More From JR Rotem About 5th Album |
25th April 2006 |
| JR Rotem has been speaking in more depth about his work with Britney for her 5th album, saying, "Working with Britney is great, I mean, she’s very talented and she’s just like a veteran, even though she’s young, she’s been performing and doing things for like 20 years. When you get in the studio with her, she’s focused; she knows how her voice is. Even writing, we wrote a song and I was really impressed by her creativity and how well she knows herself. She’s just dope, she’s a veteran. It’s still 'pop' music, it’s still very her, it’s just next level Britney. We’re working on a few different songs, some are just, it’s hard to explain, like dark and dramatic, others are more dance and still others are just straight club - hip-hop people can feel it - and 'pop'." As well as hits for Rihanna, 50 Cent and Lil' Kim, JR co-wrote and produced "America's Most Hated" with Britney's husband, Kevin Federline. |

"People" Report On Britney's Dance Class |
6th April 2006 |
"Britney found a good way to shed those post-baby pounds when she taught two free jazz-hip-hop dance classes for kids at the Malibu Academy of Dance recently. Wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt, Britney instructed a packed house of 88 students, ranging in age from 7 to 14. She played a new remix of the Eurythmics song "Here Comes the Rain Again," and one of her own tunes that's likely to be on her next album. Then she went into action, showing the students a series of dance moves. "(Britney) did a step called The Monkey, and she did a little squeak at the end of it," studio owner Steve Chase told us. "It had all the kids laughing. She was incredibly sweet with them, and called everyone 'baby.' " And Spears brought a very special guest: son Sean Preston, to whom the school gifted a basket of Lyla Blu t-shirts. And it wasn't a one-shot deal: The next day, the pop diva returned solo and taught the same routine to another class. "Britney lives close by so I think she did it as a way of giving back to her community," says Chase, who added that she would definitely be back to help her young fans with some more fancy footwork."
