The big difference from the early demo that leaked last week is the presence – heralded by a classic Britney spoken word “if I said ‘I want your body’, would you hold it against me?” – of a fantastically ridiculous dubstep breakdown after the second chorus. After the whole song drops out it’s dubstep gloomwobble-a-go-go for a full thirty seconds, with Britney throwing around some “yeah”, “ow”, “uh-huh” ad-libs and a new “gimme something good, don’t wanna wait I want it now, drop it like a hood and show me how you work it out” line. After that there’s a second middle eight (don’t be surprised if certain radio programmers whip out the first one entirely) which is a hands-in-the-air smoke machine moment more in keeping with the rest of the track, and that’s followed by the full chorus slamming in and taking you to the end of the track. Sudden end, no fade. Amazing. This is neither the time or the place to fully explore the concept of delayed gratification but the effect of teasing the listener by dropping the beat out of the song’s first two choruses, then plunging us into half a minute of abstract dubstep, and then only finally revealing the full-on raveochorus in the song’s final moments is something very special indeed. Warning: YOU MAY SHED A TEAR OR OTHER FLUIDS. -popjustice.com
