Listening 2 Britney: Gimme More
There\u2019s no more iconic Britney lyric than the opening of \u201cGimme More.\u201d It's 2007, four years since her last album In The Zone was released, and Britney is affirmatively back with the uptempo track leading off her album Blackout: \u201cIt\u2019s Britney, Bitch.\u201d The song echoes the dance-pop Neptunes sound of \u201cI\u2019m A Slave 4 U.\u201d It's built around a driving riff and off-kilter drums produced by Floyd Nathaniel Hills AKA Danja. Each time Britney sings \u201cmore\u201d her voice is pitched down to a devilish growl. This disturbing vocal processing mirrors the vulgar paparazzi and public scrutiny in her personal life. On the fourth and final episode of our series Listening to Britney, we want to once again focus on her voice, how it's manipulated, how it\u2019s evolved, and where it might be going.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
