The Britney Spears of yore is gone, we need to accept that. We'll never have a charismatic, intricate dance sequence ever again, just a repetitive array of hair flips and arm movements. It's a sad time. However, as a recording artist, she's still popping out some decent radio friendly tracks and her latest outing, a duet with untalented Australian deliverer of lyrics Iggy Azalea, is about as radio friendly as pop gets.
It's a bit of a poor man's Fancy, the brilliant Charli XCX collaboration that put Iggy on the map last year, however it's the most engaged Britney has sounded in a long time, particularly when she harks back to her vocal glory days (well...) with some harmonising over Iggy's actually quite enjoyable middle-eight. It all feels a little too contrived though and as I suggested, a rehash of what's come before as the duo 'sing' "All around the world pretty girls/ Jump the line to the front/ Do what we like get what we want/ We're just so pretty..."I'm sure it's all tongue in cheek, like the ridiculous music video, but in this world you never know.
