Britney Spears
Singer, dancer, and actress Britney Jean Spears was born on December 2, 1981, in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana. For over 20 years, Spears has been one of the foremost successful—and typically controversial—solo acts in the music genre. For a time, however, she was higher known for her struggles.
Britney Spears is the process figure of the Y2K pop era, the creator who formed the sound and appearance of pop within the first decade of the 21 century. Like Madonna before her, Spears melded her music to her image therefore totally, it became not possible to separate the two: the title of "...Baby One More Time," her 1999 breakthrough hit, evokes the economic liquid ecstasy Martin-produced hook and Spears' schoolgirl dance routine in an equal life. "...Baby One More Time" arrived in early 1999, months when the launch of MTV's Total Request Live and even as the pop charts were shaking off post-alternative doldrums in preparation for period bacchanalia that was simply round the corner. Spears provided the sound recording for that era as she moved from effervescent bubblegum like "(You Drive Me) Crazy" to the slinkier, sexier funk of "I'm a Slave 4 U".
