Britney Gets 'Just A Little Freaky' On In The Zone

"He made me come across in such a horrible light. You suck, reporter!" — Britney Spears on the author of her recent Rolling Stone piece


Britney Spears laughs at the thought that she could've found time for a break recently. "[Only] if you call three weeks a hiatus," she said. "I've been recording my booty off."

As her forthcoming In the Zone (formerly Get in the Zone) nears completion, the pop star is working her booty overtime, already mapping out plans for remixes galore of her first single, "Me Against the Music," featuring Madonna. The RedZone-produced track has been sent to several producers, including Outkast and Madonna mixer Peter Rauhofer.

"We've hooked up [again], but I've learned not to talk about my personal life," Britney said of Madonna, laughing. "But basically that song is about just being in a club and being oblivious to everyone and just zoning out and just freestyling. And it's me and that beat."

Spears has been known to hit the New York clubs to let DJs preview her new songs, and she even performed a surprise nightclub act in Las Vegas earlier this month (see "Britney Romps On Bed, Loses Her Shirt At Surprise Vegas Show"). For the most part, though, the new tunes have been kept tightly under wraps. "My music hasn't been out," she said. "I've been recording the whole time. It's like a big deal for me. It's my baby."

In her Vegas act, Spears previewed "Breathe on Me," which earned more of the trip-hop comparisons her new work has been getting while also emphasizing the sensuality she's been hinting at recently. "It's very vibe-y, trance-y," she said. "['Breathe on Me'] is basically about being with a guy and not even having to really be with each other, but just the intensity and the anxiety between not saying anything. You don't even have to touch me, just breathe on me."

The most erotic song, however, in Spears' new repertoire just might be "Touch of My Hand" (see "Britney Previews LP, Denies Rumors Of 'Cry Me A River' Response"). "I think it's tastefully done," Spears said of the track. "And I think it's real. It's nice and it's real. It's whatever your take is. Some people may think it's a little much, but that's where I'm at with my life. ... It's not freaky freaky, it's just a little freaky."

Spears has been putting forth a more adult image in print as well, posing nude for a New York Times Magazine fashion spread and appearing topless in Elle UK and Rolling Stone. The upcoming issue of Esquire promises to be equally racy, with a teaser in this month's issue that she'll be "wearing nothing more than her smile."

"As far as photo shoots go, W, Rolling Stone, whatever, the pictures are really sexy," she said, "but actually, when I did the photo shoots, I was sometimes in ball gowns and nice dresses, and of course they used the pictures where I'm half nude. ... The one [on the cover of Rolling Stone], that was my first time ever to be on the cover of a magazine and not have my top on.

"People like the pictures, I like the pictures, but I hate the interview," she continued. "[Writer Mark Binelli] was so rude, I almost got up and left. He made me come across in such a horrible light. You suck, reporter! And I'm not afraid to say that, because he was really wrong. He hurt my feelings. And I wouldn't even bring it up because I'm giving him my energy and he doesn't deserve my energy. I went on a rampage. Sorry about that."

Going on a rampage — that, too, is part of the new, more adult Britney. "I know to speak up more," she said, "and I know what I want more. There's so much going on in my world, behind the music, you have to be more involved."

A video shoot for "Me Against the Music" is slated for early October in New York, and the clip is set to premiere October 13 on "Making the Video." In the Zone drops November 18.

"Girls hurt worse, but guys hurt longer!

We sat down with Britney to talk about love (how to get over heartache[, life (she loves to shop) and her new album!

The '"Cry Me A River" Scandal

It was a little awkward, a little weird at first, but people have to deal with things in certain ways, and maybe that's the way Justin had to deal with what was going on.

Advice For Girls In Her Shoes

Just always remember that girls hurt worse, but guys hurt longer. Girls deal, get over it and once you're done, you are done. But guys hurt longer.

Getting Back At Him

Oh, no. I would never kiss and tell. I just think that's so self-serving and distasteful. And I just think once you put yourself out there...With the last album, I got a little personal. I touched on a personal, vulnerable side just a little bit. I think it's a cool thin to do sometimes, but I think sometimes you need to take care of yourself and leave some things for you.

Dealing With Heartache

Get a bunch of girlfriends around. Have fun. Eat a ton of ice cream. Go to the movies. Sit around and talk stupid stuff. You know, just indulge yourself.


Word Association with Britney

Check out her revealing responses!

