Robbie Daw presents a weekly pop music update
here on Towleroad! Robbie runs his own site called Chart
Rigger.
There are no doubt some Britney Spears fans amongst the readers of Towleroad, so it's time to
turn it over to you guys. What do you think of Circus?
Her sixth studio album, Circus is out today, one month shy of the 10-year
anniversary of her debut ...Baby One More Time's release date. Britney was in Europe
last week promoting the album by performing current single "Womanizer" on television shows such
as France's Star Academy and U.K. talent competition The X Factor.
The video for her Dr. Luke/Benny Blanco-produced new single "Circus" premieres this Friday on
Entertainment Tonight. It was directed by Francis Lawrence, who previously did Spears'
"I'm A Slave 4 U" clip.
Circus also sees Britney reunited with Swedish hitmaker Max Martin—albeit on
one song, "If U Seek Amy"—who crafted her classic singles "...Baby One More
Time," "(You Drive Me) Crazy" and "Oops!...I Did It Again."
STANDOUT: For casual listeners, the main cut worth checking out is the dreamy
dance jam "Unusual You." It was produced by Bloodshy & Avant, the duo behind Britney's
award-winning hits "Piece Of Me" and "Toxic." How this wasn't the second (or first)
single is anyone's guess.
Finally, happy birthday, Britney.
A FEW CLIPS FOR THE WEEK:
BRITNEY SPEARS: Doing new single "Circus" today morning on Good Morning America.
THE KILLERS: "Losing Touch," the opening track off new album Day & Age, live on
FUSE.
MGMT: Performing "Kids" on French television show Le Grand Journal De Canal+ on
Thanksgiving Day.
"KIDS," A CAPPELLA: As done by Northfield, Minnesota's Carleton Singing Knights of Carleton
College.
Petite mise en situation avant la “critique”.. Prenez d’un coté
Fania, le mithique label de Salsa New-Yorkaise, comptant entre autre
Peter Rodriguez et son succulant “I Like it Like That”, et de
l’autre un collectif de remixeurs avec la creme des Djs & Producteur actuels allant de
Gilles Peterson à 4Hero en passant par DJ Format et Louie
Vega.
De tels ingrédients avec de tels cuisiniers, hum j’en ai déjà
l’eau à la bouche…
Cette double compilation (les remixes + les originaux) offre la fine pointe d’une musique
urbaine, aussi diversifié que le terme le suppose, à des titres mythique. Les remix
de ce groupe chevauchent le funk latin jusqu’au Hip Hop et nous offrent des perles
vivifiantes comme celles de I Like It Like That ou Moris Park.

Crush/a like crystal balls. They sometimes try to hide this fact, but they really do, they go to
the park all by themselves with their crystals. But maybe it's this connection to nature that makes
it all the better when they write songs in completely the other direction- a perfect example of
which is "Get Digital" which is coming out very soon, along with a number of really great remixes-
one of which I did with my friend Mazdha. But I'm getting ahead of myself- they just released my
favorite Purple Crush song of all time, "Busy Boys" - and they're sharing one of the outtathisworld
remixes from the EP with all of yous. br /br /It comes from Lawrence, Kansas' own a

black hoodie rap," Jay begins, not "black superhero music". Still, West has crafted a percussive,
slickly cinematic backing track, and Jay sounds awesomely slippery, raising his voice to the
squeaking point at times and even playing with a Caribbean accent en route to an emAnnie/em
reference. Santogold mostly just does the one-note hook, but she finds time for a rap-cadenced
sing-song verse repping Bed-Stuy. Where Brooklyn at? It's here if you listen, but not quite in all
of its glory (such as it is). (via a
