About this album

Jive (2002) Released: 1 Jul 2002 18 tracks (62:34)
The title says it all — that this third album is where it’s all about Britney. Actually, the titles say it all: Britney is “Overprotected,” she pleads “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman,” tries to let us all see “What It’s Like to Be Me.” All three songs are pivotal moments on Britney Spears’ third album, the record where she strives to deepen her persona (not the same thing as her character, of course), making it more adult while still recognizably Britney. That much was evident from the selection of the first single, “I’m a Slave 4 U,” a sultry Neptunes-produced salute to Prince that is so far removed from the big, glitzy Max Martin productions that are her signature that at first it sounds awkward, even wrong. As it grows, it sounds like one of her best singles — a skittering, spare funk number that is a perfect next move for her teasing, unformed sexiness. Such a departure seems to signal a full album of surprises like that, especially when teamed with the aforementioned title, but Britney isn’t that bold — after it opens with The Neptunes’ retro-future funk, it delves right back into Martin territory with “Overprotected.” At first, that’s a disappointment, but then the small, yet significant, changes become apparent. Rhythmically and melodically, the whole album is sharper, tougher than what came before.
