In an interview over
email, pop diva Britney Spears tells Devdulal
Das about her penchant for staying in the news,
her constant tussle with the media over her
private life and how she’s used Indian classical
sounds in her new album
Does My Prerogative reflect the hurt
public speculation has caused you?
I haven't penned the
lyrics of this song. The song was originally
sung by Bobby Brown. I wanted to express myself
through this song, as this was how I felt.
Is media glare an
invasion of privacy?
Initially, it took some
getting used to, now it's gotten easier to deal
with. Though, I still consider it an invasion of
privacy on many occasions.
Do you sing to release
your angst against public speculation about you?
I sing about what's
happening in my life at the moment. Yes, it does
allow me to vent a little.
Is staying in the news
necessary to be successful?
I admit it does play a
part in achieving fame, but at the end of the
day, it's the music you churn out that people
remember.
How much do lyrics mean
to you? Or does melody make a song?
Lyrics matter very much to
me, after all, the lyrics are basically your
feelings transcended into song. The melody is
important too, but the lyrics are the thing I
normally work on first. |
