    Britney Spears - Glory é incrivel e não sou fã dela, gostei muito mesmo. Um dos melhores de 2016 e milhoes de vezes melhor que o ultimo album dela que foi um fiasco, parabéns britney.

    Um dos melhores álbuns de 2016 e um dos melhores da Britney sua voz é na frente, ela prova-se como um cantor pro estúdio, e este som é bonito e moderno, este é que os fãs de álbuns têm esperado e os críticos precisam ouvir !

    "Glory" is an incredible album. Britney's voice looks so good, the lyrics and the rhythms are amazing. We have songs like "Do you wanna come over?", "Liar", "Clumsy" or "Love me Down" to dance, and other songs more "relaxing" like "Slumber Party", "Change your mind (no seas cortés)" or "Invitation"...

    Glory is a shameless pop album in which Spears has made a clear creative impact working with some of the best producers at the moment. Glory features a cohesive masterpieces in the form of Do You Wanna Come Over and Change Your Mind which sadly mean that some less punchy songs such as Better are overshadowed by greatness. Glorious!

    Finally Britney giving us some mature, sexy as hell music. Songs like Do you wanna come over?, Better, Invitation, Slumber Party and pretty much every song on the album are intoxicating. We need more of this from Britney, she is undoubtedly on her way back to join Beyonce, Rihanna in the upper echelon of pop music.

Das inúmeras tentativas de ser uma mulher fatal "Private Show" é a mais bem sucedida com tudo que uma música pop precisa para estourar nas rádios hoje em dia. É claro que ainda temos as faixas que são totalmente comerciais e dispensáveis como "Do you wanna come over" e "Slumber Party" mas elas não tomam o espaço de "Love Me Down" e "What you need" que mostram maturidade de uma cantora pop que sabe o que está fazendo.… Expand

    This album makes me happy. After Britney Jean's flop, Britney's on the right track for pop domination (again) with this album. Really inspired by the new pop, great producers. For me, Britney's there to make me dance, I ask nothing more from her, and she's delivering with this "In the zone" inspired album.

Maybe it won't win a Grammy but it gave us the real Britney back!… Expand

Many years later, in his ninth album in a career as erratic as lying in artistic terms, that girl with air dirty travesty of innocence is gone, but his quest for maturity ran into a bad repertoire as those of yore.

    Yes, Britney Spears reappeared trying to show a maturing as artificial as a vase full of plastic flowers.

    The whole thing starts by its cover, which appears as a version of "chic haired scarecrow" of Jennifer Lopez. When the first track, "Invitation", starts playing, can you draw that Britney calls for his hypothetical maturity trying to emulate that introspective / electronic side that Beyonce and many others show some time in their jobs, far more interesting and genuine way, tell by the way. It is a bad sign of what's next? No doubt about it ...

    "Make Me ..." brings the participation of rapper G-Eazy - well, he calls himself this way, but no more than a white boy lying - which adds absolutely nothing to this pathetic song whose melodic and harmonic sequence has been heard in dozens of other songs within the same harvest pop
    In "Private Show" and "Man on the Moon," Britney sings like a Gweni Stefani flu. His voice is so 'robotics' because of the numerous tuning software that have the impression that she is twelve metal balls stuck in the throat. The song itself is a silly with light touches of soul, in which bet on simplicity with the use of few instruments and a half timbragem 'vintage' to disguise the total emptiness of the letter and the very ... er ... 'interpretation' of girl. If she thought she could pass the maturity print, spent ridiculous.
    "Just Luv Me" can be described as "cheap perfume advertising music sung by a slapper working on a phone sex pretending to be a 16 year old girl," a simply disgusting thing in terms of pop falsehood. In "Clumsy" she tries to imitate the timbre of the English singer Duffy in a song with timbragem "Eurodance" so abominable that makes you want to throw up a purple-green goo. She returns to do the same in "What You Need", with less compelling results, since the song has a retro air with a strong British influence and serves almost as a balm for the remaining aberrations festival. Even worse is when it gets to sing like Kylie Minogue in a crap titled "Do You Wanna Come Over," weaker than Nescau diluted in the water tank of a building.
    But nothing beats the mix of r & b plastic, bossa nova and reggae "Slumber Party", one of the most gruesome songs that emerged in this galaxy in the last three million years. With a completely wrong arrangement, letterheads instruments by a deaf marmot and a letter apparently composed of a retarded teenager who just discovered masturbation, is one of those bombs that even someone just clueless as Britney could record. Other Babylonian crap are "Love Me Down," an R & B with Jamaican pinches that makes the No Doubt sound like Led Zeppelin and "Just Like Me", which even begins with a guitar rustic and interesting sound, but that empties in other electronic pop very weak.

