The children liked the new album? What they said about him? "Yes. They finally danced with the album but it's kinda funny because they are still a little confused .... It's like, 'Who is that singer Britney Spears and how her relationship with Mommy?'"
As his involvement in the recording process has changed over the years?
"I've always been very involved in every album I have ever shot. I am a bit stubborn when it comes to recording a song and I'll record only those that I love, and that's why it takes so long for me to record an album. I have to feel connected to the song before recording it, and she has to make me feel something for her inside. Few songs get it. I think it's a good process because I love all the songs I recorded. I know there are artists who hate some songs they recorded. I do not feel it."
What was your general idea for the sound of that album?
"I wanted to do an album with a new sound to clubs or anything you put to play in the car on the way to partying at night and leave you excited, but I wanted it to sound unlike anything that's out there now. I also wanted to experiment with different types of music that I love, and that's why you hear a mix of pop, hip-hop and dance throughout the album. I also wanted to play with my voice and change the tone a little here and there, which was pretty cool."
We can hear traces of a truly adventurous dance music on the album - for example, break into dubstep Hold It Against Me. How do you find new sounds? "I hear many different songs from all over the world and I think focusing on that revolve around what is new and that makes me want to dance. I really did not want to record anything on this album that could be confused with anyone there. I think my first two singles, Hold It Against Me and Till The World Ends, they sound completely different and I think when my fans to hear the rest of the Femme Fatale they will see how each song is modern."
You're still going to nightclubs? What kind of dance music do you like? "I do not get out much but when I go out, I definitely like to go dancing. I am a person who goes by 'vibe' when it comes to music, so a song has to really make me feel somehow that I can fall in love with her. I love dance music with heavy beats and beautiful melodies. These are my favorite.
What kind of music do you listen to at home? "I Love (Black Eyed) Peas but I also love DeadMau5. I guess I like a bit of everything. Lately I've heard Robyn Adele and without stopping but I also love finding new artists that few people know. It's one of my favorite things to do because it's like you were part of a secret. Friends and people around me are always showing me new artists they love and that's how I found out Sabi and I ended up working with her on (Drop Dead) Beautiful. I always wanted to do a partnership with a new artist on one of my albums and it is very cool."
What prompted you to collaborate with will.i.am? How is it working with him? "The (Black Eyed) Peas songs are pop / dace viciates and incredibly fun and I LOVE the style of Will.I.Am. I always wanted to do music album with him and I love to work with him more in the future. It is very interesting."
Dr. Luke has become a big name producer since his last album - it's different working with him now? "Actually, no. We met long ago. Most people do not know, but we actually worked together when I was recording the Blackout. He was amazing then and he only improved over the years. "
Dr. Luke said last fall that "wanted [the sound] to stay somewhat heavier, and perhaps to further specify the electronic '. You had the same thing in mind for the album? You think you hit it? "When we talk first about the Femme Fatale I knew I wanted to make a dance album that was ahead of all but one for me, and that was why I was so demanding during the recording process. I just wanted songs that I just could not connect. I also wanted to make sure that this album was completely different from the Circus or anything I had written. I love the Circus but I wanted something more obscure and risky. I also wanted to make an "album", would not only save a lot of music and add all at the end. And I think Femme Fatale is very consistent from beginning to end. "
What Max Martin has to make you stay as comfortable working with him? What about his role on this album has grown in relation to the Circus? "Max played a big role on this album and he's been with me from the beginning, then there is a high level of confidence. He understands exactly what I say when I tell him what I want and do not want musically. His melodies are uncivil and it always comes with some weird sounds that I love. The whistle on I Wanna Go still surprises me every time I hear. Who would have thought it? There is nobody that I feel more comfortable in the studio."
How would you rate the relationship between the studio Max and Dr. Luke?
"They are like two peas in a pod. They connect."
