Album: Scream & Shout – Single / #willpower
Fresh off their first collaboration on Femme Fatale, Spears and will.i.am teamed up again for this cut from will.i.am’s 2013 album #willpower. It says a lot about the track that the best part is the recycled iconic “It’s Britney, Bitch” clip from Spears’s 2007 hit “Gimme More.” The electropop beat is catchy, but the lyrics are very cringey. It does mark the debut (at least on record) of Britney’s sassy British alter-ego, where she brings some personality to her spoken-word verses. An official “Hit Boy Remix” strips the song of its club appeal and adds several rap verses from Hit Boy, Wacka Flocka Flame, Lil’ Wayne, & Diddy, several of whom provide better rap offerings than will.i.am, but is not overall a net gain. We did get two music videos (the original and the remix), where a glammed-up Britney provides some .gif-worthy moments. But as with many Spears/will.i.am collaborations, the results here are a mixed bag.