    Glory just have a moment of salvation: "Hard to Forget Ya". It is hidden at the end of the album - is the penultimate track standard edition - and has everything a good cançãopop have to have, that is, has a strong chorus, weight, a line of vocal choice, tense and almost aggressive, alternating with a softness placed in the right dose. Too bad she in no way served as a reference for the remaining disk.

    With a production that could not be pasteurized in times pseudocantoras trying to portray "mature artists" - in which case it is a totally unfunny joke - Glory is another terrible chapter in the artistic farce that Britney Spears always was.    … Expand

    Terrible music for club raiding tools. They basically strapped her face to a machine in a music factory and changed/fixed her voice as she did the first take. The lyrics make me want to knock my head on a hard surface in order to get a concession. Anything to escape this soulless music and contrived and low grade lyrics.

    Her best since In the Zone and Blackout. Glory takes inspiration, it explores. Britney breaks away from the bubblegum pop persona she has been forced into since 2007.

    This is a welcome comeback to Spears having control of her own music and being able to experiment with her sound. She actually sounds ALIVE and into her music. This is definitely worth picking up. You will not regret it.    Her best since In the Zone and Blackout. Glory takes inspiration, it explores.

    8. Slumber Party - This is different, this is alive. Definite single material!
    9. Just Like Me - her vocals really shine
    12. What You Need - Britney proves the naysayers. She does have a voice and she knows how to use it.

    'Glory' its just Britney at her best. She just does what she does best, sing some casual pop.
    While 'Better', 'Slumber Party' and 'Liar' are the most dancing and energetic powerfull songs, 'Man on the moon' shows a sweet and relaxed side that we haven't seen since 2007.

However i do have to say it has alot of resemblance to Selena Gomez's REVIVAL (2015). So before taking an album out Spears or her label should have seen that an album close to Glory already exists and is not very old, since its a good contender for Best Pop Vocal album. However as far as Grammys for Glory is concerned, she is not one of the strongest contenders with this album for any nomination but maybe for Best Pop Vocal Album but i highly doubt that. She has Sia, Adele, Selena, Justin and Ariana who have a greater chance in being nominated this year.… Expand

    If "Blackout" was innovation, "Glory" is redemption.

    Here Britney doesn't try to bring us a new music paradigm. In this album, Britney tries to give us joy in a time when she's in a good place, probably, in her own glory, one full of uncomplicated and easy things, as she is.

    In this position, Brit is ready to send us an invitation to reach our own glory; or at least, something close to that. As she says in the first track, "feel my energy"; and as we can suppose, a glorious one.

    This album has a simple but effective concept: be part of Britney's intimacy. Obviously, this intimate invitation is full of sexual content, but it's more than that. It is the unpretentious story that we can hear along the 17 tracks on the album which includes some sparks of living, nostalgia, sadness and liberation.

    "Glory" starts just cleverly, with an "Invitation" to set us free, -something that nobody would deny attending, right? This is the main message of the whole production. In this first track, we can find lyrics that are beautifully accompanied with an angelic and heart-beating melody that gives chills all over the body. Maybe the vocals are overproduced, but that doesn't overshadow the smart, soulful and suggestive welcome to this private party with Britney.

