for anyone else out there. I think my first two singles, “Hold It Against Me” and “Till The World Ends,” sound completely different from anything else and I think when my fans hear the rest of Femme Fatale they’ll see how fresh every song is.

Do you still go out to clubs? What kind of dance music do you like?

I don’t go out that much anymore but when I do, I definitely like to go out and dance. I’m a big vibe person when it comes to music so a song really has to make me feel a certain way in order for me to fall in love with it. I love hard pounding dance songs with really beautiful melodies over them. Those are my favorites.

What kind of music do you listen to at home?

I love the Peas but I also love Deadmau5. I guess I’m all over the place. Lately I have been listening to Robyn and Adele non-stop but I also love to find new artists that very few people know about. It’s one of my favorite things to do because it’s like being part of a secret. Friends and people around me are always showing me new artists that they love and that’s how I learned about Sabi and ended up working with her on “(Drop Dead) Beautiful.” I have always wanted to feature a new artist on one of my albums and she is really cool.

What led to your collaboration with willi.am? What was it like working with him?

The Peas make incredibly catchy, fun pop/dance records and I LOVE will.i.am’s style. I have always wanted to do a song with him and would love to work with him more in the future. He is so interesting.

Dr. Luke has become a big-name producer in his own right since your last album – is it different working with him now?

Not really. We have known each other for a really long time. Most people don’t know this but we actually worked together when I was recording “Blackout.” He was incredible back then and he has only gotten better over the years.

Dr. Luke said last fall that “I want [the sound] to get harder in some ways, and maybe a little more deep into electronic — grimier.” Did you have that same agenda for the album? Do you feel like you accomplished that?

When we first sat down to talk about Femme Fatale I knew I wanted to make a dance album that was ahead of everything else out there but unique to me which is why I was so picky with the recording process. I only wanted songs that I immediately connected to. I also wanted to make sure that this album was completely different from Circus or anything else I had ever recorded. I love Circus but I wanted something darker and edgier. I also wanted to make an album and didn’t want to just record a bunch of songs and put them together. I think Femme Fatale is really connected from start to finish.

What is it about Max Martin that makes you so comfortable collaborating with him? How much bigger of a role did he take on this album than he did for “Circus”?

Max played a huge role on this album and he has been there since the beginning so there is such a huge level of trust. He gets exactly what I am saying when I tell him what I want and don’t want musically. His melodies are incredible and he is always coming up with weird sounds, which I love. The whistle on “I Wanna Go” still gets me every time I hear it. Who would have thought of that? There is nobody I feel more comfortable collaborating with in the studio.

How would you characterize the studio relationship between Max and Dr. Luke?

They are two peas in a pod. It’s a total bromance

BREAKING NEWS: New britney spears album coming to you early 2011?! Rumors are swirling!!

Album's co-executive producer Dr. Luke expects new album out by early 2011.
While "Glee" was spot-on in its tribute to Britney Spears in September, it's safe to say her fans are ready for the real deal. The pop princess, who has remained relatively low-key since wrapping up her Circus Tour, is currently working on her new album with a few familiar faces, including producers Dr. Luke and Max Martin.

"She's such an icon, I don't want to let anyone down," Dr. Luke said last week at the Hollywood Reporter/ Billboard Film & TV Music Conference. "But most importantly, I want to make good music."
Luke said that he is anticipating that Britney's album will see an early 2011 release, and a source told THR it would hit stores before March 31.
In addition to Dr. Luke ("Circus") and Martin ("... Baby One More Time"), Darkchild and newcomer Billboard are also said to be working with Spears.
When asked if there were anything else he could reveal about the heavily guarded project, Luke wouldn't say much. "Just that I'm excited to be co-executive producing with Max Martin, the person who kind of invented Britney, and to make good music," he said. "And she's such an amazing vehicle to getting that music out to a lot of people in every country."
With Luke and Martin helming the project, fans may expect to hear Spears sounding like the producers' frequent collaborators Katy Perry and Ke$ha. But there have also been indications that Brit will take a fresher approach. Last month, Spears' manager Adam Leber spoke to Entertainment Weekly about her next album, promising that it will introduce a "progressive" sound from the pop star.
''It'll be a departure from what you've heard,'' he added.

Songwriter/Producer Claude Kelly talks Britney

Claude Kelly, the famed songwriter and vocal producer is currently cooking up new stuff with Britney Spears, but he had time to chat with Us Magazine :

US: You worked with Britney Spears on “Circus”. How was that?
CK: Britney Spears was one of my first experiences with how intense the paparazzi are.
US: Oh yeah. Were they hounding outside?
CK: Literally waiting out there hours before she got there. Because the studio’s kind of a secret place where an artist comes to open up their heart and record songs, you don’t want them to feel insecure. It was intense, but when she got in there, all that went away. We did “Circus” and another song called “Shattered Glass”. She is a true professional: she comes in, knows the song beforehand, and just nails it.

Britney reunites with Dr. Luke & Benny Blanco for new album

The Prophet Blog can exclusively reveal that Britney will be reuniting with producers Dr. Luke and Benny Blanco on her upcoming seventh album. The exact details of the collaboration aren’t known yet, but I hear that Luke is “excited” to be working with the pop princess again.

Luke & Benny both contributed to Britney’s last album Circus, writing and producing the title track, as well as the album cuts “Lace & Leather” and “Shattered Glass”. The pair have since gone on to craft chart topping hits for Katy Perry (“California Gurls”, “Teenage Dream”), Ke$ha (“TiK ToK” and “Your Love is My Drug”) and many others.
Britney is currently on vacation in Hawaii with her beau Jason Trawick, which is exactly what she did right before her Circus album era began. No release date for the album has been announced yet, but all signs are currently pointing towards the end of the year.

