Britney Spears Debuts "Work Bitch"

posted in: Music News • Pop

Pop icon Britney Spears is starting the promotional run to her new album this morning with the release of a new song entitled “Work Bitch.”

EDM is all the rage in pop music these days, and in a move to stay relevant, Britney Spears is hopping on the bandwagon with her new song, “Work Bitch.” The track is built on thick layers of synth and slick, glitchy production, aimed more for the clubs than top 40 radio. If you like that sound, there’s plenty here to make you move, but whether or not you find it at all original is another question entirely. You can stream the single below.

Ms. Spears has never been celebrated for the depth of her singles, but there is something especially shallow about “Work Bitch” that just feels lazy. The music takes the focus off her vocals entirely, making Spears into more of a feature than the star, and though it may be packed with would-be hooks, it’s hard to imagine anyone humming the track to themselves off the dance floor. It just feels forgettable.

Britney Spears has yet to officially announce her album plans, but a release sometime this winter is expected. Comment below and let us know your thoughts on “Work Bitch.”