    The album (deluxe version) ends as it starts, with a sensual mid-tempo song - One mid-tempo that asks to turn off the lights, because the intimate party moment with the princess of pop is over for now. This outro track, as the first one, has an appropriate title: "Coupure Électrique" ("Blackout" in English). After all, that is what happens when the party goes off. It's time to kill the lights. It is a brilliant ending for this unexpected story that Britney brings in Glory. A story that tells us -but never commands, only suggests us- to "enjoy a break and let us be ourselves" until the music is over.

    There is some kind of poetry there, even if it's just a fun collection of dance songs, made for entertainment. There is a concept beyond the great production -many other people can describe this aspect in a better way than me-, a concept that teaches us: live in the moment. The coherent and honest Glory's statement takes Britney to another dimension as a recording artist.

    As we know, Britney has many dance albums full of club gems, but none of them reach a sophisticated level like Glory does. Coherence, unpretentious storytelling and great A-material are the reasons why I gave it 10/10.

    Thanks for the "invitation", Britney. A private show has never been so good.    … Expand

    Glory, the ninth studio outing from pop icon Britney Spears, does exactly the opposite of what the title of the album suggests. Trying to reclaim her former glory, it's evident the now 34 year old Spears wants to return to a prominence, the likes of which she hasn't experienced since her late 90s genesis; don't lie, "...Baby One More Time" was your jam, too. You wouldn't be entirely wrongGlory, the ninth studio outing from pop icon Britney Spears, does exactly the opposite of what the title of the album suggests. Trying to reclaim her former glory, it's evident the now 34 year old Spears wants to return to a prominence, the likes of which she hasn't experienced since her late 90s genesis; don't lie, "...Baby One More Time" was your jam, too. You wouldn't be entirely wrong to say I hold a certain bias towards modern Britney Spears discography, seeing as "...Baby One More Time" was in fact a childhood favorite of mine, but I genuinely find this album to pale in comparison to Spears' earliest work, and all the nostalgia in the world would not make me deviate from that position.

    Lead off single "Make Me" (which features Oakland rapper G-Eazy) is not only the worst track on Glory, it also gives last year's standalone Iggy Azalea single "Pretty Girls" a run for its money as the worst single of Spears' career. Admittedly, Spears sounds a tad more inspired here than she did on 2013's Britney Jean, but she still sounds disconnected by miles. G-Eazy's presence creates a bit of saving grace, but the track in the sum of its parts, is forgettable. When I heard it on the radio for the first time, it wasn't until my local radio station's DJ revealed it was the new Britney Spears track. Moreover, "Make Me" is very much in line with the R&B infused pop you hear on mainstream radio here in 2016.

    "Private Show" and "Invitation" are just plain annoying. The synths and bass lines coated throughout aren't the problem. The problem is Spears' vocals. Even if they weren't drowned with autotune, I'd still find her vocals as annoying as they are presented this way. "Man on the Moon" is a decent enough track; probably the best on the album. Spears sounds a lot more in control on this track, more so in fact than she has in years. But then "Just Luv Me" comes in as if it were ripped from a Skrillex project and while it's far from terrible, this track too is downright forgettable.

    Unlike the title of this album, "Clumsy" is exactly what the title suggests. The synths are sloppy and and the bassline is as annoying as Spears' vocals. "Do You Wanna Come Over" is a solid enough track. Trying to get the album back on track, Spears approaches it with a level of seduction you'd find scrawled all across Justin Bieber's Purpose. Tracks like "What You Need" and "If I'm Dancing" are sloppy and poor attempts to close out the album on a strong note. Truly an ironically titled album, Glory closes with little of that to show for it.

    I certainly don't blame Britney Spears for attempting to reclaim her place as a pop radio heavyweight. If anything, my 5-year old self is crying on the inside; seeing a childhood favorite make a comeback, however, doesn't come without a certain level of bias that is, in fact, derived from nostalgia. Moreover, I don't think Spears will ever top 1999's ...Baby One More Time. Nevertheless, expect the album to sell well, expect almost every single she releases from Glory to nearly reach the summit of the Billboard Hot 100. But the summit Spears reached at the turn of the millennium is something I personally don't think the now iconic pop singer is capable of attaining again.    … Expand
