    Britney is back with good music, lyrics and with an unapologetic persona. Glory shows us a mature woman who is still relevant even after almost 20 years of career. She's an icon, a living legend and her new album proves it. The best thing about "Glory" is that we haven't seen this side of Britney since "In The Zone" or "Blackout" - she's back with blood on her eyes!

    Invitation - it is invitation to her Glory. It is very smooth and Britney's vocals are as an angel's.
    Private Show - a funky song, something new in Brtney's repertoire. Man on the Moon and Liar - as her old and good songs from the first two albums. Slumber Party - reggae rhythms calling us to dance on the beach. Just Luv Me and Make Me - rnb songs a la Selena Gomez ;) Do you wanna come over? - uptempo and dark pop/dance track with characteristic chorus. Change Your Mind (No Seas Cortes) - Britney in latino version or Copoure Electrique - in French one.
    In general, this album is coherent and well prepared without any need of autotune like in Britney Jean album. Maybe, these songs are not catchy as in Femme Fatale or Circus albums, but we can hear mature Britney.

    To be frank, this album is for 10/10    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While Britney may not write about political stances and deep opinions (hello from 1998: she never has), she still holds the record in being capable of making fun, dance-worthy pop. Britney's personal touch, aside from her ad-libs, is in the music itself. Much like "Britney", "In The Zone", and "Blackout", you can feel Britney's signature touch and her personal style throughout all of "Glory". And what variety offered! I feel like there's a song for everyone on "Glory". From 'Invitation' to 'Coupure Électrique', Glory shines. Thank you, Britney! Collapse… Expand

    The album features distinct materials which showcase Britney Spears' vocals in the best way possible. She might not write every single song in this album, but every song has special connection to her in a magical way. It can be heard though her not-so-over-processed vocals. Oops! She did it again.

    Depois do desastre que foi o Britney Jean, Britney voltou com um disco totalmente sólido e excelente. Até as músicas fracas tem seus pontos altos. Em várias faixas nota-se o vocal explorado de Spears e a produção do Glory ficou maravilhosa. O lado sexy rnb lembra muito a era In the Zone, o EDM foi extinto do DNA do disco e até as músicas eletrônicas (Clumsy e If I'm Dancing) ficaram boas.Depois do desastre que foi o Britney Jean, Britney voltou com um disco totalmente sólido e excelente.

É claro que ainda temos as faixas que são totalmente comerciais e dispensáveis como "Do you wanna come over" e "Slumber Party" mas elas não tomam o espaço de "Love Me Down" e "What you need" que mostram maturidade de uma cantora pop que sabe o que está fazendo.… Expand

    Her best since In the Zone and Blackout. Glory takes inspiration, it explores. Britney breaks away from the bubblegum pop persona she has been forced into since 2007.

    This is a welcome comeback to Spears having control of her own music and being able to experiment with her sound. She actually sounds ALIVE and into her music. This is definitely worth picking up. You will not regret it.    Her best since In the Zone and Blackout. Glory takes inspiration, it explores.

    A great album, probably one of the bests of the year. Spears deserves the critical acclaim this time with this awesome album. Every song is single worthy

    The one and only Princess of pop. Britney Spears is Back..
    This album is really amazing, each song is a good job. She did it again.
    The lyrics in her album was really perfectionist and amazing work.

    since her debut single in 1998 (where critics could bet she'd not go anywhere far), britney spears, year by years has proven everybody what pop music is about. not just delivered one of the best album of 2016 but also her best album in years. britney spears is a phoenix no matter how many people want to see her fail, britney spears is synonym of success.

    One of Britney's best albums. She showed how creative she is when she wants and her vocals are amazing. So happy that she co-wrote lyrics for many songs and she gave us one masterpiece! Congrats Britney!!!

