William Orbit Lifts Lid On New Britney Spears Album: ‘She Doesn’t Need Autotune’

Published: Sunday 7th Jul 2013 by David

Last December, fans of ‘I Run Away’ singer Britney Spears landed fresh details on her new album, when ‘Vendetta’ star Elijah Blake revealed that he had been enlisted to help craft it…and shared it’d be her most personal release to date.

Now, in echoing those sentiments, the man behind Madonna‘s ‘Ray of Light’ (William Orbit) has poured fresh details on the hotly anticipated release, revealing that it’ll be void of  auto-tune and packed with ‘great singing’.

More below…

Responsible for creating many an Adult Contemporary hit, Orbit said of his work on Britney’s eighth studio release:

As digits generated by ‘Scream & Shout‘ prove, Britney has no problem shifting singles.

What we’re most interested in, is how the writers and producers called on to make the album find a balance between the personal and the commercial- and how much control Orbit is really being given to create masterpieces for her. For that’s what they’ll be…masterpieces.

Truth be told, with Max Martin and Dr.Luke merely a phone call away, there’s no doubt she’ll have little trouble picking up a few hit singles but the LP’s real glory will lie in its other material.

This, especially if she’s given the chance to use her lower register, and compensate for the lack of auto-tune with harmonies and layering!

So, let us know

Are you looking forward to the new album?

    I’m sorry but her voice isn’t the best without Auto-Tune… She just doesn’t do it for me…Although I like a few of her songs beats…

    • xcbetwyfh July 7, 2013

      ~~ Unbelievable~`Wow~~`My friend Emily has just married to a handsome wealthy black man. They met through ~BlàckWhìteHub. Ç o m ~~ They told me it is a Serious black white dating for black & white single s seeking interracial relationships, friendships, dating ,love and more.. So, if you want to look for people with which you can date, you are at the right place.You can meet(lawyers,busy professionals, benefactors. models, celebrities, and so on….)If you are single, perhaps you can have a try.xcb

    • Truthspeaker July 8, 2013

      Sounds like you need to YouTube some of her past live performances because her voice is actually pretty good without auto tune…

    Britney Spears sure did age terribly. And they say Beyonce looks old. LOL

  4. wtf July 7, 2013

    autotune or not, will she ever perform something live and do that good? 😀

    • Benja July 22, 2013

      Check out her cover of Alanis Morisette’s You Oughta Know! Its actually pretty damn good & its live 🙂

  5. charlie July 7, 2013

    Autotune or not Britney can’t sing and neither can Madonna, so what William needed to say is that he creates good songs regardless of a singer’s singing ability. No need for lies.

    • Britney stan July 7, 2013

      b**** Britney can sing stfu & deal

      • Charlie July 8, 2013

        If you say so. I’ll have to disagree and by looking at the comments so others think the same thing.

      • Charlie July 8, 2013

        An amazing singer!? Okay, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

  6. Brazilian Beyonce!!! July 7, 2013

      LIKE HELL THAT BIMBO DONT NEED AUTOTUNE HONEY!! THAT BLEACHED BLONDE B**** NEEDS ALL THE HELP HER ASS CAN GET!!!

  7. S****** Blonde July 7, 2013

    I’m so excited about her new step, it’s time to have that classic non mainstream album Mrs Spears, i always though that she is talented, she got lost in the shuffle of her label intentions to labeled her a living Barbie but this girl has always been talented, she is the best Pop star after Madonna and Michael Jackson, no one else comes close, Pop at its finest.

    • miao July 7, 2013

      lol

    • JOHNVIDAL July 7, 2013

      Yeah yeah right! Give us some of that thing you´re smoking dahhling…

      • irene46 July 8, 2013

        britney better than janet, whitney, mariah, beyonce, taylor swift etc?! even though christina and kelly clarkson haven’nt sold the numbers that britney has, they’re far better performers. lay off the drugs. they’re killing your brain cells.

  8. steph July 7, 2013

    It’s amazing how they call her a legend. Please, most of her songs are bubble gum pop crap. She does not have a good voice at all. And the last time she was able to dance correctly was in 2004. Her music will always be bubblegum pop trash. Atleast she does have a original voice even if it is terrible! OVERRATED SPEARS P.s. I cant believe this chick has 2 diamond selling albums but Janet Jackson & Michael Jackson & Prince either have 1 or none. SMDH

    • Lovebird July 7, 2013

      Honey, that is two Diamond albums in a role, and ALL her albums have at least got a platinum plaque, she is LEGEND.

