Britney Spears’ ‘Glory’ marks tenth anniversary

The ninth studio album by Britney Spears, ‘Glory’, marks its tenth anniversary since its release on August 26, 2016. The project represented a significant creative era for the pop star, blending pop with R&B, electronic, and hip hop elements.

During the recording process, which began in 2014, Spears reportedly exercised substantial creative control in the studio despite being under a legal conservatorship at the time. The album featured Spears as a co-writer on several tracks and was executive produced by Karen Kwak of RCA Records to ensure a sound that was both fresh and characteristic of her established style.

The era was launched with the single ‘Make Me...’, a collaboration with rapper G-Eazy, which reached number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. ‘Glory’ remains the final studio album released by Spears.
