good evening! i had a lovely day off today - i got to see spring awakening for the 2nd time - i'll be doing a post on how sitting on the stage played out! right now we've got a leak - a brand new britney spears track has hit the web - kill the lights which is off her upcoming album circus dropping on her birthday december 2nd (i'm quite sure the whole album will be leaked soon...keep your eyes peeled) it's a fun and upbeat track that speaks to brit's often contentious relationship w/ the paparazzi (except for when she was dating lame ass adnan ghalib - we all know she was totally out of her skull when that all went down...) i do like the track - it's a decent follow-up to womanizer...although it almost doesn't sounds like ms. spears - her voice definitely was tweaked out to the max - have a listen for yourself below (plus i posted the lyrics) popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
"kill the lights"
performed by britney spears
produced by danja
danja intro [radio news break]

I really liked "Kill the Lights". It sounds real different but still upbeat, which has always been good for her. If the rest of the CD is like this, this CD is going to be a great one. Keep up the good work, Brit.
