She was still finding her style, en fact you can hear a more grown Britney in the lead single as well as the same sweet Britney of the previous two albums in "That's Where You Take Me".… Full Review »

It's sad that this was her first album to not have a top ten hit in the US, but I think the US wasn't ready for "sexy" Britney yet. The singles were successful in other territories, so maybe Americans were still trying to hold on to the "innocent" Britney. The album was released only a year and a half after Oops!...I Did it Again, so maybe it was slightly ahead of its time.It was definitely a transition album for her, though, with I'm a Slave 4 U and Boys having R&B and hip-hop vibes to them, but it still gave us those typical girl power/coming of age anthems that we love, like Overprotected, Cinderella (my personal favorite off the album, and one of the tracks that she co-wrote), I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman, and What It's Like to be Me. It's definitely full of songs that you will want to sing you heart out to in the car!… Full Review »
