Pop legend Britney Spears released her ninth studio album Friday, the songstress' first album in three years. The record, titled Glory, is Spears' first offering since 2013's much-panned Britney Jean, and Entertainment Weekly describes it as "her most adventurous album in a decade."

The album's lyrics are sex-heavy and rebellious, perhaps unsurprising given Spears' most recent project is a multi-year residency in Las Vegas. The album's lead single, "Make Me...", features the rapper G-Eazy and leans heavily on Spears' signature breathy touch, while other songs are more explicitly sensual, like the unsubtle "Do You Wanna Come Over?" and the strip-tease preview, "Private Show".
