Glory is, by far, Britney Spears’ most adventurous album. After several career missteps (including 2013’s lackluster Britney Jean), Glory opened a new chapter for Spears where she exerted more control over her sound and unlatched herself from solely trafficking in predictably high BPMs and syrupy ballads for possible hits. Instead, she delivered a wickedly diverse set of songs that stretched her vocal abilities and showed her finally having fun on an album as Burlesque Britney (“Private Show”), Ballsy Britney (“Liar”) and even Buenos Aires Britney (“No Seas Cortes”) characters. Glory challenged whom we thought Britney Spears, the singer and performer, should be and proved that, thankfully, she’s still artistically curious and determined not to let her best days fall behind her.