    Britney Spears is and always will be a legend. Whether you are a huge fan, or you can’t stand her, you cannot deny she’s had an incredibly large impact on the music industry. Although her vocals may not be a favorite of music critics, it has a certain tone and edge that makes her songs addictive. Over the past 18 years, she’s been through so many obstacles that many of us may never have toBritney Spears is and always will be a legend. Whether you are a huge fan, or you can’t stand her, you cannot deny she’s had an incredibly large impact on the music industry. Although her vocals may not be a favorite of music critics, it has a certain tone and edge that makes her songs addictive. Over the past 18 years, she’s been through so many obstacles that many of us may never have to face. After the fan favorite (and one of my personal favorites) Blackout, Britney released Circus, Femme Fatale, and Britney Jean. While Circus and Femme Fatale had strong singles, some lacked a certain “spark” that Britney fans loved about the singer. Britney Jean was a bit worrisome, because not only was the music subpar and dated (aside from Work B**ch which was a personal favorite off that album), but Britney herself didn’t really seem attached to the project in general. It is also a bit of a gray area as to how much Britney actually sang in that album, but I won’t get into that here.Two years after the underwhelming release of Britney Jean, “Pretty Girls” made its way onto the airwaves and unfortunately, it suffered the same issue that Britney Jean had. The sound was outdated, the song itself was a bit annoying and Iggy Azalea had just started receiving backlash from the public for her controversial comments regarding race. Fast forward to today, where we have the best album that Miss Spears has put out in years, and could possibly be her best album yet. Glory takes elements from all of her past albums (sans Brenda Joan), explores new areas, and remains entirely cohesive. The album opens with “Invitation”, a beautiful and angelic ballad that showcases Britney’s beautiful falsetto, and goes into “Make Me” (“Do You Wanna Come Over?” on the CD version). “Make Me” is one of Britney’s strongest leads in years. It’s not the only lead-single worthy track on the album, but we’ll get into that later. “Private Show” remains fun and catchy, but it’s definitely not the best off the album. “Man On The Moon” does exactly what “Alien” tried to do, but this time, it succeeds. Britney’s sweet vocals glide over this happy-go-lucky track, but what makes this song so interesting is that the lyrics are actually quite depressing. Remind anyone else of another Brit song released back in the day? Plus, the instrumental is absolutely gorgeous, especially during the bridge. Next up is my personal favorite off the album, and it seems to be a fan favorite too! “Just Luv Me” is a career moment for Britney. It is reminiscent of the 2016 sound created by Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, but it is so much more. This song absolutely could have been the lead single as well, I’d think of this as the “Toxic” of Glory. The simplistic yet incredibly beautiful instrumental compliments Britney’s sexy vocals as she requests to only be “loved”. It’s one of her best songs in years, dare I say it could potentially be her most iconic single since “Gimme More”? “Clumsy” and “Do You Wanna Come Over?” were both released as instant grats, and they both welcome the return of the beloved Blackout sound, especially the latter. Britney dives into new territories with the midtempo jam “Slumber Party”, which could totally be a future single. It’s fun, sexy and Brit even drops the F-bomb during the chorus. “Just Like Me” (not to be confused with Just Luv Me) is a guitar driven song with an electro-pop chorus. Britney’s vocals sound fantastic, and while this song took a few listens for it to grow on me, it’s now one of my favorites. “Love Me Down” is one of my favorites off the album. While originally rumored to be a ballad, it’s completely the opposite. It’s a fun, dance-floor jam that would have an amazing music video if it were released. “Hard To Forget Ya” is another boppy song that also has single potential (notice how many songs have single potential). “What You Need” is a fun album closer that falls within the same realm as “Private Show”, you’re either gonna love it or hate it. Personally I love it! Now, the bonus tracks. The bonus tracks are all amazing. Seriously, all of them are incredible and could have been standard tracks. “Better” is Britney’s “Lean On” and I am HERE FOR IT. “Change Your Mind” is one of my favorite songs as well, and it features Brit singing in Spanish! (Watch out, Christina). “Liar” is another career moment for Britney. I don’t know how this isn’t on the standard version. It’s Britney going back to her pure pop roots and I LOVE IT. “Cry, Cry Cry you ain’t fooling anyone” she chants as we all pretend this song is about JT. “If I’m Dancing” is the most uptempo track on the album and it’s SO good. It’s like 2016’s “Brave New Girl” and I am so in love with it. The deluxe album closes on a very surprising note with Britney singing (beautifully) in French paying homage to 2007’s “Blackout”. Overall, this album has proven to be her strongest effort so far, and I recommend that everyone give it a chance. The queen is back!… Expand

