will.i.am Executive Producing Britney's 8th CD |
1st May 2013 |
will.i.am has confirmed that he will be the executive producer of Britney's forthcoming eighth album. "After I did a song on Femme Fatale, and then we did 'Scream & Shout,' she really liked the way we worked because of my approach. So they asked me to be involved in, not producing and writing every song, but to be an executive producer on the songs." Britney "really likes Diplo" and will.i.am told her management, "I was like, 'OK, look, guys, me and Britney need to have lunch four times a month for three months before I even try to go in the studio with her. Because we need to talk. We need to talk about what she's excited about in life. I gotta talk about the things that hurt her. I gotta talk about the things that make her concerned - she's a mother. I gotta talk to her about all the things that her fans want to talk to her about. I gotta be the vehicle between her and her fans. We can't do another song about going on the dance floor. Really? Didn't we see a bunch of Britney doing that already? Don't we want to see something that comes from her heart?" will.i.am added that he and Britney have now had almost three months' worth of lunches, and they had a session yesterday that he found "amazing." Although he was unable to offer any sense of a timeline on the album's release, he suggested that the production on his end is moving along fairly quickly. |

From talking to her she’s definitely trying to push the envelope this time, and really talk from a more personal point of view and with Rodney Jerkins by her side I’m hella excited. You're talking about Darkchild, the guy who changes music over and over again and never runs out of ideas." |

britney admits panic attacks on the x factor |
8th September 2012 |
Britney has told "Elle" magazine that the reason she left the stage of The X Factor on the first day was because of panic attacks, saying, "[I was] extremely nervous. I was having panic attack after panic attack. I was extremely nervous the first day. I felt like I was going to come out of my body, but having Demi there and knowing it was her first time, too - just that girl power and everything - really helped. It's the most different thing I've ever done in my career. I've done six or seven tours and a bunch of albums, and I know how all of that works. Actually doing a television show and being a judge is just so new for me, that's why I like it, because it is so different, but I can bring a lot from my experiences. I've been in show business since I was a baby. At a recital when I was 3 years old, I went to the top of the stage, turned around and told everybody they were doing it wrong. I feel I can bring a lot from my experiences of knowing what it takes and what you have to go through, the whole process of the entertainment industry. I can bring a lot of support for these artists and really spot the ones who are the best and do have the potential to fulfill their dreams. A lot of people have amazing voices, but it takes that 'Je ne sais quoi' quality to make them stand out and make us want to watch. I think the most fun thing about this is finding that." |

britney graces "elle" magazine cover october 12 |
5th september 2012 |
Britney appears on the front cover of "Elle" magazine for October 2012, talking about "The X Factor" and her fiancé Jason Trawick, saying it was she that made the first move. "It was kind of one of those things where she moved, like, turned around, so we were face-to-face and then..." says Trawick, before Britney interrupted with, "Okay, that's enough information, sweetie. It was sweet, just say that." On fame, she said, "I guess I've been under the microscope so long that I don't even pay attention to the nonsense anymore. I gave up getting upset about things people make up about me a long time ago." On fashion, Britney added, "I love my jeans and my sweats - I'm really just a tomboy at heart. So it's really hard for me to be like Kim Kardashian and be makeup and hair ready every time I go out of my house. I'm not a believer in that, you know? [Although,] when you do wear those sweats, you're like 'Oh God, I should step it up a notch!'"

4th august 2012 |
 Britney has been speaking about her role on "The X Factor" USA, where she has been dubbed, "The Mean Judge," by Simon Cowell, saying, "It's just who I am and my personality in everyday life; I'm just a very honest person." On harsh feedback she received growing up, she said, "you just ignore it," and added, "I've done eight tours and been in the music industry for a while, I really feel like being able to be on a show where you can give back and help people achieve their dream is just really interesting... it's really different from anything I've ever done. I can relate to them on such a central level because I started out at such a young age." On genres, she said, "I'm actually a big fan of hip hop, I don't rap but I appreciate it and I like cabaret as well. I also love live music and bands." Photographs >> |
