Review

At the beginning of the '90s, teen currency shifted from bubblegum'n'Tiger Beat to grunge'n'Maximum Rock & Roll. Although it may have been pushed from the spotlight, teen pop hadn't died -- it, in a way, went underground, spending time on the fringes of pop culture. One of the leading lights of the exiled teen brigade was The New Mickey Mouse Club. For several years, it toiled away on the Disney Network, earning a small fan base -- but, more importantly, providing a launchpad for several careers, including that of Britney Spears. Like her fellow NMMC alumni *N Sync, Spears shot to stardom in the late '90s, just as she was on the verge of late adolescence. By that time, everything old was new again. Albums like her debut, ...Baby One More Time, were topping the charts as if they were Hangin' Tough, which is only appropriate since it sounded as if it could have been cut in 1989, not 1999. ...Baby One More Time has the same blend of infectious, rap-inflected dance-pop and smooth balladry that propelled the New Kids and Debbie Gibson, due to the Backstreet Boys' producer, Max Martin, who is also the mastermind behind Spears' debut. He has a knack for catchy hooks, endearing melodies, and engaging Euro-dance rhythms, all of which are best heard on the hits: the ingenious title track, "Sometimes," "(You Drive Me) Crazy," and the utterly delightful, bubblegum-ragga album track "Soda Pop." Like many teen pop albums, ...Baby One More Time has its share of well-crafted filler, but the singles, combined with Britney's burgeoning charisma, make this a pretty great piece of fluff. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

...Baby One More Time is the debut album by American pop singer Britney Spears, released on January 12, 1999 on Jive Records[1] The album was a worldwide commercial success, reaching the top five in nineteen countries, and number one in fifteen, including the U.S Billboard 200. The album helped propel Spears' into mainstream popularity.[2]

With the release of the lead single "...Baby One More Time", Spears became a pop phenomenon; the single peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100,[3][4] a feat Spears would not repeat for nearly ten years, until October 2008 when her single "Womanizer" peaked at number one on the chart. Every single released in the United Kingdom went on to chart in the top-five spots on the UK Singles Chart and the top-three spots on the Eurochart Hot 100.

The album, its lyrics, and its music videos maintained the typical virgin image of the late 1990s teen pop revival for Spears. The album is the biggest selling album worldwide by a teenage artist and the highest selling album by a female pop artist and debut album in the United States.[5] ...Baby One More Time sold more than 25 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the most successful albums of all time.[6][7][8]

Contents

Conception

After returning to Kentwood upon the cancellation of The New Mickey Mouse Club, then lawyer Larry Rudolph arranged her an audition with Jeff Fenster, senior vice president of A&R of Jive Records. Fenster said of Spears, "It's very rare to hear someone that age who can deliver emotional content and commercial appeal". After the audition, she briefly joined girl group Innosense, but later quit.[9] The label appointed her to work with producer Eric Foster White and feeling hopeful about the recorded material in the very first sessions, started promotion almost a year before the album was released. Spears flew to Cheiron Studios in Sweden, where the majority of the album was recorded from March to November 1998, with producers Max Martin, Denniz PoP and Rami, among others.[10]

Album cover

The cassette release had the same cover that was later included in "...Baby One More Time" single booklet. The international edition has an alternate cover picture. It is a picture of Spears in white, with her hands in a praying gesture. The picture also resembles the cover artwork of Björk's album Debut.

Music

Spears had originally not envisioned creating a pop album, she imagined herself singing, in her own words, "Sheryl Crow music, but younger more adult contemporary" but she was happy going along with pop music stating, "It made more sense to go pop, because I can dance to it -- it's more me."[11] ...Baby One More Time has a euro dance-pop feel that draw comparisons to contemporary pop bands of the 1990s, such as Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync. The album is primarily pop, and the songs have characteristic hooks and draws from pop genres such as bubblegum and teen pop. Like most teen pop albums of the 90s, ...Baby One More Time focuses primarily on teenage themes, such as love, break-up, desire and joy.

"...Baby One More Time", the first single and the first track of the album, became the biggest hit of Spears’ career and reached number one in every country it was released. Its accompanying music video with Spears as a Catholic school girl exposing her midriff generated controversy.[12] "(You Drive Me) Crazy", the second track, was released as the third single and became an international success. The song was remixed and released as The Stop! Remix, to promote the movie Drive Me Crazy. "Sometimes", the third track, a pop ballad that is about falling in love, reached the top ten in thirteen countries. "Soda Pop", the fourth song, was warmly received, described as a "delightful bubblegum pop ragga track".[13] "Born to Make You Happy", the fifth track, a mid-tempo bubblegum song, was released as the fourth single in Europe and charted as well as its predecessor. Spears asked the song to be rewritten since the lyrics were too sexual for her at the moment. "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart", a ballad that recalls the loss of first love, was released as a single in the United States and Australia where it peaked at number fourteen and thirty-seven, respectively.

"I Will Be There", the seventh track, is about joy and friendship. "I Will Still Love You", a duet with Don Phillip, tells the story of eternal love. The ninth track "Thinkin’ About You", is an uptempo pop song. "E-Mail My Heart", the tenth song, received negative reviews and was deemed as one of the most forgettable songs of the album. The closing track "The Beat Goes On", is a cover of from Sonny & Cher’s In Case You’re in Love (1967). On early pressings of the album, there is a commercial by Britney after this song. In the message, Spears advertises her label mates the Backstreet Boys' album, and playing snippets of the singles from their album. The running time of "The Beat Goes On" with the special message at the end is 5:53.[14]
