Comedian, actor, writer, dancer, singer and most importantly previous guest on this podcast Elouise Eftos returns to the podcast today to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Britney Spears’ classic 2003 album ‘In the Zone’. We talk about the background of the album, how it saw Britney taking the most creative control she ever had (and tragically would ever have), the tantalizing collaborations that almost came to pass, how the album shows Spears coming of age as a woman after being defined as pop’s it girl, the double-edged sword and hypocritical reactions of the sexuality in her music and the media’s gross obsession with her virginity and why ‘Toxic’ has become Britney’s most enduring hit.
