Well, in lieu of Britney calling BS on a new album in June, I went through my Britney B-sides and realized that she’s had some halfway decent tracks that never officially appeared on her albums. One of my favorites was a track called Over To You Now, co-penned by Guy Sigsworth, Imogen Heap and Robyn. Talk about a powerhouse, right? You can hear Immi’s background vocals on the track. It was featured on the British version of the Chaotic EP, named after the tv series of the same name featuring Britney and Kevin Federline during their courtship. Courtship, not court battles. Those would be documented later on.
But some of other Britney classic b-sides: Phonography, Trouble, Don’t Hang Up, Chaotic, I’ve Just Begun Having My Fun. What are some of your favorite b-sides or unreleased tracks?

First of all, congratulations to Imogen Heap on her Grammy award for best engineered album – non-classical for Ellipse, the singer’s third full length album. That barely anybody heard.
After the success of Heap’s second album, Speak For Yourself, one couldn’t be surprised that it would be hard to top an album that pretty much was perfection from top to bottom. Who would have thought an electronic, a capella song could have become a breakthrough hit for an artist? Hide and Seek was just that. I mean, if you haven’t heard this song – you have been under a rock. This was followed by the songs Say Goodnight and Go and Headlock as well as several contributions to soundtracks and other themed albums.
But like so many artists, the curse of the third album seems to be more realistic than the curse of the second, especially when the second is just as popular, if not more than a debut. I mean look at Christina Aguilera and Kelly Clarkson – both had flop third albums compared to their prior success. Since Imogen created and produced Speak for Yourself all on her own, it seemed that she could repeat that formula and improve it on Ellipse.
That just wasn’t the case. Read the rest »
