wow.......ok, this is classic.

The brief part about freescha is towards the middle of the story, but here's the main quote:
"But from the sound of it, Britney’s got a couple of hits ready to go after “Gimme More.” In particular, a track called “Heaven on Earth,” written by a California duo called Freescha, is a smash, I think. It’s a totally original dance track that comprises a distinctive and catchy melody. It sounds fresh and exciting, and it’s eminently hummable."
Any guesses on who freescha is gonna produce next? hehe. 
P.S.

I noticed on the credits that it's:
"Heaven on Earth" (Michael McGroarty, Nick Huntington, Nicole Morie).
Nicole Morie is not a member of freescha. So, my first guess is maybe she wrote the lyrics?
if she didn't, then maybe she contributed to the music track and therefore watering down the freescha vibe. who knows.....

they posted a bulletin on myspace. it's them for sure. her voice sounds like fake sugar. i can feel my eye sockets rotting. it's a pretty standard pop song.
1 track though. they probably got paid nicely. good supplemental income if you ask me. 1 track is different than producing an entire album. my guess is if the song is a hit they'll get a lot of work out of it though. if you can spit out a handful of crap pop tunes and then go away and make the music you wanna make and not be bothered then why not? this is how most people are getting by these days.. by doing other audio jobs.. from production to commercial work etc.
what would you do if some pop cheezeball came to you and said "here's $50K we'd like you to produce one song and you get 3 points on the back end".??? i guess it's a similar question to "what would you do if nike came w/$20K and said make us 30 seconds of music for a commercial"???
similarly.. i recall reading about how armen van helden (you remember that guy right?) was doing all these remixes for people like tori amos and madonna nad whoever and he was charging $20k for a remix and was so bored that he told his manager to double his rate because he wanted to work on his own music and wanted everyone to go away. guess what happened? people gladly paid $40K. ridiculous. he said he did a few then worked on his own music which was kind of a down tempo hip hoppy thing.. then he went back to doing overpriced remixes.

i'd tell nike or captain pop cheezball to call tantan instead. ;)
they couldn't pay me enough money to produce for britney spears. i'd consider someone with some talent like erykah badu or jamiroquai, but not cookie cutter pop stars who can't even sing a whole album without massive pitch correction plugins. that would be like babe ruth pointing to deep center field, but missing the balling completely and hitting himself in the head with his own bat... summarily being forced to retire in shame despite the nice severance package.

i guess you gotta start someplace though. doing one britney song is, i guess, a fair price of admission for freescha. in that industry.. pop music producers (like engineers).. have to pay their dues before they can pick and choose projects. i guess producing one britney song is paying dues.. they could have done a lot worse as far as exposure goes.

toxic is a great song. slave is better produced.
they might as well have gotten a hyena to sing them instead of that hideous tick, however.

hm. it is not sounding like 100% freescha with britney's vocals slammed on. I really do not see a problem. I think those blabla sell-out comments smell a bit 1998. so, i wonder if you work with björk is that sell-out or cool? I think I would love to hear more of this stuff on the radio although I also prefer the normal freescha stuff. I also prefer the oh-so badly programmed beats of "normal" freescha to the boom boom routine of the britney track. ;)