      • steph July 7, 2013

        Just because someone has a diamond selling album does not make them a legend. Britney Spears is not on a Prince or Michael Jackson level so why call her a legend. The same name we use to discribe Prince

    • J July 7, 2013

      bubblegum pop?

      umm S**** 4 U, Toxic, Gimme More, Break The Ice, Circus, Me Against The Music..?

    • MuiMui July 7, 2013

      Two Diamonds and who else her age has them that we know of.

    • Lolax July 7, 2013

      Bubble gum pop crap? B**** please listen

      Baby one moretime
      Stronger
      Toxic
      Everytime
      Out from under
      Shattered glass

      Heaven on earth
      Unusual you
      Someday

      Briney is a legend of pop music

      • irene46 July 8, 2013

        @ lovebird…

        has femme fatale sold a million copies in the u s yet? they had the nerve to certify it platinum (485k) before it even actually went gold. as far a diamond albums go at least 69 artists have at least one including a group called ‘meatloaf’. are they legends too.

  9. HOWYOULIKEIT July 7, 2013

    bring back oops i dit it again era

  10. Lovebird July 7, 2013

    I so cannot wait for this album, the waiting is killing me, I know Britney will bring the big guns like she always does, I’ve never heard a bad Britney Spears album, this woman is spectacular.

    • MuiMui July 7, 2013

      True

  12. wtf July 7, 2013

    nice post edit staff.

    doesn’t change a thing. that b**** can’t sing. 😀

    • Lovebird July 7, 2013

      But she still owns your fav and you’ll deal.

    • Lovebird July 7, 2013

      With two diamond plaques in a role, I don’t think she cares.

      • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) July 7, 2013

        LOL! Her caring is not the focus of the post though, it’s whether she NEEDS autotune or not. And looking at the video, proof is CLEARLY in the pudding lol! Don’t get e wrong, she has great hits but this is a hot a*s MESS lol!! #TheStruggle

      • Lovebird July 7, 2013

        She doesn’t need auto-tune, she can sing.

      • Britney stan July 7, 2013

        but Britney doesn’t need it her voice is unique & flawless tbh.

      • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) July 7, 2013

        *Blank stare* Did you watch the video?? Lol. #TheDelusions

      • Britney stan July 7, 2013

    • MuiMui July 7, 2013

      Britney can sing and has the Diamond to prove it and can sell on her name, along.

      • irene46 July 8, 2013

        pleeze! she has background singers giving her big help. not to mention it sounds like her voice may be pre-recorded.

  14. TRUTHTELLER July 7, 2013

    LIES, FAIRYTALES AND FALLACIES!

  15. Dev July 7, 2013

    Thanks for reminding me of the crap pop songs. Urrrh.

  16. Brazilian Beyonce!!! July 7, 2013

    I see no lies she has potential and she’s very beautiful.

  17. Britney stan July 7, 2013

    • MuiMui July 7, 2013

      Yes they are.

  20. Britney stan July 7, 2013

    Britney is legend who deserves her RESPECT.

  21. Jay Jay July 7, 2013

    I love Britney, she has accomplished a lot and been through a lot but if she’s cant do a simple 8 count dance routine then I’m not checking for her.

  22. iForever July 7, 2013

    More fans than stupid haters I see! Good. Miss American Dream is doing well at the moment. Veyry Weel I see!

    I think this album would kick Bey’s ass, Gaga and Rihanna. This album will be like RAY OF LIGHT.
    This year will be the BRITNEY year because she’s THE IT! GIRL. Will win more grammy’s, more vma’s with Scream &Shout and more stuff’ s like that.

    #Living Legend! #You can Look But don’t Touch, HATERS ! xoxox

    • Britney stan July 7, 2013

      Yaaaaaaaaaaas shes comin hard this era

  23. christinastherealtalent July 7, 2013

    Well let’s hear what she sounds like without AUTO TUNE and let us be the judge of that! Otherwise STFU and get back to work.

    Because as I remember correctly, Britney sounds horrible with or without it.

    • iForever July 7, 2013

      And you sound pressed as f*** ! Stay mad, dusty !

      • irene46 July 8, 2013

        and you stay deluded!!

  24. Slayrita Legendora July 7, 2013

    Puh-Lease. Robotney’s career is founded upon autotune. The b**** is only successful cause of her image and nothing else.

