There will be room for Britney during our time of war, especially if she’s going to let The Neptunes grease her pop axles with such filthy glee. This is funk the way God intended – hypnotic, insistent, mysterious, suggestive – and if Prince was a 19 year old former Disney Club host and virgin he’d be proud to create such a record. Not quite ‘Get Ur Freak On’ or ‘Bootylicious’, but coming up hard along the bend nonetheless.
