    This is by far Britney Spears’ best album. It’s personal, introspective and beautiful tracks like “Don’t Cry”, “Alien”, and “Passenger”, are where the album truly shines and radiates a mature, vulnerable Britney we aren’t used to seeing. But the album also perfectly keeps the quintessential Britney image that we all love with songs like the bold “Work **** and the sexy “Tik Tik Boom”.This is by far Britney Spears’ best album.

However, at times the album drifts off into generic and vapid tracks such as “It Should Be Easy” and “Body Ache”. But overall it is a great album and is my favorite she has ever done.

    “Britney Jean” is a solid album with a lot of Good songs
    She co-wrote every song so Even though the song is about dancing and fun she's behind the writing
    The best tracks are: Alien, Work **** and Perfume

    Unnecessary hate.

    The controversy of this album isn't solely on Britney, she was rebelling for her freedom and people should've supported her basic human rights.

    Nesse CD, Britney tentou fazer algo pessoal só que com pegada comercial. Isso resultou em letras pessoais e melodia/instrumental mainstream. Sem nenhuma promoção, o álbum foi apenas algo pessoal como Blackout.

    Britney Jean is definitely an album which requires a particular taste. I think the main reason why this album has been so poorly received is because if how manufactured it is. This album contains a stupid amount of autotune and has the emblem of will.i.am all over it, but that DOESN'T mean that is a bad thing. After a couple full listens, this album grows on you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With superficial lyrics, robotic vocals and almost inaudible, and a touch Britney Holy Virgin, "Britney Jean" takes a step forward and four behind. With songs like "Til It's Gone", "Don't Cry" and "the Passenger"; Britney brings us a poisoned soup of auto-tune and lyrics as stupid and pointless. The high peaks of the album stay with the sweet "Alien", the dance and independent **** the pulsing and melodic "Perfume", the twins "Body Ache" and "Tik Tik Boom" and the almost incredible and retouched version of '' From the Bottom of My Broken Heart ": " Brightest Morning Star ". In general there's nothing new in "Britney Jean", only one set of tracks that exposes their lack of involvement in the album. Expand

    "Britney Jean" was one of the most highly anticipated albums in 2013. Britney called it her most personal album ever, and that's exactly what it was: it was personal.

    I love "Alien," a midtempo track about feeling like an outcast, like an alien, and about finding her place in her world, where she belongs. "Work B**ch" is a banger, yes, but it is personal, too; Britney worked hard to get
    "Britney Jean" was one of the most highly anticipated albums in 2013. Britney called it her most personal album ever, and that's exactly what it was: it was personal.

    I love "Alien," a midtempo track about feeling like an outcast, like an alien, and about finding her place in her world, where she belongs. "Work B**ch" is a banger, yes, but it is personal, too; Britney worked hard to get where she is now. "Perfume," though the whole "mark my territory" part is questionable, is about jealousy, about her feeling paranoid that her boyfriend is cheating on her, and obviously, Britney has been in this situation before. I would've loved "It Should Be Easy" much, much better if Britney had taken another approach with it; the production could've been handled better - like less robotic effects on her voice, maybe a more stripped-back production overall, and more revising of the lyrical content. Don't get me wrong: I like "Tik Tik Boom"; the production is well-done, and it showcases Britney's vocal ability, but it doesn't feel like it belongs here, like it would be more fitting for, I don't know, a separate E.P. entitled "Blackout 2.0." "Body Ache" doesn't belong here, either, and I feel like it could've been made available through a different means, unrelated to this album. "Til It's Gone" is an upbeat, emotional track, which displays a personal side to Britney, while allowing anyone to dance to it, as well. "Passenger," one of my personal favourites, has an amazing production, the most unique out of the rest of the album, and those vocals . . . whoa! Britney blew me away! "Chillin' With You," though a soothing, relaxing song, wasn't a favourite, but it still fits with the personal vibe. And "Don't Cry" reminds me of Britney Spears' earlier content, and her vocals are the most natural, the most raw here. "Brightest Morning Star" is a beautiful, uplifting track, which is either about her two sons or God. "Hold On Tight" is another personal favourite, and it is one of the songs I most relate to; her vocals are amazing, filled with emotion, which is pretty powerful. "Now That I Found You" is just as relatable and just as amazing. And I loved the stripped-down version of "Perfume," which ends the deluxe edition. Overall, I loved Britney Jean!

    Raw emotion at its finest. Coming in strong with her 8th studio album, Britney Spears delivers some of her most uncut and personal songs to date. With heart throbbing ballads like "Perfume" and EDM anthems like "Work B**ch", this album is truly a showcase of the versatility of Ms. Spears. Britney Jean is arguably the best album of 2013.

    I can consider this one of Britney's best albums, it really has bangers that weren't used like they deserved. Vocal showcase in songs like Passenger, Perfume or Don't Cry show that Britney still have it. It also has dope beats in tracks like Work B**ch!, Tik Tik Boom, Til It's Gone and It Should Be Easy. This is actually a valuable jewel.

I really enjoyed the whole album from start to finish.

    In her next project, it would be awesome to see something like Blackout 2. I'm really hoping to see her team up with Danja in the near future.

    Britney Jean é o álbum mais pessoal da carreira de Britney Spears segundo a mesma: Com todas as faixas co-escritas pela cantora, o álbum apesar de boa melodia e composições peca em certas partes.

    Spears deveria ter explorado mais sua voz desta vez (o que faz sentido, o que seria mais pessoal do seus que vocais crus?) porém Perfume & Don't Cry são algumas das poucas faixas onde não vemos

    Britney teve que lançar o álbum com muita pressa devido a sua Residência em Las Vegas, o álbum não é o melhor de sua carreira, isso é evidente. O álbum é pessoal e foi feito com carinho para os fãs, todas as faixas são ótimas especialmente Work B**ch. O que estragou o álbum foi o Will.i.am. Os vocais de Britney na baladinha Perfume é impecável e mostra a bela voz que ela possui.

    É um bom álbum, tem muito amor envolvido nele, mas não é tudo que Britney pode dar.
    A canção "Alien" é linda, tem uma boa história e refrão envolvente e chiclete. "Work B**ch" tão criticada e julgada como ruim, é boa, eu particularmente amo essa música. Apesar de Britney não esforçar vocais, tal música que pode ser cantada facilmente por qualquer um, mas é ótima para as baladas. "Perfume"

"Perfume" a baladinha romântica, fácil de cantar, tem um bom toque, mereceria ser sucesso. "It Should Be Easy (feat. Will.I.am)" Definitivamente a melhor coisa dessa música é o instrumental. "Tik Tik Boom (feat. T.I)" ótima, merece Twerk, merece ser single. "Body Ache", "Chillin' With You (feat. Jamie)" e "Til It's Gone" Meia Boca, a melhor chega a ser Til It's Gone. "Passenger" pra mim é uma das melhores músicas que deve ser single, e que deveria ter sido o segundo, substituindo Perfume. A introdução de "Don't Cry", a melhor faixa do álbum é perfeita, apesar de que deveria ter sido acrescentados mais alguns vocais da Princesa do Pop. Hold on Tight, Brightest Morning Star e Now That I Found You são boas, porém mereciam estar no Britney Jean, e não no Deluxe. Britney sempre foi a princesa do pop, apenas tem que se comportar como uma, porque só o nome dela é o suficiente para muita coisa.

    Incredibly, the album is really personal. The opening track "Alien" finds her crying at times she felt alone. "Perfume", "Till It's Gone" are deep as well. "Passenger" would be the PERFECT lead single, she hits notes no one would imagine and it is how pop-rock songs should be made.

