I've now listened to the last 7 tracks. "Hard To Forget Ya" doesn't really grab me much. Part of it reminds me of another song but I can't think which, off-hand. I'm sure it will come to me. Maybe it's a grower.
"What You Need". Hmm, not sure what to think of it. The song itself is quite good but the tone of Britney's voice on parts of it is really annoying. That helium like voice again! Yet on other parts with the deeper voice it sounds nothing like Britney! Is she duetting with someone on that song or has lots of backing singers or is it all her own voice? Either way I quite like the song but wish she would stop with the helium vocals!
"Better" is ok but doesn't grab me on first listen. I guess it's still "better" than most of the songs on Britney Jean but I guess that isn't saying much!
"Change Your Mind" isn't bad, probably a grower.
"Liar" - now we're talking! 10 out of 10! Love this song. Really catchy, killer chorus, she HAS to release this as a single. Britney at her best. Why on earth has it been stuck on the deluxe version only?! Anyone who buys the standard edition won't get to hear this great track! I really do hope it becomes a single.
"If I'm Dancing" is a bit different and I would like it a lot more if it wasn't for that repetitive male voice saying "Stick" or "Stig" (or whatever it is he's saying, I can't make it out!) throughout the song! It's so annoying and adds nothing to the song! I like the rhythm of the song and think it's quite catchy overall. It's just that "Stick" voice that lets it down for me.
"Coupure Electrique" - I love this! She sounds like Mylene Farmer (one of my fave artists)! Never thought I'd ever be saying Britney sounds like Mylene, lol! It's very different for Britney. I wonder what made her want to do an entire song in French? I wish the song was longer, it finishes far too quickly. One of my faves on the album.
One thing I'm relieved about with the album is that it isn't full of rent-a-rappers on every other track! After "Make Me" I was afraid she was going to go down that route but thankfully she hasn't. If there's one thing that turns me right off a song it's a pointless rent-a-rapper mumbling all over it! Overall there's several songs on the album I'm not that keen on but I think (or hope!) some may grow on me and tracks like "Liar", "Man On The Moon", "Invitation" and "Coupure Electrique" make up for the poorer tracks. I wasn't sure I would be buying the album, based on the 4 tracks she's released so far but there's enough on it I like to make me buy it, which I'm pleased about. A big improvement on Britney Jean!
