SINGLE REVIEW: BRITNEY SPEARS - HOLD IT AGAINST ME

Ok, so "the wait is ova" (see previous post). It has taken at least a couple of listens to this before I could even attempt to form an opinion...




This goes for an all out instant adreneline rush, similar to the drama and urgency of Womanizer, but with some killer dubstep breakdowns. This is Britney as dominatrix, as femme fatale, and in the techno auto-tune style du jour. Although undoubtedly fierce, I can't help but feel I've heard better uses of dubstep by mainstream artists (see Christina meets MIA) and I don't think this is as catchy - or as completely refined into one solid polished track - as comeback singles Womanizer or Gimme More before it. While deffinately better than all those wannabe GaGa/Britney's out there at the moment, this isn't in the iconic league of Toxic, but a sure fire hit all the same.
