Rumor has it that `Inside Out` will be the following one from Britney Spears` `Femme Fatale.` The call is vintage Brit, with her breathy, sexy vocals having their way with a slowed down, sly beat that snakes around the song`s body movin` melody.
While `Inside Out` might not have her next episode of greatest hits, it`s still another solid offering from Brit`s comeback record.
Brit Brit may be pushing the big 3-0, but she still has that babydoll voice down to a science. There are moments on the song where vocal distortion is applied to her vocals, warping them and giving them a sharper edge. It`s the yin-yang interplay that we`ve come to ask from Brit`s singles.
Brit also sings, "Hit me one more time / It`s so amazing," which proves that she has reached a degree of fame where she can reference herself in her lyrics, as you obviously recognize that words from her debut single, `_Baby One More Time.` That`s how you love you`re a cultural phenom - when you can adopt a lyrical phrase from yourself over a decade later.
The verses are sped up, with Brit delivering her lyrics in robotic, talk-sing style. She`s being sexually suggestive - and really, when isn`t she? - when she coos, "Shut your lip and turn me inside out/ You`re the just one who ever drove me crazy / Cause you love me inside out." How many pulses did that play of phrase set racing? Anyone feel the blood rush to their face? Also, note that Brit references her own lyrics again, as she did give a megawatt hit with a single dubbed `(You Take Me) Crazy.`
Overall, `Inside Out` is Diet Techno, with beats that are never too mechanized. They are always digestible by Brit`s large cross-section of fans, be it teens, young adults or middle-aged men. It`s a mid-tempo dance song that stops short of being too heavy and that pulls back before it gets too overly sexed up.
