Production
One of her producers, P. Diddy, spoke to MTV News about a song he was working on with Spears, but at the time it had no title "The Answer." "I was very impressed with P. Diddy," Spears said. "He's very family-man-oriented, he brought his kids in. His studio and the people he works with, the people he does tracks with, are, like, amazing. He's a cool guy." [8]
Spears also had high praise for Moby, who worked with her on the mid-tempo "Early Morning." "He's such a pure-hearted guy," she said. "He's so cool. He just played me a really cool track, and I thought it was brilliant. I just came up with stuff to go over it, and I hope he likes it. I don't know if he's heard it yet, but I like it. It's one of my favorite tracks on the record." [
]
The track is a day-after hangover song, balancing other party-hard tunes that might make the album. "Some songs are just written generally about going out and wanting to have a good time," she said. "I was writing about a lot of stuff in general — going out with my girlfriends, everyday experiences I was going through. "Like, 'Early Morning' is basically talking about just going out and feeling bad the next day, and 'Touch of My Hand' is about, you know, touch of my hand," she continued. "You'll have to hear the song and get your own interpretation of what you think it's about. Other songs are just very sensual, very sensual songs."[
]
Diddy declined to give song titles, since the tracks aren't finished and the album isn't due until November. While other producers who have worked with the singer, including the Matrix and Fred Durst, have described Britney's new material as having a trip-hop vibe reminiscent of Madonna's "Ray of Light". Besides ballads, dance tracks and Middle Eastern rhythms, Spears also raps on one track, "Brave Girl." "I think she's giving you a lot to work with," Diddy said. "She's broke out of that just pop [style], just being a pop artist. She's being a trendsetter. She has many styles. You don't know how she's going to come and hit you next." [9]
Diddy said he came out of the sessions with a newfound respect for Spears and found that she had taught him a thing or two as well.
"As a performer, as an artist, as a songwriter, she ain't no slouch," he said. "It was great working with her. She was real quick, real quick. I wouldn't go into the studio with nothing that wouldn't motivate me. The way she did it her way, that motivated me to get with her and give her a bit of my flavor mixed with hers, to get her to do something combustionable.[
]
The album's name originated from a constantly used phrase from the lead single Me Against The Music, the phrase being "I want to get in the zone." The album's original title was Get in the Zone
, and was later shorten to In the Zone
. [10]
Critical reception
Initial critical response to In the Zone
was generally favorable. According to Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received a score of 66, based on 13 reviews. [11]
The album spawned the international number one and U.S. top ten hit single, "Toxic", which won Spears her first Grammy in the category of Best Dance Recording. [12]
The album had a mixed critical reception, although the positive notices were stronger on this outing.
- Stylus Magazine gave the album a D and even blamed her career choices saying, "Ultimately, In the Zone
suffers greatly from Britney's uneasy transition from teen tart to sexually powerful woman. Had Britney been in charge of her career direction instead of mercilessly prostituted by her management, she might have been able to produce something with some semblance of musical vision." [13]
- The Guardian
praised the album's melodies and her effort giving it 4 out of 5 stars and writing, "Unlike previous Britney albums, In the Zone
has no filler and no shoddy cover versions, just 57 varieties of blue-chip hit-factory pop. There is southern hip-hop, deep house, Neptunes-style R&B, the ubiquitous Diwali beat and, most importantly, oodles of Madonna." The album currently has a 4/5 rating on iTunes based on over 55 reviews. [14]
