There's other songs listed with Spears as a writer and performer are registered with ASCAP and BMI, and were presumed to be recorded by her for Original Doll: " Mona Lisa" - The only actual confirmed song from the album.
In 2007, Spears released her fifth studio album Blackout, which was considered as the final result of Original Doll, since Spears took a more creative and controlling turn during writing, recording and production, and was even credited as the album's executive producer. The project was eventually abandoned, in place of Spears' reality show Britney & Kevin: Chaotic, the extended play of the same name, and B In The Mix: The Remixes. JIVE did not allow her to release it, which angered her. Original Doll ended up unreleased, as it was Spears' 'forbidden album' that was more in-depth to her sadness in life. The song talks of the fall of the Mona Lisa (an alter-ego Spears used when she "needed to get things done"), calling her "unforgettable" and "unpredictable" and warns listeners that she will not have a "collapse." She also revealed she wanted the song to be the first single of her upcoming album, tentatively titled The Original Doll, and hoped to release it "probably before summertime, or maybe a little sooner than that."Īfter this release, however, Jive Records announced that while Spears had been working in the studio, "no album scheduled for the moment" and there were "no plans to serve 'Mona Lisa' to radio stations." Spears had recorded the song live with her band during the tour. On December 30, 2004, Spears made a surprise appearance in the radio station of Los Angeles KIIS-FM to release a demo of a new midtempo song titled "Mona Lisa". Soon after, producer Henrik Jonback confirmed that he had written songs with her during the European leg of her Onyx Hotel Tour on the bus and in his hotel room between shows. It's not one of the singer's best albums, but those who can wade through the miscues will have an EP's worth of solid Avant.In November 2003, Spears told Entertainment Weekly that she was writing songs for her next album. Otherwise, The Letter offers another ballad-heavy round of smooth, sophisticated, and occasionally raunchy R&B songs - most of which are collaborations with the Pentagon - for the thirty and up crowd. It contains three eyebrow raisers: "Body Police," in which lines like "I gotta take you in the 69th precinct" are the norm the lyrically belligerent, borderline dance-pop tune "That Dude," and the jagged, aggressive "Had Enough." To put it lightly, none of these songs deserve placement in a best-of-Avant playlist. ℗ 2010 The Verve Music Group, a Division of UMG Recordings, Inc.Īvant switches labels once more for his sixth album, this time from Capitol to Verve Forecast. © 2010 The Verve Music Group, a Division of UMG Recordings, Inc.