    'Britney Jean' is a tuff, tuff album to honestly review. As a fan, I love the concept she went for here. I love that she's trying to get more personal, and change up her process a bit, because let's face it... her last two albums, she's just been on autopilot. 2008's 'Circus' marked a welcome return for Britney, and on the heels of 'Womanizer' topping the charts around the globe, the album'Britney Jean' is a tuff, tuff album to honestly review. As a fan, I love the concept she went for here. I love that she's trying to get more personal, and change up her process a bit, because let's face it... her last two albums, she's just been on autopilot. 2008's 'Circus' marked a welcome return for Britney, and on the heels of 'Womanizer' topping the charts around the globe, the album was a huge success. But let's be honest... as a record, it was all over the place. Had it stopped about 10 tracks in, you might have had a cohesive set, which lyrically synced up nicely to the title. BUT, at 13 tracks... it got a little bloated and stale towards the end. 2011's 'Femme Fatale' was a phenomenal dance record, chalk full of potential hits. 'Hold It Against Me' was the perfect Britney Spears track throwing out that inescapable dance vibe, with a killer lyrical hook that led it straight to #1. The only bummer AGAIN with 'Femme Fatale' though was that there wasn't a trace of Britney on it. Every song was handcrafted by a hit maker, and overall the album is a bit immature coming from a 30 year old mother of 2.

    Enter 'Britney Jean'. Clearly bored with the pop music scene, and wanting to take a bit more control, it's clear Britney definitely put quite a bit more effort into this disc then the last 2. 'Britney Jean' comes in at 10 tracks, a much shorter set than her previous 2, and the title is a great reflection of the disc. Though the "personal" content might not be all we'd hoped for, it's definitely much more input than we've gotten from Britney in years. What makes this record such a huge letdown though?? The ever present plague that is will.i.am.

    Will may make catchy music for radio, but has anyone noticed that he can't sell it to save his soul? Without Fergie and the Peas, Will's #willpower has utterly tanked. I fear the same is in store for Britney. While songs like 'It Should Be Easy', 'Work B***h', and 'Tik Tik Boom' are fun, will's production is immature and stuck two years ago in the club. He fails to really capture and release Britney's personality as it is TODAY.

    'Britney Jean' isn't without it's highlights though, and it's because of those highlights that I give it a 7 out of 10. I feel this album was a completely different direction for Britney than her past 2, and i'll give her the credit she's due. William Orbit kicks off the set with 'Alien', the sobering mid tempo where Britney sings about feeling alienated and alone, and finding the light in another's eyes. The lyrics are simple and beautiful, and the track is an honest reflection of Britney's turbulent breakdown and essential rebirth. I feel Orbit did a much better job capturing a piece of Britney. In addition, the Katy Perry and Sia penned 'Passenger' is a standout that finds Britney singing about letting go of her control and falling in love. It's a unique sound for Brit, and a complete right turn off the road of her previous music. 'Chillin With You' brings some more personal input, as well as the disc's closing ballad 'Don't Cry'.

    Throw some classic Britney in the form of standouts 'Body Ache' and 'Till It's Gone', and you've definitely got a decent evolution. The only bummer with this album is that it doesn't complete the evolution of Britney Spears. 'Britney Jean' should've been her 'Ray of Light'.... instead it heads in the right direction in spots, while desperately clinging to the club in others that makes the album sound in cohesive, and Britney still slightly lost.

    Em termos sonoros, o grande diferencial desse cd realmente ser atravessado pela influência da EDM: desde as faixas uptempo (como "Work e "Til It's Gone"), passando pelas midtempo (como "Passenger" e "Alien"), deixando seus "salpicos" até na balada "Perfume"... ah, e não posso esquecer que tem EDM até na pseudo-twerk "Tik Tik Boom".

Eu jurava que iria ser um album introspectivo, bem naquele estilo clássico. Mas, como tudo que diz respeito Britney passa longe do clássico, ela traz um álbum que um turbilhão, um tanto confuso, de sons e sentimentos... Se o resultado disso algo ruim ou bom, vai depender do gosto de cada um. Eu, particularmente, gostei de quase todo álbum... Seguem comentários track by track...

