Britney Spears Womanizer - A Music Review



By Shane Bascome

For this writer, listening to Britney Spears' Womanizer single is reminiscent of how good she was back in her prime. This song will induce only two reactions: love or hate it. But I'm pretty sure most will not go for the latter.

It has been a while since we have heard from Britney Spears (aside from the news and Internet posts). With the release of Blackout the album, she announced to the world that she is back after couple of years a roller coaster ride in her personal life. She made it official by appearing at the MTV VMAs where she, unfortunately, sucked.

However, shortly after the release of Blackout, which turned out to be her most unsuccessful album to date, she released the single Womanizer. Frankly speaking, this seemed to redeem her from her horrific performance at the VMAs. The song had the Britney signature. It is funky, danceable, and catchy. All the elements of a Britney hit is included in this single so you'd know that this will be widely received for a long time.

Even though the lyrics were not as deep as one would expect from someone who's been in the business for a long time, they were relatable. Fans will be able to connect to the song because they understand what it is all about: a womanizer who's been found out by the girl he likes. Womanizer, woman-womanizer You're a womanizer Oh womanizer, Oh you're a womanizer baby You, you, you are You, you, you are Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer. Now that he has been outed, the girl would not let him get even to first base. Nikesha Briscoe and Rapheal Akinyemi did a great job penning the words.

In this song, composers have adapted an electro-pop punk feel. This added to the appeal of the single because it's something new and different. However, it would also seem fit if the song stayed true to Britney's signature sound which is bubblegum pop. It would still have the same effect and appeal to the fans.

The record still sounds great nevertheless. One can't deny that this is a hit--a Britney hit. She has her signature all over the record:The lyric, phrasing, the distinctive vocals and tempo.

While most artists would like to come out with new and better songs, Britney seemed to have went back to basics with this song. Even though she has had more mature-sounding (technically and creatively) songs like the Madonna collaboration, Womanizer sounded like what she would record during her first two years in the business. However, it was a good decision because it allowed listeners to see and hear the true Britney Spears.

Womanizer is a great song. Nothing much can be said, really. If you expect a great song from Britney Spears for her upcoming album, then this one really raised the bar.
