Britney (album)
Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox album
Britney is the third studio album by American singer Britney Spears. It was released on November 6, 2001, by Jive Records. Looking to transition from the teen pop styles of her first two studio albums ...Baby One More Time (1999) and Oops!... I Did It Again (2000), Spears began to embrace a significantly more mature sound with Britney. The record incorporates genres of pop and R&B with influences of EDM and occasionally dips into disco, hip hop, rock, and electronica. Its lyrical themes address the subjects such as coming of age, adulthood, control, and sexuality. Contributions to its production came from a variety of collaborators, including Max Martin and Rami Yacoub. Spears herself assumed a more prominent role in the album's development, co-writing six of its tracks. The album correlated with Spears's feature film Crossroads (2002), in which three tracks from the album were featured.
Britney received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who complimented Spears' musical progression but criticized her increasingly provocative image. The album was a global commercial success and debuted atop the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 746,000 copies, making Spears the first female artist to have her first three studio albums debut atop the chart, a record she would later break with her fourth studio album In the Zone (2003). The album received a nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 45th Annual Grammy Awards (2003). By January of 2003, with worldwide sales of over 10 million copies, Britney is one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century.
Britney produced six singles. "I'm a Slave 4 U", the lead single, reached the top ten in 20 countries. "Overprotected" also achieved international commercial success.Template:Efn "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman", "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" and "Boys" reached the top ten in several countries but all failed to enter the US Billboard Hot 100,Template:Efn while "Anticipating" was released exclusively in France instead of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll". To further promote the album, Spears embarked on her fourth concert tour, titled Dream Within a Dream Tour, from November 2001 until July 2002.
Recording and production
For her second studio album Oops!... I Did It Again, which was released in May 2000 to global commercial success,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Spears collaborated with producers such as Darkchild, Rami Yacoub, and Max Martin;<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> all of them returned for Britney.<ref name="NA edition"/> Spears additionally worked with a variety of collaborators, including her then-boyfriend Justin Timberlake.<ref name="MTVBackground" /> She commented that she initially felt "awkward" and "nervous" working with Timberlake, saying that she was accustomed to the process being "like work".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> For the first time, Spears worked with hip hop producers the Neptunes. She claimed to have been inspired by "a lot of hip-hop and R&B while I was on my last tour. I was inspired by Jay-Z and the Neptunes. I told Jive I really wanted to work with [the Neptunes]. I wanted to make [Britney] nastier and funkier."<ref name="MTVBackground"/> Spears was additionally set to record songs with Missy Elliott and Timbaland, which never came to fruition due to scheduling conflicts.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
While recording Britney, Spears wanted an "older generation to pick up on it", adding that she "had to change it up and pray people think that's cool". She stated that she chose to self-title the album because the majority of its content described herself. Spears recorded 23 tracks for the album, several of which she co-wrote with the assistance of Brian Kierulf and Josh Schwartz. She added that personally writing the album and developing its concept made the project "that much more special", elaborating of her intentions to "get better and grow" as a songwriter.<ref name="MTVBackground">Template:Cite news</ref> During the sessions, Spears also worked with electronic musician BT, whose tracks were excluded from the standard edition track listing. She stated: "I was really disappointed we weren't able to use the tracks BT had done. He's a genius in whatever he does, but the type of music he ended up doing didn't fit me and what I was going for. I think they will be on some of the stuff [released] overseas."<ref name="MTVBackground"/> His contribution "Before the Goodbye" was included on international editions of the album.

Singles

Critical reception
Template:Music ratings Britney received mixed reviews from music critics,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> who felt the album was underdeveloped thematically and sonically.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Britney received an average score of 58, which indicates "mixed or average reviews", based on 13 reviews.<ref name="Metacritic">Template:Cite web</ref> David Browne of Entertainment Weekly found Spears's increasingly provocative image to be unnatural, noting "virginal vamping in an awkward adolescence" and "a few tentative new moves".<ref name="EW" /> PopMattersTemplate:' Nikki Tranton complimented the production of the songs, but questioned if Spears was ready to establish herself as a grown woman in the music industry.<ref name="PopMatters">Template:Cite web</ref> Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine agreed, writing that although "Britney, [the album], fills her role of guilty pleasure (the disc certainly satiates more than the stunted growth of last year's Oops!...I Did It Again), it's time for Spears to quit being such a cock-tease and cook something up that will satisfy the ever-vacillating hype-machine".<ref name=slant />
AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave a positive review, feeling that the album "strives to deepen [Spears's] persona" and proves she "will know what to do when the teen-pop phenomenon of 1999–2001 passes for good".<ref name="Allmusic" /> Similarly, a reviewer from Billboard commented that the project was "a nicely varied, wholly satisfying collection".<ref name="Billboard">Template:Cite magazine</ref> Chris Heat of Dotmusic praised Britney for "us[ing] this opportunity to take the odd risk and adds a welcome edge to her sound".<ref name=dotmusic /> NMETemplate:'s Ted Kessler recognized the release as a "coming of age album" and joked that it "works best when making a good pop cheese and dance sandwich".<ref name="NME" /> By contrast, Stephen Thompson of The A.V. Club panned the album, opining that the music "just [isn't] catchy" and that "though neither a girl nor a woman, Spears inspires grown-up anger on her own".<ref name="TheAVClub">Template:Cite web</ref> Craig Seymore of Spin recognized that she "sound[s] almost human", but criticized that "the rest of the record is as coldly anthemic as ever".<ref name=spin>Template:Cite journal</ref>