    1 Alien A versão demo, por incrível que pareça, melhor. Não sei porque mexeram nas notas de alguns trechos, pois fez soar estranho. A faixa, em si, tem uma levada muito gostosa, um tom introspectivo. Mas, no todo, extremamente enfadonha e sem grandes atrativos. Acho que demorarei a gostar realmente dessa música;
    2 Work EDM PERFEITA, SIMPLESMENTE PERFEITA! Melhor lead single não haveria pra esse cd;
    3 Perfume Que posso dizer??? Não a balada perfeita, mas uma perfeita balada da Britney. O instrumental fenomenal e, por vezes, soa grandioso, mas sem encobrir demais a voz suave da Britney;
    4 It Should Be Easy Acho que essa faixa tem Will.I.Am demais... Esse o seu defeito;
    5 Tik Tik Boom pop, twerk, modinha, engraçada, grudenta...;
    6 Body Ache bem produzida, mas falta alguma coisa... um bridge bombástico;
    7 Til It's Gone Se com Work a EDM soa quase crua, nessa faixa o pop se mostra bem mais presente em estrofes mais melódicas;
    8 Passenger Uma de minhas favoritas... Os vocais da Britney estão ótimos nessa faixa: a crescente de notas que ela faz a partir de 1m53s fenomenal. E o mais interessante que as sutis variações melódicas, prévias a cada repetição do refrão, faz essa música ganhar vários ápices que não a deixa, em nenhum momento, cansativa;
    9 Chillin' With You Detestei! E só ganhou uma estrela porque o refrão ótimo, nem parece ser dessa péssima música;
    10 Don't Cry Talvez escutando outras vezes, eu venha a gostar mais dessa música. Gostei da melodia, mas não curti a produção. Enfim, uma das mais fracas do cd;
    11 Brightest Morning Star Essa faixa tem um clima gospel que me agrada muito, principalmente no refrão. Além do mais, me lembra muito, só que com uma pegada bem mais atual, as músicas dos primeiros cd's da Britney;
    12 Hold On Tight Grandiosa. Introspectiva. Que produção! Não entendo como uma faixa tão tão tão boa não está na track principal. Ainda mais quando temos aquele feat. pavoroso na faixa 9;
    13 Now That I Found You Essa uma faixa que "parece mas não No início, parece ser uma midtempo, mas ela pipoca no refrão. Que bridge esse? FODA!;
    14 Perfume (The Dreaming Mix) Essa mixagem deu um clima mais introspectivo a música. Os violões no refrão ficarão ótimos!

    Eu esperava mais para um álbum pessoal, Britney e Will.I.Am não dão certo. O album parece ser mais uma continuação mais leve do Femme Fatale do que um álbum pessoal, continuo preferindo dizer que o Blakcout o álbum pessoal da Britney e não o Britney Jean, mas olhando por outros factores, o álbum bom sim, acho que só peca na tracklist que esta mal organizada.

    It's a Great album, with great songs. The Album works like a roller-coaster, what sounds amazing when you are hearing it on your iPod. Britney shows that you can do up-tempo songs with personal lyrics and emotion, like we can clearly see on Til' it's Gone, her best track since Toxic. The best vocal in the CD is Don't Cry, that reminds us a lot of her 2nd studio album, Oops I Did It Again.

They complete the album, and make the listening experience significantly more enjoyable. That being said "Britney Jean", the 8th studio album from pop music legend Britney Spears, is a beautiful one. It's light-hearted, and fun. Britney marketed this as her "most personal album yet", and that is exactly what she delivered.