We Said: - She Said:

Music - Robin Thicke
Family - Safe Haven
Celeb Crush - Colin Farrell
Friends - Fun, Crazy
Love - Butterflies
Justin - Funny
Fashion - Urban Outfitters
Fame - Fun
Tattoos - Painful but Delightful


Breakup Music

I don't like sappy music when I'm going through heartache. I would just have an emotional breakdown and just completely cry! Upbeat music gets me through. Madonna's Immaculate Collection, . "Express Yourself," "Live To Tell," "Cherish," "Holiday," all those songs. Old '80's music is really good for breakups.

Moving On

When you're dating someone, it's give and take. That's what a relationship is all about. But once you're single, it's nice again to be kind of like 'You know what, I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm not going to ask you what movie to see, I'm going to go see a movie I want to see.' It's that feeling of independence, which is cool.

Love Lessons

Love is such a funny thing to me. It's a beautiful thing, but sometimes I look at love and it's like, the feeling of just being so vulnerable and letting someone in...it's so beautiful, but at the same time, once your worlds don't really meet...Sometimes you can be completely in love with someone, but you're at two different places in your life, and you just don't sync up, and it's a really hard thing to cut that off sometimes. But I think it's worth it, too. I think you should go ahead and take the risk and take a chance and put yourself out there because it's an amazing feeling.

To get her mind off boys, Brit says she loves to shop at her fave stores Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie. (w/ the new album photo)

The New Britney

I think I'm still kind of the same person, but' I'm just a little more experienced with what I'm doing. With my music, being in the studio for so long, I know where I'm coming from artistically in a better way. From experience, you become a little bit more comfortable in your skin. This album is something that I had to do for me, so as long as I'm happy with it and I really believe in it, I think that's what matters.


Like you, stars also deal with...

...killing time at the airport!

Britney Spears breezed through the airport (JFK) with her entourage in tow as she heads for her gate.

Realizing she's a little early, Britney stops for some treats and a magazine (probably M).

Britney's shopping stop was just what she neede to make waiting for her plane much easier.


Truth Or Rumor?

Got gossip? We hunt down the facts for you!

Is Britney seeking revenge on Justin?

The Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz romance was the talk of the summer. Then Britney was seen hanging out with Cameron's ex, Jared Leto! Could it be that Brit is getting back at Justin? Nah, Britney simply happened to run into Jared at Dolce Restaurant (Ashton Kutcher's digs). So, they're not dating? 'Oh God no," says Britney. "Jared and I are totally just friends.!"

Truth | Rumor X

Did Britney test her new songs in a club?

Yup, she did! Britney tells M that she was checking out the crowd in a NYC dance club with friends when she got the idea to play a few new tunes from her upcoming CD. "I'm not normally the type of person to do stuff like that," says Britney. But she was was curious to see how people would react. "I was nervous!" says Brit. "Surprisingly, their fave song was the one I thought they'd like least!"

X Truth | Rumor

'Me against the music'
The duet with Madonna that was written by both her and Britney. It's a pumped up dance beat and also the first single. Sounds very sexy with the the traditional Madonna trademark.

'Breathe on me'
Moaning, pulsating heartbeats and a production that will transfer all of your thoughts to Kylie Minogue's 'Can't Get you out of my head'. Britney sings a double standard about feelings in her body that she cannot understand. But everybody does...

'Touch of my hand'
This one is straight forward. We're talking masturbation. Britney sings about doing herself and that it's no sin. The song has a mix of funk elements with violins which will come out as an effective hook for the listeners and fans.

'Showdown'
Pumped up heartbeats and oriental melodies. It's like Club Music meets 'A Thousand and One Night'. A refined combination, hmm, wonder what the older fans will think of this one....

'Outrageous'
R Kelly's collaboration to the CD can easily be compared to a booty call. Britney sings about touching her body, and how her panties feel inside her sexy jeans. This track will be redone before the album release.

'Chaotic'
Sounds like a Prince song, but a little bit more plastic. That's all there is to say.

'Toxic'
Purebred club music spiced with vibrating guitar tunes that bring your thoughts to a panoramic western movie. Britney talks about married men.

How has your sound changed?
I wanted something very exciting and hypnotic and so I chose collaborators like Moby, Red Zone and R.Kelly to make real what I wanted. The work has been easy: I told them my ideas and they developed their intuitions. Then we needed to choose.

