Britney Spears<\/a> has recalled “rooms full of men” looking her “up and down” as she auditioned for her first record deal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Britney Spears has reflected on her early record label auditions<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old pop superstar was just 15 when – after moving on from the Mickey Mouse Club – she decided to record her own music, and her mother put her in touch with lawyer Larry Rudolph who in turn suggested she record a demo of an unused Toni Braxton song to “get in the door at record labels”.<\/p>\n
In an except from new memoir ‘The Woman In Me’ shared by People magazine, she wrote: “Larry took me around [New York City], and I went into rooms full of executives and sang Whitney Houston\u2019s \u2018I Have Nothing’.<\/p>\n
\u201cGazing out at the rooms full of men in suits looking me up and down in my small dress and high heels, I sang loud.\u201d<\/p>\n
Once she signed the deal and her recording contract was in place, the label wanted her “in a studio immediately”, as she set to work on her debut album ‘…Baby One More Time’.<\/p>\n
\nShe continued: \u201cI worked for hours straight. My work ethic was strong. If you knew me then, you wouldn\u2019t hear from me for days.<\/p>\n
\n“I would stay in the studio as long as I could. If anyone wanted to leave, I\u2019d say, \u2018I wasn\u2019t perfect.\u2019<\/p>\n
\n“When all the songs were done, someone said, \u2018What else can you do? Do you want to dance now?\u2019 I said, \u2018Hell yeah, I do!’ “<\/p>\n
\nBritney is still keen to make new music after returning to the scene alongside will.i.am on their ‘Mind Your Business’ collaboration.<\/p>\n
\nAnd she recently admitted she wants to team up with Jay-Z on a new version of his wife Beyonce’s 2016 song ‘Daddy Lessons’.<\/p>\n
\nSharing a video of herself dancing to the track on Instagram, she wrote: “So many people have done remixes to my songs without my knowledge \u2026 so I guess it\u2019s safe to say I will be redoing this song eventually !!!<\/p>\n
\n\u201cJust need to meet Jay-Z and add a rap to it \u2026 what\u2019s up ??? (sic)”<\/p>\n
\nThe song originally featured on Beyonce’s ‘Lemonade’ album seven years ago, while a remix featuring The Chicks came out later that year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
