Andrew Wyatt on working with Britney Spears on Hold Me Closer in 2022:
“Britney experimented with speeding the record up and turning certain elements of the sound up to get it pumping and make you wanna dance. She recorded the falsetto parts first, then the lines where she belts. She kept going: ‘Nope, again, again, again.’”
"Then she had an amazing idea: she wanted to listen to the music a bunch of times and started doing her incredible ad-libs that make the record so her."
“She’s unbelievable at layering her voice and doubling, which is one of the hardest things to do. She really pushed herself, vocally. Once the song was recorded, she was incredibly specific about how she wanted her vocals and levels mixed. She’s so good at knowing when she got the right take. She took complete control.”
Since I joined this fandom in 2021 I’ve fantasized about learning how to DJ and recording myself playing Britney’s music. Today I posted my Blackout dj set — mixing Blackout and some other pop tracks from that period of time. Hope u like it <3 https://t.co/QwHWv06ISg
sometimes when i’m bored i look at britney spears photos on getty images. this one from 2008 is a sobering reminder that if it’s hard to understand her today, it’s because this was her life everyday for two decades
«Primero y antes que nada: gracias, William Orbit, porque sin su visión y su brillantez este disco no existiría».