- Why Madonna?
It's been a natural thing. I've always liked her, we performed together too recently, at the VMAs. She listened to my single, Me against the music, and she liked it. Some years ago we wanted to make a duet, but we couldn't do that because of our hard work. Working with her has been a great experience. We met in the studio: she recorded her 'take' and I did mine. And then we compared eachother. She brought some nice melodic intuitions, an exciting interpretation. She works in a very artisitc way, she really impressed me!

- Your new songs are very hot, very sexy. There isn't the romanticism that was on the last albums. Are you afraid of what can the american adult people say?
I think sex also is a feeling for me, and I've never made albums to please the adults or the parents: I'm an artist and I follow my way, I only want to express myself, as I like it.

- What are your new inspiration sources?
Usual ones: life experiences, the ones that you accumulate in your life.

- In some songs you feel the influence of an indian sound, a'la Panjabi...
It comes from the fact that I like dancing, I like sophisticated rhythms, and I find that kind of sonority very sensual, particularly sexy.

- R.Kelly, Moby, Red Zone... can you tell something about your producers?
Moby, R.Kelly, they all have a different touch, a different vibe. I'll change for sure something in Outrageous, the song produced by R.Kelly. I like the music, but I'll change something in the lyrics, I don't feel them mine. (the song says 'I wanna be outrageous... when I move my body... my sexy job... simply being a girl...)

- Will Daft Punk be in your album?
No. I did some musical experiments with them, just that.

- Is it true that you'll be in the remake of 'Dukes of Hazzard'?
No, absolutely no.

- Fred Durst said that there isn't a new Britney, but you've always been fond of good life, parties, alcool, etc...
I'm a person who loves having fun, and honestly, i also like being out of control. I've never did it a lot because i've always been very busy in my tours and in my activity. When you have to perform you have responsibilities for the audience. There's the right moment to let go, but it really has to be the right one.

- What do you think about your president Bush?
As an American I think you should offer all the support he needs in these moments.


And here's the review of the 7 tracks that previewed before the press conference:

Me against the music (featuring Madonna, produced by Red Zone)
Madonna's filtered voice introduces the new single, built on a very complex textured groove and circular. Layers of beat and breakbeat are placed one upon another, while the Queen invites Britney to the 'competition': "are you ready? I'm losing control, come over here I got something to show you...". Before the chorus, an invitation to dance dedicated to the people "who wants more", Britney sings a pair of lines in a single flow, a typical virtuosity of the electropop in the Eighties. Keyboards appear in the bridge, that breaks for a moment the run towards the "zone", that point, where you need "a minute" to "take on".

Breathe on me (produced by Mark Taylor)
This time the beat is sharp, dark, regular. And Britney tries to play Donna Summer on this beat, whispering abandonedly phrases like "heeeey, I need your touch". I feel love, 25 years after.

Showdown (produced by Bloodshy and Avant)
This time Jamaica inspires the synthetic rhythm, especially reaggae. The lyric substance is like the described before songs', the style is the usual whisper blown in the ears.

Touch of my hand (produced by Jimmy Harris and Shep Solomon)
A celtic violin introduces the song and inserts constantly in it in a regular beat. The melody is more present, but however it isn't airy, and guides a development towards a final crescendo where Britney's voice, at the limit of the orgasmic, ends in the harmonizing in a chorus and some electronic comes (Mirwais docet).

Chaotic (produced by Bloodshy and Avant)
A triple ascending beat scans all the songs, a constant reference on which a lot of rhythmic impulses stratify and a sample of a sharp electic guitar stands out. Britney sings in a dense spoken word and whispered as usual, throwing sometimes a freeing scream. The chorus, sung in a higher tonality, makes the song more enthusiatic and solar, with a counterpoint of a bridge with a 'sick' beat, almost like the one which comes from a knocked down woofer.

Outrageous (produced by R.Kelly)
The 'black' mark impresses in the album thanks to the controverse - and incriminated - black crooner. It's the word outrageous, continuously repeated, which defines with its accents the song's ryhthm. Accents where Britney wedges to let us know that " I want to be outrageous... when I move my body... Like a girl". To check, Britney too wants to correct it.

Toxic (produced by Bloodshy and Avant)
And here Britney's team played dirty. It's impossible not to recognize in the beginning the copy of "shock the monkey" by Peter Gabriel, camouflaged among lots of beats, samples of balcanic tunes, a digital sitar and even a 'western' guitar a'la Chris Isaak. Quotation or trick? We had no time to ask that to Britney, but the appointment is only postponed.
