Music Review: Britney Spears - "Gimme More"

It's Britney Bitch! After months of waiting the day is finally here; Britney Spear's official single has been released! The official first single off the still unknown titled album is  "Gimme More," and it will be the first studio recording Brit Brit released since 2003. Beside "Gimme More," two more singles have been leaked, "Baby Boy," and "Cold As Fire." Overall, it is my belief that while this is a wonderful leap in the right direction, this is no killer comeback.

"Baby Boy" was the first leaked single, and I say this in quotation marks, not only because I have too according to BC, but because the actual title name is still unknown. While their is no official confirmation, it would be foolish to name the song anything else. The track starts off with what can only be describe as her son, Sean Preston's, rusty old music box. Then comes the beat, followed by Brit.

"Baby Boy" can only be described as a ballad, and Britney really attempts to let loose. It seems evident that she has been attempting to write her own lyrics, mainly because the song is so utterly cheesy that it makes High School Musical look like a serious look into the life of high schoolers. The middle section of the song is by far the cheesiest aspect of the song.

Britney starts talking to who we can only guess is her ex-Kevin Federline (K-Fed). She seems disappointed, and almost passive aggressively angry. "Baby Boy" could have been wonderful. I really like the idea of a glimpse into the life of Britney, and I used to love her voice. Deep down I feel that the leaked version is not the final copy. If I were Britney, I would have my massive production team clean up the vocals and make them sound less stitched together. Ooh ,did I mention the last lines that go: "So why did you desert me, baby boy? I thought that you, you were the one. So if you preferred the other one, She won’t bring you the sun(son)"

    I hate to admit it because I am not a Britney fanatic, but Gimme More is damn addicting. As for the others, haven't heard them enough. I think this song has "hit" written all over it and lets hope Britney doesn't screw things up, though she probably will.

    I loveee the song Gimme More,& I have never EVER liked ANY B.Spears songs! In fact I just heard it today and right away I downloaded it. After that I listened to it like 100 times non stop. I wish the best for her. She never did anything to me, & I am a young woman who would not liked to get followed by the P everyday.

    um jez, .. too late.

    The first three words are the best thing about this song. Toxic, just to name one song was much better than this. This song is also a perfect example of knowing too much about the person, too much that is disgusting and galling, where you know every word out of her mouth is insincere. Except the ghetto-fabulous first three words. But as when they are spoken normally, they hide either a lack of self-esteem, hope or talent.

    That phrase can also be used to be funny, but that requires a higher level of any of the above three than Britney Spears possesses.

    Stronger? No.

    This is not the TI version. This is the official, exclusive remix to Britney Spears' single "Gimme (Give me) More" featuring hip-hop/rap group Audio Imagery. Rumor has it that this may appear as a bonus track on her album when it is released in November.
    Audio Imagery's claim to recent fame is their collaboration with J-Lo on her single "Do It Well" which was released mid August 2007.
