Music News – Britney Spears Releases New Single ‘Clumsy’

Britney Spears has released a new single from the forthcoming album Glory, ‘Clumsy‘ sees Spears return to her classic pop roots and it’s definitely got her fans excited that a come back is set to happen… Britney’s Back Bitches!

The single follows on from Spears hip hop single ‘Make Me‘ with G-Easy and Private Show, however Spears has kept to her roots with a classic pop vibe with a hint of nostalgia and a sprinkle of grown-up. ‘Clumsy‘ has a great beat with a kick ass bass and I recommend you listen to it LOUD with the bass turned up.

So it’s that time of the week again and this week selection comes from Authority Zero and the track Revolution from the album Andiamo which was released in 2004. This is the bands second release and was released under Lava records comprising of 14 tracks one of which is a hidden track.

The lyrics for the song are as follows

Look at the blueprints as they disappear
This is a blank space filled with all our fears
To make a move could be devastation
To take a chance is the way to face them
Make it a choice to take a different road

You want a revolution?
You gotta make a difference on your own
Want a revolution?
Stand up!
Stand out and make it known

You want a revolution?
You gotta make a difference on your own
Want a revolution?
Stand up!
Stand out and make it known

A new state
Renovation
A new day brings you to the nation
These days
Another way to replay
No replay
I think I’m better this way
Times up
I’m innocent, it’s OK
Too late
I should’ve could’ve made me
Why wait ?
But in the end it could be my last big mistake

You want a revolution?
You gotta make a difference on your own
Want a revolution?
Stand up!
Stand out and make it known

You want a revolution?
You gotta make a difference on your own
Want a revolution?
Stand up!
Stand out and make it known

Face first
New days
Choices we’ve made
Face first
New days
The choices we’ve made

Face first
Our ability to choose
I make a change
Instead of saying that it’s just fine
Time to open up and time to realize
You can make a difference if you try

You want a revolution?
You gotta make a difference on your own
Want a revolution?
Stand up!
Stand out and make it known

You want a revolution?
You gotta make a difference on your own
Want a revolution?
Stand up!
Stand out and make it known

You gotta stand up and make it known!
You want a revolution?
