BRITNEY SPEARS HOPES TO GET HER LIFE
BACK ON TRACK WITH THE RELEASE OF HER
NEW ALBUM, CIRCUS, TOMORROW
BRITNEY Spears says her life is so dull under her father’s watchful eye that she feels old and boring. With her new album, Circus, out tomorrow, the 26-year-old singer is working on a comeback. This is after her life spiralled out of control with a run of strange behaviour, a bitter custody battle over her two sons and the loss of her rights to administer her own affairs. Womanizer, the fi rst single from Circus, reached the top of Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart in October. The album is set for worldwide release tomorrow, the singer’s 27th birthday, and she plans to tour this spring to promote it. Spears is one of the top-selling artistes of the last decade with current worldwide sales of 62 million albums. Her previous releases included …Baby One More Time (1999); Oops! ... I Did It Again (2000); Britney (2001); In the Zone (2003) {did they miss Greatest Hits on purpose?} and Blackout (2007). On being under her father’s supervision and watch, she told Rolling Stone in an interview for the music magazine’s Dec 11 issue: “I feel like an old person now. I do! I go to bed at, like, 9.30 every night and I don’t go out or anything, you know what I mean? I just feel like an old maid.” Last year, the Louisiana native was a near-constant figure on the Hollywood party scene. She shaved her head, then wore a pink wig and spoke with a fake British accent. By early this year, she was hospitalised twice for psychiatric evaluation. In February, a California court named her father as a conservator of her estate, giving Jamie Spears control over her personal and business affairs. Since then, she seems to have put her life back in order.
In excerpts posted online recently, the story Britney Returns (www.rollingstone. com/news/coverstory/24612561) details limitations put on her life by her conservatorship and notes she is watched constantly by guards hired by her father.
The interviewer was restricted from asking Britney about her troubled months. Instead, she talks about her current life and going on chaperoned dates with men who failed to impress her. She jokingly describes one as “an older version of Harry Potter but skinnier”. Spears also discusses being a mum to her two sons, Sean Preston, three, and Jayden, two, whom she sees three days a week. “To be a really good mum, I feel your
child needs to be your full-time job,” Spears told the magazine. “I want to raise my kids and share all of those precious moments with them.”
According to Spears, fans can expect her best music in this album. As for the sound of Circus, she said she worked with talented people who helped her take her songs to the next level. “I think it is more urban. I’m working with producers who are just amazing,” she added. “There is this fresh new
energy.” The pop star wasn’t only just in the studio last summer. Britney also found time to tape a video segment for Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet tour singing an excerpt from Madge’s Human Nature. As if recording a new album and guest-starring in Madonna’s tour weren’t enough, Spears also closed out the summer, sweeping the MTV VMA Awards, winning three awards, including video of the year. In addition, she took the Bambi for best
international pop star in Berlin last week, given by the Hubert Burda Media group, in recognition of her “comeback from an absolute low point” in her career. – Reuters
