In last Thursday (12), Rolling Stone decided to evaluate The Femme Fatale Remix of the song Till The World Ends, which brings the vocals Ke$ha and Nicki Minaj with new beats and a break with the right to dubstep.

"The single most naughty psychedelia of Britney since Toxic, if not more today, becomes an icon of the disco-trash. Co-songwriter Ke$ha strike drags on robotics, but Minaj provides a touch of gold saying, 'I'm not talking about birds when I say that this is fried chicken' in the midst of synthesizers, closing the savage tone of this remix", says Rob Sheffield, a journalist who has evaluated the track.

Rolling Stone assesses the Femme Fatale and gives 4 stars!


The Femme Fatale album has not yet been released worldwide, but some early leakage sites were expressed on the CD, assessing the tracks. 

The latest review was done by the prestigious Rolling Stone magazine, which rated the album and gave it 4 out of 5 stars for the production - this is the best assessment that Britney has already received all of their releases. Check out the review of the magazine:


"Britney Spears is not recognized avant-garde pop music. For years, critics dismissed it as being a pace with little voice. From the moment that came on the scene - announced by the chords of Baby One More Time - your music bubblegum pop was driven to an unfamiliar territory and daring. Toxic was a mix of Bollywood with guitar sounds of spy movies; Piece of Me was a story of the infamous abuse of the 21st century tabloids influenced by rhythms of clubs in the 22 century. And then we have this year Hold It Against Me, which dissolves in a furious breakdown of dubstep - is easily the more aggressive beat the Hot 100 at the moment.

Femme Fatale is to be the best album of Britney, is certainly the strangest. Conceptually simple and right: a CD for parties with lots of sex and melancholy. Max Martin and Dr. Luke, the two biggest hitmakers overall, account for seven of the 12 tracks: great melodies and strong influence Eurodisco. But other producers are going crazy. The track produced by Bloodshy, How I Roll, calls attention for being a techno strangely beautiful. Big Fat Bass, Will.I.Am, Britney turns into a Cyborg obsessed with something else. ("The Bass Is Getting Bigger", Britney expressed). In almost all tracks, Britney's voice is mixed, processed and robot. Maybe because she has not much voice, surely this is due to the fact that for her, more than any other pop diva, is something simple. Femme Fatale? Not so. But say this about Britney: She's an adventurer. "- By Jody Rosen.


After the album's release, we'll make a post with the main criticisms of the Femme Fatale. Below is a table showing the evaluation of Spears CDs: 
- ...Baby One More Time: 3/5  
- Oops!... I Did It Again: 3/5  
- Britney: 2.5/5  
- In The Zone: 3.5/5  
- Blackout: 3.5/5  
- Circus: 3/5  
- Femme Fatale: 4/5

Rolling Stone does matter on the Femme Fatale!

Check out a story done by Rolling Stone magazine about the Femme Fatale.


Britney Spears announced her new studio album, Femme Fatale, scheduled for March 15 - but the singer and executive producers are still choosing songs that will make the album. "Not ready" - Dr. Luke responds, that is producing the album with Max Martin, for Rolling Stone. We are now in the middle. I can not even mention the songs that come on the project. We are working with many producers and we supervise with A & R, record label and co msua with their employers, to make a CD cohesive.

The album, of course, include Hold It Against Me, co-written by Luke, Martin and Bonnie McKee, the latter being the same writer from California Gurls, Katy Perry and Dynamite, by Taio Cruz. The first single from Spears made her debut in mid-January, first, and then dropped to sixth.

Originally, Dr. Luke and Max Martin (Swedish composer responsible for some of the biggest hits of the singer, including ...Baby One More Time) planned to offer to Hold It Against Me for Katy Perry. "We could have shown it to, but definitely not his style", said Dr. Luke by phone, direct from Conway Recording Studio in Los Angeles.

"We did it for some time. Wanted to make sure that did not sound anything we had done previously. I took her to the Billboard charts, and he arrazou. It can be heavy on the back and a lot heavier on the bridge, but the chorus is super-pop. You can play the tune at an acoustic guitar and he will still be excellent. " 

The radio (Top40) still playing the song regularly. "It seems an obvious first single, obvious to hear" - says the director of KISS on programming in Los Angeles. He played the song once an hour, when it was released. "You hear all those pieces of music and sound as "Britney"- here's the part of the bridge's dance video. And this will my listeners love her. " 

Although Circus (2008) have sold fewer than 2 million copies, which is not a very large number relative to its historical sales, stores are optimistic about sales of the album in March this year. 

"[Circus] was made up nicely, but we were a little wary of him - a return to a little delicate, but it had been, surely, relevant" - said Mark Hudson, Trans World Entertainment, which provides for a sale of 500,000 copies in its first week. "But this time, his stock is higher." 
 
A couple of executive producers, Martin and Luke, would like to work on more songs on the album. They also confirmed other producers for the CD, as Bloodshy and Benny Blanco

So far, Spears entered the studio more than three times in Los Angeles. "Britney is really fast. She does what she must do at once."
