“Circus” lives up to the HypeAnother Hit Album for Britney SpearsBritney Spears records another Hit Album Again

Britney Spears much hyped and anticipated second album “Circus” was released Tuesday. After listening to the album, it was clear that this album has some of her best work on it . The whole album was put together very well and the quality is much improved from previous albums that were more childish. In this album you can tell when Britney Spears sings, you can here in her voice that she has matured and is not singing in the same type of voice that she sings in from when she was a teenager and just coming on to the music scene. Some of the songs on this album have a personal feel to where others have a dance feeling and this just makes you want to get up and dance. This album has a different varity of songs and doesn’t sing about the same thing. When Britney Spears first came onto the music scene, She was young and the songs she sang reflected that. Some of the songs in her early days had her singing about in ways sexual stuff and she was not even 18 years old yet. “Circus” does not have that much of that but instead has songs that show that she is changing and has songs that show that she is maturing an artist and a woman. There are two tracks from the album that show a different side of Britney Spears that has been missing on her albums and that is a softer side. The two tracks from the album “Circus” are that show that side is Tracks three and 12. These two tracks has Britney Spears singing about a broken heart and the love that she has for her two sons. Track three is a song that most girls can relate to with Britney Spears who sings about a guy who could have been the write person but decides to go on with their life and not think about what could have been with this one person. Track 12 is the complete opposite from song three. This Track has to be the most personal song that she has sang about on an album compared to other albums she has recorded. She sings and describes a baby from the smell of their skin to the small hands. She describes how she is glad that she has them in her life and can’t imagine life with out them. The first track that is played set the tone for this album. The first track is called “Womanizer” and it is a song that would get a person in club to dance or sing to. The beat to this song is edgey and is sung well enough to understand what Britney Spears is talking about. This is a song that can be related to a bad relationship that a person is in. She sings about how her boyfriend likes to look at other women and that does happen sometimes when in you are dating someone. Other tracks on the album such as 2, 4, and 13 have all have different sounds, beats and tone in the voice. She doesn’t just sing in the same voice but mixes it up as demostrated in those three tracks. Even though this album shows that she has is changing and mixing it up, She still needs to improve on some things. The first thing that she should change is not singing about a guy that broke you heart or is a cheater because that is what the first track was about and she has sung about that same problem in previous albums that she has recorded. A second thing is that some tracks have sounds or beats that don’t enhance the song but it makes the song sound worse then what it already is. An example would be track 13. The sound and beats are off and the song just doesn’t make sense and those two problems don’t make it any better. This album has songs running over three minutes except for one track that ran just over two and a half minutes. Picking a track that was her best song/track, it would be track three. That track shows a mature person is singing that song and is getting in touch with soft side. She is describing the love that she has for her sons and how they have changed her life and can’t picture life without them. That track reflects how far Britney Spears has come. This album, from start to finish, had some of the best songs. It was different than previous albums she had made and the songs reflect that. It has songs that you could relate to, dance to and feel the emotions in some of the softer side of the music. The change in the way she sings is shown when you listen to it and hear the good quality of different sounds that enhace the music. The whole hype surrounding Britney Spears album “Circus” was worth it. She made an album that was better than last years album. This album has better songs and has a touch of her personal side and her last album did not have that. Britney Spears recorded an album that will go to a place that she is familer with and that is number one on the music charts but won’t know that until the numbers are released. Out of five stars, a four. -30-
