WILL.I.AM FT.BRITNEY SPEARS-SCREAM & SHOUT SINGLE

             When Britney Spears was quizzed about her new single with will.i.am ahead of its premiere at a recent event, her response was: "You just have to hear it." At the time, we assumed it was one of her typically meek/nervous/confused reactions to a question that, if we're honest, we assumed she didn't know the exact answer to herself.

However, since the track's unveiling little over a week ago, it's probably the most accurate description she could have given. "When you hear this in the club/ You're gonna turn this s**t up," she declares in a dodgy British accent over squiggly synths and hi-wired bass, before both insist they want to "scream and shout and let it all out". The result is a bonkers mix of stop-start hooks which, after repeated listens, becomes strangely addictive.
