    Spears is back at 34 with an album that carries her one-of-a-kind electricity without depicting her as a victim or an avenging force; here she seems in control, a grown woman having a laugh on her own terms.

    A pop album that operates on its own terms, partly thanks to the way the white-hot notoriety of the star at its center allowed her to, after all these years, rule her own pop fiefdom.

    It's a welcome return, as is Glory as a whole: it feels as fun and frivolous as her earliest music while retaining the freshness of her best mature work.

    Glory is no masterpiece, but it’s a marked improvement on 2013’s ‘Britney Jean’, a messy attempt to merge thumping EDM tunes with supposedly reflective midtempo songs.

    Although it marks no significant shift in style--she’s still mining the same pop-R&B seam--it’s undoubtedly a better effort than its predecessor.

    Like Britney herself, Glory is a fascinating if flawed listen--while she remains very much a singles artist, this is her most successful record in a while, and still contains glimpses of why she remains so compelling, 18 years into her career.

    Even with her voice upfront, Ms. Spears isn’t singing anything particularly personal.

    Glory pra mim foi uma grande surpresa vindo da Britney. Muito bem construído e produzido ao ouvirmos faixas como "Man On The Moon" ,"Hard toGlory pra mim foi uma grande surpresa vindo da Britney. Muito bem construído e produzido ao ouvirmos faixas como "Man On The Moon" ,"Hard to forget Ya" e a rancorosa 'Liar". Em ''Just Like Me" Brit soa tão natural que parece que ela é uma amiga minha me contando do ex-namorado que arrumou uma menina muito parecida com ela. Das inúmeras tentativas de ser uma mulher fatal "Private Show" é a mais bem sucedida com tudo que uma música pop precisa para estourar nas rádios hoje em dia. É claro que ainda temos as faixas que são totalmente comerciais e dispensáveis como "Do you wanna come over" e "Slumber Party" mas elas não tomam o espaço de "Love Me Down" e "What you need" que mostram maturidade de uma cantora pop que sabe o que está fazendo.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Melhor Álbum viados!! Britney tá arrasando,cantando mais que td... haha meu amor eu sou cantora!!!
    Perfeito, um dos melhores álbuns de 2016, se não o melhor do gênero pop.
    Realmente Britney soube se sobressair do seu Britney Jean que não foi muito bem aceito.
    Mas realmente ela se superou.    … Expand
