Vocally and Musically interesting

[IceBreaker]

I have to say that the three songs that have been released from "Glory" have been vocally interesting.  In fact, it's the most vocally interesting stuff Britney has released in a long time.  First, I like that there isn't a lot of vocal manipulation - these are pure Britney vocals without a ton of special effects.  Also, I like the way she's singing some of the lines - like they start out slow and then all the sudden the lines speed up and then slow down again (this happens a lot in "Make Me").  

 

While "Make Me" isn't my favorite song, it's still interesting.  

 

I guess my point of this topic is that these songs don't have the typical pop structure that were used to - and I am sick of!  The new tracks have a different flow than most current songs - not the same old formula.

 

I'm satisfied so far!

I totally get what you're saying. I actually didn't love TTWE and HIAM when they came out because they seemed very similar to what was out at the time. Very Kesha. Which was funny, since TTWE wound up being written by Kesha lol. And HIAM was written by Bonnie, who has written a LOT of mainstream hits, including like every one of Katy's hits. 

Just Love Me (if it's authentic)  sounds a bit like Selena, but it's one of 4 songs we've heard so far that are very, very Britney. Even Make Me, which could arguably be compared to the brand of pop Selena is putting out (I keep using Selena because I can't dig out any other names in my head right now, but it's the very low-key, slow burn pop), but is still 100% Britney.

I like that her voice isn't just a decoration on top of the music, she is placed front & center and enjoying it.

Britney's vocals are very good this time around. At least it's REALLY her.

Yes, this is what stands out the most this era I think, her voice. She hasn't explored her range like this in years, I mean, these new songs can be compared to all these demos from 2004-2007 that we always use as an example when we talk about the kind of music we want from her, so it's amazing that it seems like Britney has got some creative freedom at last! I don't wanna sound delusional or anything but I feel like Glory will be Original Doll's younger sister

Yes, this is the really the most we've heard from her vocally since "In the zone", really.  She's using different techniques and mixing things up within the same song - like in "Private Show" - I love the end when she goes "Oohhh Baby..Baby..." her high notes are so Britney - but then she gives up BOMT album vocals in the same song.

 

I'm quite happy so far with this album.

 

The Holy Trinity might be complete - and the album name would fit quite well...."In the Zone", "Blackout" and "Glory".  I have high hopes for the rest of the tracks.

I agree except from Clusmy. It doesn't have very good vocals like MM and the vocals are quite processed and not interesting at all in my opinion. In general the new song's vocals sound very fresh and full of life.

Have y'all heard Private Show?  It might just be me but it sounds like her voice is heavily processed during the chorus, it's cringey to listen to. I think MM is the best track so far that has showcased her true voice, hopefully we'll get more tracks like that on Glory

I was super afraid when I heard the autotune warble on her vibrato in Make Me that Britney's voice wouldn't be strong enough to experiment on this album and prove herself properly but Clumsy and Private Show have blown me out of the water. Every single line is in a different vocal style but it still fits together so well.

My shuffle hopped onto TTWE right after playing Clumsy, it was a total shock to hear them side by side and how over processed Britney's voice was.

The processing was fun and interesting on Blackout but then we had Gaga, Kesha and the BEP's who all went and overused it.

 

I definitely agree with @PopMusicJunkie that the songs on Glory (so far) are all built around Britney's Voice not the other way around. It's one of the (few) reasons I'm happy Brit didn't work with Max Martin on this album. He always treated Britney's voice like an instrument that needs to be programmed and forced to fit around his melodies.

Disagree  I think Brit's voice is really good on Private Show. If you want cringey please go back to the Britney Jean era.

I totally agree with this - Britney has totally outdone herself out far. And we only have 3/17 tracks so far
