Britney Spears Is Still A Tease With Snippet Of ‘Femme Fatale’ Track “Inside Out”

Now that all four minutes and 24 seconds of the “Hold It Against Me” video have premiered in all their continuous glory, we can rest easy without being teased by Britney Spears, right? Not so fast. Just a couple days after the excruciating wait for Britney’s latest video finally ended, producer Dr. Luke (who also had his paws all over “Hold It Against Me”) has released a snippet of Brit’s pre-hyped next single “Inside Out” that is barely any longer than those teasers. Head below to hear a clip of the next Britney-Dr. Luke-Max Martin collaboration — but don’t say we didn’t warn you that it’s a short one.

From what little we can hear, the Femme Fatale track certainly has potential. In fact, it reminds us most of the dubstep bridge in “Hold It Against Me,” so at least we can expect some cohesion on the album? (We’re using a question mark because the rather absurd practice of giving us sonic snippets that don’t even clock in at a full 15 seconds makes it difficult to judge.) Given the rather ho-hum reactions to the “Hold It Against Me” video after so much build-up, you’d think maybe this team would have learned its lesson about using teases to build hype? Then again, it certainly did the trick in generating buzz, and certainly anticipation for this next single will be huge, too.

“Come on / Can’t you give me something to remember?” Brit sings in “Inside Out.” Funny — we were just about to request the same thing…