    • iForever July 7, 2013

      U mad cause Britney’s career still relevant after 15 years and Rita FlopOra is dead after ……. ohhh wait. she never did something iconic! Stay pressed!

    • JOHNVIDAL July 7, 2013

      Fake dislikes!

      • irene46 July 8, 2013

        fake dislikes is right! more fake and hyped britney popularity.

    • Benja July 22, 2013

      You do realize Rita Ora has spoken about how much Britney Spears influenced her as an artist right??

  25. Bee July 7, 2013

    I’m not a fan of britney but the girl has a good voice she’s doesn’t have a strong voice but who cares? The fact of the matter is she’s still slaying when it comes selling singled & albums for a artist who doesn’t promote, & before you say she can’t sing do your research like I did you might be shock hell the video sam put up shows this girl has some talent, if this is personal like they saying I might actually by this record she should have alot to speak about!!!

  26. TITTYPOPPOP July 7, 2013

    Her hairline and forehead look real messed up in that photo…..

  27. JOHNVIDAL July 7, 2013

    “Great singing”??? He could have used other words for sure… 🙂

    • S****** Blonde July 7, 2013

      Vete a correr con los toros cariño!!!!!!

      • JOHNVIDAL July 8, 2013

        Did I lie though? lol So is she a “great singer” in your oipinion?
        No me gustan los toros hun. Anything related to that It´s not for me and it´s not for way more than half of Spain´s population

  28. ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) July 7, 2013

    I truly want to know something and don’t take this as shade; but is it true you have to give up your ability to reason and use logic when you stan for someone??? Just want to know honestly…

    • Monstarebel July 7, 2013

      Not true im a Rihanna stan i know how to take criticism from others im not delusional i know she doesn’t have the best voice out there i dont pretend to act like she does as fans & stans we should always be honest with our favs 😉

    • Kyle July 7, 2013

      No. But some people just do without realizing.

  29. Ke$has crazy kid July 7, 2013

    Britney has a phenomenal voice tbh. Plus shes the new queen of pop.

    • S****** Blonde July 7, 2013

      There’s no new Queen of Pop, Madonna will always be the Queen and Britney will always be the Princess.

    • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) July 7, 2013

      Her voice isn’t phenominal but yes, she is the new queen of pop.

      • irene46 July 8, 2013

        janet is the queen! britney is a janet wanna be even if she has outsold janet in album sales!! janet still is the best!!!

  30. Brazilian Beyonce!!! July 7, 2013

    @lovebird I don’t exactly hate you, but if you were on fire and I had water, I’d drink it.

  31. Monstarebel July 7, 2013

    If Britney didn’t need auto tune why doesn’t she ever sing live?

  32. Brazilian Beyonce!!! July 7, 2013

    @MonstaRebel THE EARTH IS FULL GO HOME!!. Lmao I’m kidding but I do get your point babe…

  33. christinastherealtalent July 7, 2013

    I honestly think though if Britney had more control over her music and image and didn’t have that conservatorship weighing her down she’d be able to flourish more as an artist. She never fully recovered from her meltdown. If she had more freedom in her music, I would definitely become a fan again.

  34. Bey Fan July 7, 2013

    Brit has diamond records and was a force in pop music….

    with that being said….she cant sing…. she may not need auto tune…. but she is nobody’s vocalist.

    Doesn’t make her less of a pop star…..but cmon. Lets be honest, she cant sing live.

    • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) July 7, 2013

      I think she has a more unique voice than Beyonce.

      • Gilberto July 7, 2013

        It’s funny when we point that someone can’t sing and a basic b**** pops up saying that that person has “an unique voice”. What? Ex-f******-cuse me, b****! Unique voice stands to NO VOCALS. Stop misusing terms to make someone looks better than he/she really is.

  35. A bit confused July 7, 2013

    William Orbit always does this. He goes on social networking sites and then talks up his material like it’s amazing, life-changing and then it comes out okay, but mediocre (see whatever he did on the MDNA album, the generic Chris Brown don’t wake me up song, etc.).

    If he understood Britney, he would understand that she NEVER “needed” autotune. Autotune was used as an effect, a way to convey different emotions.

  36. rih rox July 7, 2013

    I love the old Britney. Way before all the nonsense.

  37. JER July 8, 2013

    I love Britney, but sis needs a bit of autotune. Britney is not a vocalist, she’s an entertainer. The vocal production of her voice since In the Zone is pretty flawless tbh. I live for BritneyBot5000
