Following a leak online, Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea have released their new track 'Pretty Girls'. The blonde duo team up for this bubbly pop number, and it's certainly a collaboration people have been waiting to hear. You'd think that a collab between these two would make big waves and turn into the next catchy tune. But you'd be wrong. There's something about 'Pretty Girls' that just doesn't grab you, no matter how many times you listen to it. It's not bad, but it's not particularly memorable either.
It's clearly going for a 'Barbie Girl' vibe, with a dash of 'Fancy', but it just doesn't make the kind of impact that is needed for the song to be truly catchy and a 'new classic'. The track is also ridiculously short. With such a strong duo, there needs to be a considerable length to showcase off their talent and although Spears dominates in a few verses, it seems a waste not to use Azalea's rapping to full effect and throw her some more verses. In short: the track needs to be longer with more balanced verse content.
It's frustrating in some ways as 'Pretty Girls' could have been considerably better, but it is lacking in certain aspects, like the hook. The most memorable lines of the song is 'All around the world/ Pretty Girls', 'We're just so pretty', 'It's just so funny/ like bees to the honey' and we honestly can't remember anything else (and this is after listening to it 6 times). Maybe there can be a do-over and Brit and Iggy can come out with another track that'll redeem the first (pretty please?).
This track can only be destined to divide fans. But what are your opinions on the song? Is it your new favourite? Let us know in the comments! Listen to the new track below:
