Adam Leber "it'll be a departure from what you've heard"

She just had an episode of Glee dedicated to her. She's got a new album in the works (which the likes of Usher have offered to help out on). And those child abuse charges have officially been dropped. All in all, things are starting to look up for Britney Spears.

 

It's premature to say for sure, it's been less than three years since the 28yr old pop star was forced into psychiatric care and had to have a conservatorship appointed, but there are signs of a Britney comeback. Or at least of a carefully choreographed nudge back into public view. "it's not a comeback" , insists Larry Rudolph, the manager who discovered Speares as a teen and who still guides her career. "She's an iconic artist, She's like Madonna, she's here to stay".

 

To be fair Spears hasn't exactly been hiding out, her Circus tour was the 5th highest grossing of 09'. But compared with the days when she shocked the world by canoodling with Pythons and Madonna on MTV, she's been keeping a low profile. In fact her apperarance on Glee could be her biggest national exposure since the breakdown in 08'. Rudolph explains her relative absence from the pop culture conversation: "she just wanted to spend a year getting back to basics, being a mom. But now she's moving into a new album cycle".

 

That new album arriving as soon as early next year, will introduce a fresh, "progressive" sound from Spears, according to the stars manager Adam Leber. "it'll be a departure from what you've heard, " he promises. Of course there are still spheres of Spears life that continue to be works in progress- neither manager would discuss how much longer her father will remain in charge of Spears finances. But judging from the past couple of months, it's pretty clear Britney is gearing up to hit the spotlight one more time.

This is very exciting, and I can't wait.

 

BUT. WHAT THE f***.

 

Blackout. The Comeback.

Circus. The Comeback.

Next Album. The Comeback.

 

Bitch please, she never left.

I really hope that with this album, there'll be some more extensive promotion in the european sector. With some of her past albums (BOMT and ITZ come to mind) she has done some good, heavy promotion, which resulted in number 1 singles.

 

With Circus, we only got an X Factor performance in the UK, and I think thats a reason why the album quickly fell out of the chart and the following singles didn't get top 10 positions.....yes we had a tour, but I think people want to see Britney on TV, singing her latest song maybe giving a small interview.

 

Hopefully, instead of a tour, we'll get a more intimate promotional schedule.
