Britney Spears goes for “epic” new sound on her seventh album

Up & coming electro-pop writer/producer/artist Jon Asher has opened up a little about Britney Spears’ upcoming seventh studio album. The 21-year-old was recently contacted by Spears and her management and asked to submit material for the highly-anticipated project, which is due out sometime later this year.

For now, I’ve only submitted songs for the next album. I’m trying to develop an exciting new sound for her. Give Britney more of an “Epic” feel.

And how exactly does Jon define “Epic”?

Epic Pop is a genre that I am pioneering at the moment. Music that has meaning. It’s not your everyday pop love bug sound. Its upbeat rhythms and sounds with meaningful emotional lyrics that people can feel. Something that truly moves you.

Jon also happens to be a huge Britney fan, so which of the singers albums are his favorite?

I’m caught between Blackout and In the Zone. “Unusual You” from the Circus album and “Break the Ice” from her Blackout album [are my favorite Britney songs].

Sounds exciting! One look at Britney’s list of other producers (Darkchild, David Guetta, Danja etc) gives the impression that she’s trying to find the balance between urban-pop and electro-pop, whilst still covering fresh new ground.

Jon Asher is really talented so I’d love to see some of his demos make the final cut. You can listen to his work over at his MySpace, or you can just check out my personal faves of his “Stay With Me” below. I’d love for Britney to record something similar.
