Hit Me, Britney . . . One More Time

The international pop star and queen of comebacks returns with a surprisingly electrifying new release — easily her strongest in nearly a decade.

Britney Spears

Glory (RCA Records)

On Glory, Spears infuses her trademark seductive lyrics and raspy vocals with a new R&dB-tinged flair — very much in evidence on the album’s lead single and video “Make Me…” This trip into Spears’ previously uncharted musical territory results in her most consistent work since 2007’s Blackout (an album overshadowed by personal struggles that played out in the public eye at the time of its release). Highlights on Glory include a bouncy and forward “Do You Wanna Come Over?” the club anthem “Clumsy,” and a reggae-themed “Slumber Party,” with videos posted below. Spears’ wildly successful Las Vegas residency Britney: Piece of Me has also recently been extended at Planet Hollywood for another two-year run.
