GIMME GIMME

The first reviews are in! Blender gave this bitch 4 stars!

WHO: Britney Spears
WHAT: "Gimme More"
WHY: At the end of Britney Spears' new single, producer Danjahandz (Justin Timberlake,
Katharine McPhee) says, "Bet you didn't see this coming." He's right.
Even if it's an obvious "SexyBack" retread (all the way down to the
distorted vocals), the unsettling disco dazzler "Gimme More" is about
as good a track as we could expect from a woman whose life has turned
into a lurid, express line farce. Britney's breathy lyrics take on her
tabloid stalkers in a way that's somewhere between completely
self-aware, invincible and, dare we say, kinda artful. "They want more,
well, I'll give them more," she says, standing up to a billion flash
bulbs with a genuine potential smash hit behind her. She's not just
bitching about the paparazzi — she's begging them for more with a smirk
and some cocaine funk. Reverse psychology par excellence or a star
admitting to her own dark, attention-craving desires? Either way, it's
more intriguing than it should be. "It's Britney, bitch," she says at
the top of the track. Welcome back, bitch.

MTV UK!

Britney Spears new song Gimme More has leaked to the internet and been played on US radio stations.

The single is an uptempo club track which MTV News has to admit is rather good.

It's been produced by Timbaland protégé Nate 'Danja' Hills- who has worked with both Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake.

Gimme More starts with the vetaran pop star whispering "It's Britney Bitch." The catchy tune is reminscent of her ex-boyfriend Justin's music with the chorus liklely to be stuck in your head for months.

Whee! OMG Britney turned down UMBRELLA! I just heard that on the radio. Apparently Tricky Stewart (who produced Me Against The Music) offered it to her but was turned down because her label thought it didn't have hit potential and so gave it to Rihanna. Funny.

But these kindda things happen all the time la. Kylie turned down Toxic if I'm not wrong.
