Britney Spears is just too damn likeable stay mad at. We have long forgotten the will.i.stop.making.music mess that was 2013's "Britney Jean" and her decision to stay in Vegas instead of trekking around the world against her will to lip-sync to yesteryear. However, the "Hold It Against Me" singer is staging a comeback: a slow and steady comeback, but a comeback nevertheless, in the form of the Iggy Azalea co-headlining tune "Pretty Girls".
On the surface,"Pretty Girls" doesn't sound like what a Britney Spears lead single should sound like. While "Work Bitch" was somewhat disappointing, her robotically commanding the listener to work in order to reach the promise land of luxury and relaxation still got a rise out of you. "Pretty Girls" on the other hand is what we expected from Iggy's next lead single with the DJ Mustard tribute band, The Invisible Men and a virtually unknown foreign pop girl to take the hook (or maybe enlist the help of Gwen Stefani since she clearly influences this somehow) while Iggy Iggs flaunts how curvaceous and jaw-droppingly gorgeous she is.Britney sounds like Britney...which I guess is ok since last time Britney sounded like Myah Marie sounding like Britney Spears. Moving on!
The video is another story and gives the song that boost to take it from mundane to gym playlist bop. Again, Iggy is inspired by the cinema ("Earth Girls Are Easy" teas) while her and Britney traverse the town in their Jeep and look just so PRETTAY!!! The cringe-worthy dialogue, Brit-Brit's facial expressions and the 20 seconds of dancing make it rewatchable more than any of these other music videos. And this gif>>>life itself
