Britney exercises her prerogative
|
In an exclusive e-mail interview, Britney Spears reveals all about her (strictly musical!) past, future, and her new album
|
THE LOLITA who stormed the music scene with Baby One More Time is turning her prerogative this time around sporting a mature in-your-face image, strong electronic-sounding music, with a CD release of her greatest hits album, My Prerogative (Sony Music; CD Rs. 399; cassette Rs.135).
Read on as Britney gives straight, short and sweet answers to questions MetroPlus shot to her.
Recently, the video of Me Against The Music was much talked about. The media accused you of diverting people's attention to your videos rather than the music. How would you reassure your fans and maintain their faith in your music?
That single was received well because it was a great song. People buy CDs to listen to music, not watch videos. I let my music speak for itself.
After your first two albums, the music in the album Britney was strikingly different, which marked the arrival of a more mature Britney. Is this the sort of music your fans should be expecting in the future as well?
I haven't really planned out my future projects. Right now, I'm concentrating on just taking a break, which I need very badly now!
These days, we see a lot of mash-ups and collaborations in the pop music world in order to sound different. Do you feel the risk of sounding stereotyped and unoriginal if you do not collaborate with other artistes?
I always wanted to collaborate with Madonna, hence I did. She is a great artiste and I admire her a lot.
If you were to preview the new singles in your greatest hits album to your fans, what would you tell them?
They've all got a new sound, listen to the record and you will know what I mean.
You have a considerable fan base in Asia, even in India. Can your Indian fans expect you to tour the country sometime?
I certainly hope so. It's a very beautiful country. I've heard a lot about the place and would personally love to come there some time.
What would be your general message to your fans, and anything specific you would like to add for your fans in India?
India is a beautiful country and I would love to perform for all my fans there one day — very soon. And thank you for all your support.
