Britney Spears Womanizer - May Have Just Redeemed Her From Lackluster Comeback

Listeners can only have two reactions to Britney Spears’ Womanizer single. You can either love or hate it. And for this writer, the reaction is definitely not the latter.

It has been a while since we have heard from Britney Spears (aside from the news and Internet posts). With the release of Blackout the album, she announced to the world that she is back after couple of years a roller coaster ride in her personal life. She made it official by appearing at the MTV VMAs where she, unfortunately, sucked.

However, shortly after the release of Blackout, which turned out to be her most unsuccessful album to date, she released the single Womanizer. Frankly speaking, this seemed to redeem her from her horrific performance at the VMAs. The song had the Britney signature. It is funky, danceable, and catchy. All the elements of a Britney hit is included in this single so you’d know that this will be widely received for a long time.

Fans will be able to connect to the song easily. The words, penned by Nikesha Briscoe and Rapheal Akinyemi, were relatable. It tells the story of a womanizer who’s trying to score but he’s been found out and the girl is not giving him a chance to even reach first base. A lot of young girls will connect to this one. The chorus cannot be any catchier: Womanizer, woman-womanizer You’re a womanizer Oh womanizer, Oh you’re a womanizer baby You, you, you are You, you, you are Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer.

The composers of the song have infused the new trend in pop songs: futuristic sounds and electro-punk feel. It definitely added to the appeal of the song. But it would seem more suitable if the song is devoid of this and concentrated on sticking to the bubblegum pop genre, which is what Britney Spears is famous for.

However, it still sounded great. When you listen to it, you can’t deny that it is a Britney Spears song. The lyric, phrasing, the distinctive vocals, and tempo-all of these are the signatures of the pop superstar.

And even though a music artist should strive for new and better songs, Britney seemed to have taken a couple of steps back with the way this track sounded (she has had earlier songs that showed signs of a more mature artist like the Madonna collaboration). However, it was a good decision to go back to basics. With Womanizer she was able to solidify her position in the pop scene.

There is really nothing much to say about this single except that it meets our expectations. We expect nothing from Britney Spears but good quality music, and that is what she just gave us with Womanizer.
