Do Somethin'

I'm sorry my obsession with this song has become an even deeper obsession. Well, since my first book out till now, I've been listening to this song non-stop. And I'm sorry to say... I haven't stopped listening!

A big thank you to Zhi Wei because the song you're listening to is courtesy of him. Well, I stole it without asking for permission but I'm sure he won't mind!

A bit more on the single and its success worldwide. BTW I stepped into HMV a few days ago and THIS was the #1 single. Beat that.

Music Week Review:
BRITNEY SPEARS
Do Something (Jive 82876682132)Britney reunites with Toxic producers Bloodshy and Avant for this impressively bold slab of electro-pop in which the singer's assertive vocal is fused with a series of industrial-sounding squelches and a distinctive rhythm element that serves to remind the world that Britney is still very much top of her game.

BBC Review:
BBC: Britney's follow-up to November's cover of Bobby Brown's 80s classic "My Prerogative" heads in a completely new musical direction for Britney. "Do Somethin'" breaks new ground in Britney's career, with a new "electric pop" style, similar to that of Gwen Stefani and Girls Aloud. Taken from her multi-platinum "Greatest Hits: My Prerogative" collection and with a funky, colourful video, Britney may have her 6th UK number 1 in sight.

Opening with a high-pitched, electric rift and Britney cutting in with her usual prelude vocals, you may be fooled into thinking that this is just going to be another mediocre track. However, you'd be mistaken. With it's addictive chorus, hot baselines and catchy instrumental, this is definately one of Britney's finest moments. Forget Britney's attempts at covering past hits, this is Britney as we want her, producing catchy, fun pop records. Even if this track isn't your style prepare to hear it everywhere you go, because just like her #1 hit "Toxic" did this time last year, "Do Somethin'" is going to be on every radio station when you tune in, guaranteed.

Just to add to the hype, Britney is coming to the UK later this month to promote "Do Somethin'" along with her new perfume, "Curious". Let the media frenzy begin."
