Editorial Reviews :
Where Britney Spears's first two albums hewed to the early-'60s formula of one strong single plus a stack of filler--a fair bit of which ended up on the radio anyway--her third justifies itself as a full-length listen. Led by the single 'I'm a Slave 4 U,' a Neptunes-helmed piece of electrofunk that promises she'll do anything you want as long as it's dancing, the album continues through superior versions of Spears's poses. Calculated frustration with the adult world? Calculated independence? Sheer celebration? Check, check, and check: 'Overprotected,' 'Let Me Be,' and a cover of 'I Love Rock & Roll' that brings to mind its bubblegum roots. Even without the joyous disco tribute of 'Anticipating' and the not-icky ballad 'I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman' providing symbolic respite from the rest of this machine-tooled music, Britney is one of the most human discs of the current teen-pop boom. If it spins off the deserved string of radio/video smashes, it may even buy this superstar a second 15 minutes. --Rickey Wright
Buyer Reviews :
The current queen of teen pop music delivers a new CD full of up-tempo, grown-up tunes. Tracks like 'Boys' and 'Anticipating' feature elements reminiscent of 1970's disco if that's your thing; or if you prefer 'edgier' Britney, like on 'Stronger' from her last release, then 'Lonely' and 'Cinderella' may be just for you. The leadoff track and single, 'I'm A Slave 4 You' evokes memories of 'Control'-era Janet Jackson, and the latest release (at the time of this review), 'I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman,' may be the 19-year old diva's finest vocal performance yet. The cover of the Arrows' 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll,' best known as recorded by Joan Jett, is far superior to Miss Spears's earlier covers of Sonny & Cher and Rolling Stones classics. This sort of music isn't my thing; but I actually enjoyed this CD. (...)
