Britney's back with a bang

We all thought we were going to hear it on Monday, but then they said it was being pushed back a week. And now, relatively suddenly, it's popped up on the internet. What are we talking about? The new Britney single of course!

Thankully, the uber-hyped 'Womanizer' is worth the kerfuffle. It's a stomping robopop song that would fit quite comfortably onto last year's Blackout album - definitely a good thing.

Britney's voice, less treated/vocodered/generally dicked around with than on recent singles, sounds deeper than you might remember. "You got the swagger of champions," she tells the titular philanderer. "Too bad for you, you just can't find the right companion." Zing indeed!

Truth be told, 'Womanizer' isn't quite as jawdropping as 'Gimme More' was on first listen, but with the Britney comeback bandwagon rolling on merrily, it's easily strong enough to give her a sixth number one. Bring on the album.

What do you think of 'Womanizer'? Can it return Britney to number one? Use the space below to have your say.
