Britney Spears - Make Me... (Audio) ft. G-Eazy
Is Britney Spears getting too old for the music biz? If her record label is to be believed, she very well may be.
Britney Spears has become known as the comeback queen of todays pop culture scene, having repeatedly fallen into obscurity only to take the world by storm and find a place back on top of the industry once again. Britney is now in the midst of yet another attempt, what with her extremely successful (and very racy) performance at the Billboard Music Awards and the upcoming release of her hyped-up single Make Me (Oooh).
Although Spears has been able to make a comeback on multiple occasions in the past, though, is it possible she is getting too old to do it again?
British publication The Sun recently talked to some of Britneys label insiders about Spears recent performance, especially the one involving Make Me (Oooh), and what they had to say did not exactly inspire confidence in the current state of Britney Spears.
The single has been a nightmare for everybody involved, an anonymous source said about Britney Spears Make Me (Oooh).
When it came down to the final version of the track, the label just didnt like her voice and the producers were struggling to make it work with the recordings they had.
Thats definitely not what an ageing pop star (especially one who makes a living from performing live) wants to hear. And no artist of any age wants to hear that her label does not appreciate her voice anymore and has to tamper with existing recordings to come up with a workable product.
Nonetheless, reports pop music source Breathe Heavy, Britneys people are desperate to put out Make Me (Oooh) in time for it to be included on 2016s summer airplay playlists, and they have been working hard in emergency meetings to polish the track up. It does not bode well for Spears herself, though, that the labels primary strategy for making her single more appealing is adding elements that distract from Britneys performance.
Theyve tried to find someone to add some guest vocals to strengthen the track instead of finding time in Britneys schedule to re-record but theyve really struggled. Its been very stressful, the track should have been out a long time ago now.
It is speculated that one of those featured artists may be rapper G-Eazy, as Spears uploaded an Instagram photo with him on June 3.

As cool as a G-Eazy and Britney Spears collab might be, though, the fact that the label feels it is needed is very bad news for Spears and her fans, as it strongly indicates her career may be on the decline.
Britneys voice may be faltering as she gets older, but the s*x appeal and sensual charisma that also played a huge role in making her a world-renowned sensation again and again is still going strong. In fact, as the Inquisitr has noted previously, Britney Spears has, as of late, been attempting to get even racier than ever with her outfits, her performances, and her public image.
The costume designer for Britneys Las Vegas residency show, Piece of Me, elaborates on the increasingly scant getups the singer has been donning to cater to fans.
They are hotter and sexier, showing more leg, more cleavage, and more midriff.
At least Britney still has her physical attributes going for her, but is it enough to pull off another comeback?
Another very real possibility is that Spears is simply experiencing a slump due to lack of inspiration, sickness, or some other issue.
After all, Britneys label has had some very positive things to say about her in addition to the negative.
Shes found a really great groove, and shes working with some new, young producers. We have an A&R person working on the project thats just really been able to thread the needle, and Im really excited about itwere waiting for her to finish the album, said RCA Records rep Joe Riccitelli.
And, Britney also looked great filming the video for Make Me (Oooh) a few weeks ago.
Do you think Britney Spears recent struggles with her label are a cause for alarm or just a temporary fluke? Either way, do you think Britney will be back on top in a few months?
