I hope this can shed light on arrangements like this for all people from popstars to every day people who are in abusive, controlling situations. “I was sickened by the control exposed over her (Britney’s) life via her abusive conservatorship. Quotes from some of the featured artists:
More poignantly ZOLA, a singer/songwriter from San Francisco, paints Britney’s struggles anew on “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman.” But the overwhelming sentiment from the artists who’ve lovingly put together the album comes from a carefully guarded optimism that the end of the conservatorship will afford freedom and peace for Britney moving forward. Other songs like “Toxic” ( JPOLND, Rachel K Collier) and “Circus,” performed by the enigmatic TANGELA, point to the constant vitriol spewed by the media and celebrity gossip culture at Britney as complicit with the abuse she received. In revisiting songs like “Overprotected” singer/songwriter Olivia Dear, who gives a heartwrenching rendition of the song on the album, recognizes the song’s “eerily ominous” lyrics that point to Britney’s protectors as being more controlling than was known at the time.
Illicit Ghost opens the album with “Gimme More,” a potent dance track and the artist’s favorite Britney song while gay hollywood, aka Carmen Elle, lends some brooding electronica to the stellar ballad “Sometimes” and “Work Bitch” becomes a grinding, grunge-rager thanks to Brooklyn-based L’FREAQ.īut the return to Britney’s songs also necessitates brushing up against the fact that the singer released four studio albums while under the conservatorship. The reworks of the songs on #FreeBritney vary in their reimagination of immaculate hits like “Oops!…I Did It Again” and “Toxic,” but what remains constant is the passionate resonance of each artist’s connection to Britney’s music.
