Britney Spears Solidifies Her Comeback With Womanizer Single


By Shane Bascome

Listeners can only have two reactions to Britney Spears' Womanizer single. You can either love or hate it. And for this writer, the reaction is definitely not 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.

After the release of Blackout, which turned out to be her most unsuccessful album to date, she released Womanizer, a single from her upcoming album. This song seemed to hit the mark. It has all the elements that make a Britney hit: nice lyric, catchy and funky melody, and upbeat tempo. Fans loved it immediately. Just like the other hits, this one will make you get up and want to dance to its electro-pop feel.

Fans will be able to connect to the song easily. The words, penned by Nikesha Briscoe and Rapheal Akinyemi, were relatable. It tells the story of a womanizer who's trying to score but he's been found out and the girl is not giving him a chance to even reach first base. A lot of young girls will connect to this one. The chorus cannot be any catchier: 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.

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.

And even though a music artist should strive for new and better songs, Britney seemed to have taken a couple of steps back with the way this track sounded (she has had earlier songs that showed signs of a more mature artist like the Madonna collaboration). However, it was a good decision to go back to basics. With Womanizer she was able to solidify her position in the pop scene.

One can't deny the fact that Womanizer is a great song. If you expect a great comeback hit from Britney Spears, then you've got it. Nothing more is needed to be said.