    The album opens with "Alien", a track about feeling alone and isolated with pulsating trance beats in the background. It's definitely one of the album's highlights. (Even if the demo was better) This is followed by "Work the lead single of the album and an EDM orgasm. Britney commands the listener to work if they want to enjoy all the fine things life has to offer. It's one of my personal favorites. Perfume, the second single and a gorgeous power ballad follows. Britney gives one of her best vocal performances since her early work. However, this track should've been towards the end of the album, because primary tracks of Britney Jean are more dance-oriented, and Perfume ruins that flow. Next is "It Should Be Easy", a track that features executive producer will.i.am. And although the track relies heavily on robotic vocals and dance beat, it's still rather enjoyable. The robotic vocals compliment the song, and somehow it works. We then get the T.I. collaboration "Tik Tik Boom", an urban influenced dance track that has Britney cooing about her sex needs. It's reminiscent of "I'm a Slave 4 U". This is then followed by "Body Ache", the complex sister of "Scream & Shout". It's your standard EDM track, not groundbreaking but it will get your blood flowing and your feet moving. Next we have "Til It's Gone", and EDM/dubstep track that isn't about clubbing or dancing provocatively but about losing someone and not realizing how much they meant until their gone. This concludes the dance-oriented portion of Britney Jean.

    "Passenger" opens the next chapter in the book of Britney Jean. It's a pop/rock track about letting go of the keys and letting someone else take the lead. It's taking a leap of faith, despite the risk of falling. It's also one of Britney's best vocal performances on the album. This is followed by "Chillin' With You", a collaboration with younger sister Jamie Lynn. It's a feel good anthem about being with the people you love and not having a care in the world. It's a strange track, but enjoyable nonetheless. "Don't Cry" concludes the standard edition of Britney Jean. It's reminiscent of something off 2001's "Britney".

    This first deluxe track we get is "Brightest Morning Star", a song about her boys and how even at her darkest moments, they still make her world bright. Possibly one of the most personal songs off the album. "Hold On Tight" is about being away from home and wanting to be with one's significant other. A beautiful and whimsical track. Next we have "Now That I Found You", a song about about rediscovering ones faith. It's an electro-ballad, that's chorus makes you want to just dance and sing. It's another feel good track off the album. The album concludes with "Perfume (The Dreaming Mix)", a raw and darker version of the album's second single.

    In all Britney Jean is all about having fun and feeling good. It's not her most groundbreaking album but it's still a strong pop album that is extremely enjoyable. The album is diverse, and mature, unlike her last effort "Femme Fatale". Critics might say that after the conclusion of "Britney Jean", we don't know really know Britney and I'd have to disagree with that. After the conclusion of Britney Jean, I realized Britney is just like any other woman, and that's how she wants to be seen. She feels lonely and insecure sometimes, she likes to have fun and feel good. She doesn't want her past struggles to define her. She's just a simple Louisiana girl. And for me, this makes the album more endearing. Britney Jean Spears maybe one of the world's biggest stars, but at the end of the day she's just like any of us.

I thunk it's a great pop record and i feel underwhelmed by critical response, but yet again that's not surprising. Britney has always been snobbed. People by mistake think that if she's not stealing writing credits (aka Beyonce) and not screaming about a great album message (aka Gaga) she's less artist. That's wrong. Most people have no idea that behind ALL the creativeness (whether it's Baby One More Time legendary outfit or Blackout music masterpiece) she's the one who call the shots. If album like this was released by Gaga critics will praise the hell out of it. Sadly only fans can understand true beauty of what's Britney Spears doing. But that's not gonna last forever.

The other ballads such as Perfume, Don't Cry, Hold On Tight are the trio highlights for me because we can hear Britney's raw and emotive voice very clearly. They are just beautiful. The mid tempos such as Brightest Morning Star and Passenger are also great and personal. One is about the love for her children or God and the other is about being free and trusting in a relationship. The uptempos on this album are great EDM tracks for the club, but it does not shine as bright as her usual uptempos, even though I think Til It's Gone and Tik Tik Boom can put you on a very good mood! I personally feel like I'm drawn towards the slower songs in this album because they are heartfelt and real.
    My highlights: Perfume, Hold On Tight, Don't Cry, Alien and Passenger.

    Backed up by masters of electronica David Guetta, Diplo and Swedish House Mafia’s Sebastian Ingrosso, they all make sure to drop a storm of ugly, trite and utterly soulless EDM breakdowns and dubstep drops whenever they can.
