Tuntuupa oudolta postata arvioita, kun itselläni ei ole mitään käsitystä siitä, kuinka oikeaan/väärään ne osuvat. Onneksi on enää kaksi päivää odotusta :)
All “Work Bitch” and no play would make Britney a dull bitch. And who wants that? Nobody. So Britney’s back in the game, brushing all the riffraff away from her pop throne. Even though we’re in the middle of a pop-princess pileup this winter, with Miley, Katy, Gaga and more elbowing for room on the dance floor, Britney remains the queen who out-bangs, out-booms, out-bizarres them all.

*** Perhaps the best thing that can be said for Spears’ latest album, in fact, is that it doesn’t seem obsessed with provocation. Britney Jean (*** out of four), streaming now on iTunes a week ahead of its Dec. 3 release, aims to present this modestly talented young woman who has somehow managed to sustain our interest for 15 years as a cool but accessible dance-pop diva — willing to dangle the occasional profanity to keep us alert, but ultimately more into the groove than anything else. As a musical reintroduction, certainly, Britney Jean offers as much grace as anyone could have expected. USA Today
*** Even now, just about to celebrate her 32nd birthday, Britney Spears remains as enigmatic as the Disney-groomed, emotionally insulated teen who greeted us in the late ’90s. It’s part of why we treasure her: The feeling that, even as she sings her most seductive or inventive songs, the real Brit’s off dreaming her unknowable dreams. Britney Jean, which takes its title from her family nickname and has been billed as the most ”personal” of her eight albums, tells you virtually bupkus about her struggles over the years. But in just 10 tidy songs, it brings us closer than ever before to that distant dreamer. EW.com
*** The publicity pitch for 31-year-old Spears’s eighth album, Britney Jean, is that it is her “most personal” to date. The use of her middle name in the title implies familial intimacy, the private self behind the public icon. It would presumably be asking too much to detect either irony or satire in the decision to launch this campaign with a highly effective, stripped-down electro club banger called Work Bitch, in which young women are commanded (in a peculiar fake English accent) to put some serious effort in if they want to “sip Martinis” in “a hot bikini”. Credits reveal that this prostitution anthem involved contributions from six writers, four of whom are male. Telegraph
*** Spears, who has remained one of the famous pop singers in the world more than 15 years after she began her career, attempts to shake things up on “Britney Jean.” She collaborated mostly with producer and “Scream & Shout” duet partner will.i.am. Spears also co-wrote much of the album — a stark contrast to 2011’s “Femme Fatale,” which featured no writing credits for the singer. OnTheRedCarpet