Producer/Songwriter Nicole Morier Writing For Britney Again

Lead singer and main writer of the indie electro phenomenon "Electrocute" knows pop music from all angles.

Not too long ago Nicole Morier, a self made producer/songwriter from Los Angeles teamed up alongside Bloodshy & Avant and Greg Kurstin for Britney Spears’ anticipated release "Circus". Morrier employed some of the most tolerable Britney tracks from the last decade and today is working with some of the most-likely-to-succeed musicians of today : Wynter Gordon, Pixie Lott and even the bratty/poppy internet star Sky Ferreira. Now back from a European tour with Charlotte Gainsbourg, Nicole and I chatted about the unreleased Britney sessions, the 90’s and Missy Elliot.
Alex Kazemi : Britney Spears' "Circus" record could be considered as your "love letter" to the music industry. When did you guys first meet and how did you start working on that album?
Nicole Morier : Britney had cut a song of mine, "Heaven on Earth", for her previous album so when it came time for her to start working on the next one, she asked if I’d come in and try writing some songs together with her. Don’t know about a love letter to the music industry though ; I didn’t really think of it that way. If I write a love letter to the music "industry" it might have a few 4 letter words in it. Ha ha !
Kazemi : Haha ! "Circus" has been a huge success on the pop music charts. During Britney's sessions were there any songs that you wish were out right now ? What was your eye of inspiration for those particular tracks you worked on ?
Nicole : There’s a couple songs we started that were great ideas but just incomplete. Maybe we’ll hear them with fresh ears someday and put them out, but I usually just like to start anew. For the tracks we did release the inspiration was doing something different than she had done before. The result was a "60’s surf go-go ode to a sexy lover and a bombastic electro-rock song about flying head-over-heels in to the mystical abyss of love".
Kazemi : I have to ask. Every pop music blog is speculating that you have been working with her again on the seventh album. Can you give us any insight on some of the tracks you did for her ? Reading this might give some people heart-attacks ; everything about that album is so secret and locked up !
Nicole : I don’t want to give anyone a heart attack ; maybe just high blood pressure ! I’m writing songs at this moment and I heard one that she recorded that someone else wrote that sounded amazing. I'm excited to see what she will come up with this time. She always impresses me by how innovative and current she sounds. I can’t promise you’ll see my name on the credits yet, I have to write something worthy first !
Kazemi : A MSTRKRFT vs. Britney track would be in insane. Do you have a favorite song you’ve done so far?
Nicole : I really love "Heaven On Earth", because it’s a very special song for me. Not only was it my first cut and transformed my whole life, but I wrote it from a rather dark place and it was the first time I really wrote something so unmasked and honest. Britney sounds so amazing and Freescha did such a cool production as well.
Kazemi : Do you feel more pressure not to fuck up a song when it’s for Britney, rather than people like Sky who are brand new to the industry and just using your songs as a starting point ?
Nicole : Both are really fun. With an established artist the challenge is to come up with a new angle for them without changing who they are. With a new artist you have to help them distinguish themselves from others and find out what feels the most sincere and help set the stage. I actually started working with Sky long before she had a record deal and I have to admit it was nice when we didn’t have people worrying about record sales and we could just create. Things do become a little different when working with someone who’s got 200 paparazzi chasing them and you're in an expensive studio and there’s a lot of pressure for everyone. You don't want to waste their time or yours, but I work well under pressure. I enjoy it and I never really think of fucking up a song really, it's not possible. Sometimes they just don’t work and you either have to go back to the drawing board or start fresh and sometimes the most fucked up songs are the best.
Kazemi : "Heaven On Earth" was a damn good fuck-up then ! Growing up what kind of music did you listen too ? Does that reflect on the inspiration you get while writing songs today ?
Nicole : I grew up in the 90’s and I liked some of the rock stuff like Nirvana and Jane's Addiction but mostly I’d listen to the oldies station or classic rock. We were in the mountains in New Mexico so it was hard for me to discover anything new and cool. I really like the 80's stuff like Cyndi Lauper and Blondie and the Bangles. I’m sure it all had a big effect on me. Everything effects you as a writer. Probably the biggest influence on me was my dad. He was a musician and songwriter as well (Johnny Morier), and had penned a few minor hits for bands like the Cowsills and Spanky and our Gang. He was part of the 60's folk scene and had been friends and sung with people like Karen Dalton and Joan Baez. He had a very eclectic music taste ; we’d listen to everything from Pucinni to Merle Haggard to The Beastie Boys and enjoy it all. That really opened my world to a variety of styles and taste.
Kazemi : Being your own producer in the studio and your own songwriter, how do you figure out the balance of what a song is suppose to sound like and what the lyrics are supposed to mean to the listener ?
Nicole : I come at music from all angles. A lot of producers these days are the songwriter too. Sometimes I only write the melody and lyric, other days I’ll program a beat and maybe another producer will come up with a song title or help me with melodies. It’s pretty easy to fit the song to a sound or the chords but I really like when you can kind of twist it. A song like "Boys Don’t Cry" from the Cure where there’s danceable beat but melancholic lyrics. I love how Britney can twist a dark lyric like "Womanizer" into an upbeat club anthem.

Perez Hilton talks about Britney's new album



"Actually, I have heard stuff about Britney's new album. I know shes working on music AND Ive actually heard a few songs from Britney's new album and let me tell you, that shit is HOT. Hot hot hot hot hot. Britney has this one song I heard that Im obsessed with. I didnt get a copy of it, it was played for me once, and after just that one listen, I was like 'this is one of her best songs ever!'. Yes, the song is better than anything on Circus, and I love a lot of those Circus tracks. Its as good as Toxic. So I cannot WAIT for Britney to release her album, which will hopefully be next year. Early next year, hopefully."