    Este definitivamente é o melhor álbum da Britney Spears desde "In The Zone". Britney nunca soou tão Britney quanto em seu novo e glorioso álbum "Glory". Todos os fãs estavam afoitos esperando pelo seu novo álbum de estúdio e até mesmo sem muita paciência pela demora do lançamento do álbum, mas cá entre nós, essa espera dos fãs desde 2014 valeu a pena.
    Sem sombra de duvidas, Britney nós    Este definitivamente é o melhor álbum da Britney Spears desde "In The Zone". Britney nunca soou tão Britney quanto em seu novo e glorioso álbum "Glory". Todos os fãs estavam afoitos esperando pelo seu novo álbum de estúdio e até mesmo sem muita paciência pela demora do lançamento do álbum, mas cá entre nós, essa espera dos fãs desde 2014 valeu a pena.
    Sem sombra de duvidas, Britney nós apresenta um dos seus trabalhos mais verdadeiros e sinceros em suas letras desde "Blackout" e tão autentico quanto, se não melhor, que o "In the Zone". Ao contrário de seu antecessor "Britney Jean", aqui nós não temos um trabalho genérico e feito as pressas, nós temos um trabalho feito com muito cuidado e zelo. Vemos uma Britney se divertindo em estúdio, como não víamos a muito tempo.
    Nesse álbum, parece que Britney ouviu os fãs e decidiu mostrar todo o seu potencial vocal e extensão. Pela primeira desde o "Oops I did it again" vemos uma Britney explorando, brincando e se divertindo com os seus vocais de uma maneira que nunca imaginaríamos que ela trabalharia em estúdio.
    Depois do álbum EDM genérico "Britney Jean" e do single teen "Pretty girls" que não agradou nem um pouco a critica, a massa e muito menos os fãs, Britney consegue soar como nunca soou antes desde o "In the Zone", madura, sexy, quente, experimental e mais do que nunca, ela soa como Britney.
    Se Britney segue a tendência do que está tocando nas rádios do momento? Sim, posso afirmar que isso é verdade, mas o trabalho em "Glory" consegue ser tão autentico e icônico que Britney conseguiu dar uma nova identidade em todas as faixas de seu trabalho. A quem ouve, consegue ouvir, é a Britney, **** É a Britney em cada faixa do álbum. A Mrs. Spears deu uma identidade a esse trabalho, que soa ser só dele, a ponto de que ela conseguiu deixar todo esse trabalho experimental e único. Realmente, é diferente de tudo o que Britney Spears já fez.
    Talvez, possamos chamar esse de o verdadeiro álbum mais pessoal da carreira de Britney, pois enquanto "Britney Jean" parece andar conforme Will.I.am deseja, em "Glory", temos uma Britney no controle de tudo e é notório a voz e o dedo de Spears em cada faixa deste álbum incrível.
    Definitivamente, esse é o melhor álbum pop de 2016 e um dos melhor do ano, sem sombras de duvido.
    No replay estão: Invitation, Make me, Slumber party, What you need, Change your mind, If'm dancing, Just like me, Man on the moon e Just love me.
    Recomendo esse álbum à aqueles que procuram ouvir algo, divertido, despretensioso, experimental, sexy, dançante e acima de tudo a aqueles que querem ouvir o melhor de Britney Spears.    … Expand

    Britney Spears show with this new album the perfection of Pop, shows the actual sound of pop music with her characteristic "touch", good lyrics, vocals and amazing production. After the deception with her 8th studio album, Britney Jean, with Glory, she does what her fans and general public expected about her, a legendary masterpiece. The entire album is recommended.

    It's been a while since Britney Spears were releasing a really good quality material.

    The only change I would make - is a track list. I can see that Britney's team wanted to show a different side of the singer, but "Private Show" doesn't deserve that attention, that was tried to be created. The song sounds like just an introduction to something much stronger and powerful and definitely could be easily replaced in main track list with an interesting "Change Your Mind". Same can say about "Hard To Forget You" - the song really doesn't go anywhere and could be replaced by fun and dancy "If I'm Dancing".
    But in general Britney did an awesome job!    … Expand

    Glory is definitely not her best effort but is much much better than her previous two efforts (Britney Jean and Femme Fatale). This album is alot like her previous work. Songs like Just Luv Me, Liar and What You Need should become singles since they have Britney's name all over it.

However i do have to say it has alot of resemblance to Selena Gomez's REVIVAL (2015). So before taking an album out Spears or her label should have seen that an album close to Glory already exists and is not very old, since its a good contender for Best Pop Vocal album. However as far as Grammys for Glory is concerned, she is not one of the strongest contenders with this album for any nomination but maybe for Best Pop Vocal Album but i highly doubt that. She has Sia, Adele, Selena, Justin and Ariana who have a greater chance in being nominated this year.… Expand

    From the beginning to the end is a fresh drink of Britney. Fresh, new, fun. This is better than Lemonade, Blonde, and anything this year or decade. Britney mixes fun beats with low-tempo songs on this record to make her best record yet. A true work of art and masterpiece that everyone should at least give a chance, 30 second of each song.

    Glory is no masterpiece, but it’s a marked improvement on 2013’s ‘Britney Jean’, a messy attempt to merge thumping EDM tunes with supposedly reflective midtempo songs.
