New Songs: Britney Spears – ‘Gimme More’ / Cold As Fire

I know you don’t usually see Britney Spears around these sides and neither do I have a particular interest in her music, yet it’s evident her ‘comeback’ is an event in itself. Two new tracks from her forthcoming album have surfaced today; first single ‘Gimme More’ and ‘Cold As Fire’ (written by T-Pain).

Nate ‘Danjahandz’ Hills (’Promiscuous’, ‘SexyBack’ etc) produced ‘Gimme More’, which is slated to be Britney’s comeback single. I’m liking the track’s urban/electro feel – it sits comfortably next to a lot of Rihanna’s most recent material. Though the song is nothing groundbreaking, it should do enough to earn her another hit.

Having listened to the second track, ‘Cold as Fire’, it’s evident which direction she’s opted to take – a Pop/R&B/Electro fusion. The track, which was written by T-Pain (damn…he’s on everything!), is ‘ok’ – it seems like a grower.

What do you think: Hits or Misses?

Solange Inks Deal With EMI

After establishing herself as a successful song-writer, Solange Knowles has signed a worldwide co-publishing deal with EMI Records. Having already co-penned hits for her sister Beyonce (’Get Me Bodied’, ‘Upgrade U’ etc), the deal will see Solange earn a nice percentage of rights to any song she (co)writes. She will also receive more writing opportunties for other artists. The youngest of the Knowles clan is currently in the studio recording her sophomore album ‘Solange & The Hadley Street Dreams’. {Source}

Though Solange has mainly written in-house for Music World artists i.e. Beyonce, Kelly Rowland etc, this is definitely a good look for her. Hate on them all you want, but you can’t deny the Knowles’ work ethic – everyone’s doing their thing. I know Matthew ain’t standing for no freeloading LeToya Jackson’s in his family lol.

Your thoughts?
