Britney Spears is hard at work creating the video for her second single from “Femme Fatale,” “Till the World Ends.” The new album is a bit “darker” than her last creation, “Circus.” She told Rolling Stone that it was her goal to crank out something deeper…

“I only wanted songs that I immediately connected to. I also wanted to make sure that this album was completely different from ‘Circus’ or anything else I had ever recorded. I wanted to make a fresh-sounding album for the clubs or something that you play in your car when you’re going out at night that gets you excited but I wanted it to sound different from everything else out right now. I also wanted to experiment with all the different types of music I love which is why you hear a mixture of pop, hip-hop and dance throughout the album. I also really wanted to play with my voice and change up my sound here and there which was really fun.”

The music mag also reviewed the new album dubbing it her “Best album, certainly her strangest.” They noted the mixture of its typical sexual overtones mixed with her pain and sadness. Giving it a 4/5 rating, most of the review was positive but noted that her vocals suffered. (Click HERE to listen to the album leak of Femme Fatale and see what you think…)

“On nearly every track, Britney’s voice is twisted, shredded, processed, roboticized. Maybe this is because she doesn’t have much of a voice; it’s certainly because she, more than almost any other pop diva, is simply game. Femme fatale? Not so much. But say this for Britney: She’s an adventuress.”

Good or bad…this is Britney Spears and she could probably sell a record comprised of nonsensical lyrics as long as it has a good beat.

Brit gave fans a tiny peek at what is to come for the video for “Till the World Ends.” She shared a photo of herself taking a break on set. Wearing a Burberry studded leather jacket and those head smacking ripped tights, Spears sent a message…

“Day 1 of the #TTWE Videoshoot. Just wrapped my first big dance number. Taking a well deserved break people! –Brit”

The video is directed by Ray Kay who has worked with Lady GaGa, Beyoncé and Cheryl Cole. An here is a tidbit I didn’t know…the track was written by Ke$ha. (She was recently under body image fire for some really unflattering bikini pics. Click HERE for those…)
