Britney Spears: the DFA demo
Oh, there can't even be any question: there's gotta be some domestic tension over at the Mr. and Mrs. Spears residence. Can it be any coincidence that, less than a week after K-Fed leaks his big hipster move -- a debut baile-funk single -- his wife's most coveted unreleased track finally surfaces? They said it would never be heard, and frankly there've been times we thought this thing was completely apocryphal, but it's out: the song the DFA produced for Britney. The beat is a little more Neptunesy than you're used to hearing on a Tim Goldsworthy production -- compressed clickology tricked out by LL's bells, a repetitve buzzy synth stab, and what might charitably be descibed as a scratch vocal by the star. In other words: cue the anticlimax. Not even mad at this, though, because OTD has been secretly dying to here this for like two solid years. Now we can rest easy.
