"Blackout" by Britney Spears (Pop/R&B artist from Louisiana (LA))

The heavily-anticipated comeback from Spears entitled "Blackout" follows the same beat-driven sound as the hit-single "Gimme More." Built around electronic hooks and heavily auto-tuned, robotic vocals, these songs are very similar in song structure yet are consistently catchy. "Piece of Me" stands out because of its very honest and personal lyrics, making mention of Brit's thoughts on motherhood and being the center of tabloid attention. "Break the Ice" takes on a more melodic sound while maintaining a club-friendly sound. Moreover, "Toy Sound" escalates to a more fast-paced, lively sound. Overall, the tunes on "Blackout" are sexy, danceable, and seemingly constructed for those who love to get up and groove.
