'Hold On Tight (Acoustic Mix)' by Britney Spears

Remixing superstars Nick* and Country Club Martini Crew who gave us the acoustic 'Passenger' duet with Sia as well as the dance version are back with their best work yet. Britney Jean may have been a marketing mess, but that meant that gems like bonus track 'Hold On Tight' went unnoticed. Finally it's getting the treatment it deserves.

'Hold On Tight' was originally a dark dance tune reminiscent of the Blackout days with lots of heart and soul, but with this new acoustic take on the track Britney shines. Stripping away all the production and allowing our sultry pop princess to warble over a guitar strum gives Brit's the voice the chance it never gets to shine.

I'm actually shocked at how good this is, and if her management would open their eyes and release something like this to radio people's perceptions of Britney's undeniable talent would be changed. I can only hope that in the future this brilliance can be more fully realized, but knowing her team I'm sure that's just wishful thinking.
