‘Bare’, A Fanmade Britney Album With “Covers†of Radiohead & Björk, Offers Something More Experimentalney

 

 

In the time — love, joy, space â€” between albums, Britney fans have been known to get a little…creative to keep themselves from becoming too bored. (Just do it, baby. Just do it!)

From constant rumors of surprise award show performances and Super Bowl halftime shows (bless you Britney Army for your endless optimism), to voting like mad on Internet polls, to latching on to every sweet morsel of news about the making of B9 (#JustLoveMe), to throwing SPEARITUAL BIRTHDAY PARTIES THIS SATURDAY, Brit’s bitches always find a way to keep the Living Legend in the spotlight — even when she’s sneaking away to the Philippines. Or taking selfies with books. Or posting memes.

Sometimes (REFERENCE), a few talented fans go the extra mile by putting their own cool and funky spin on somethin’ we’ve already heard before, whether it’s in the form of a remix, a mash-up or an acoustic cover.

But this week, a Spanish fan named Gryves Martell created something a little more personal: Bare, a compilation that incorporates reworked album tracks, leaked demos and rough cuts largely picked from the Blackout sessions and the mysterious Original Doll era in the mid ’00s, back when B-Girl was intent on getting even more hands-on and making her most personal album to date. (Sorry, Britney Jean.)

The remixed versions of B’s works in progress like “Baby Boy,†“Money, Love & Happiness,†“Welcome To Me†and “Let Go†are all really interesting, artsy fartsy interpretations (that atmospheric reworking of “Perfumeâ€!), but the most genius thing about the album might be “new†songs like “Bare†and “covers†of Radiohead‘s “How To Disappear Completely†and Björk‘s “Generous Palmstroke,†which essentially turn Britney into a Japanese Vocaloid, stitching fragments of her voice together to create entirely “new†songs. It’s Hatsune Mikuney, bitch! (The album even comes with a cool, lovingly crafted booklet, complete with song lyrics, credits and appropriately mysterious imagery.)

It’s introspective, vibey and left-lane, showcasing a number of ways she could really reinvent and evolve her sound with this new era. And, at the very least, it’s something to briefly quench our thirst for B9 just in time for December 2, The Holy Spearit’s blessed day of birth.

I spoke to the producer behind Bare to get some more insight into making the album.

I was just about to post about this, and I'm loving it so far.  Very creative and the reworking of the songs sounds great.  Can someone rip this please?  I need this on my phone. 

 

Never mind. I'm so dumb. 

[Britnoy]

I was scared when I read the post's title but actually sounds greats!    

I wouldn't mind at all if B9 got a sound like this.

listening to it right now and I'm loving it   great work   

[JoshLee]

It's so good

[PopMusicJunkie]

Most fan edits, though well intended, aren't good but this is great.  Bare is a compelling concept that is sonically, lyrically pleasing and way more personal without having to be told.  I'm obsessed, it feels like an actual album.

I'm listening to the album now. It's pretty dope! It sounds like the in of between In The Zone and Blackout. And I have to be honest, this is my first time listening to some of these demos in full and now I'm wondering if Britney and JT hooked up after they broke up but when he was dating Cameron or Jess cuz Ouch! and Look Who's Talking Now kind of allude to maybe a hookup having happened.

 

Anyway this guy did a great job and he should be given the chance to actually work with her for real.

This is honestly so incredibly good! The unreleased tracks sound so well done and a LOT better than their LQ demos. My Only Wish (This Year) is that the user makes new versions of the other Blackout songs, like Just Let Me Go, Dramatic etc. 

 

Also, Perfume sounds INCREDIBLE, but it bugs me so much that it's on here because pretty much all the other tracks are ITZ/Blackout outtakes and they work well together.

that moment when Bare is better than Britney Jean
