With “Baby One More Time” Spears became internationally known in one fell swoop in 1998. The singer now shares a clip with a modified version of a 24-year-old song on Instagram.
Los Angeles – US singer Britney Spears (40) surprised her more than 41 million Instagram followers with a singing performance. She hasn’t shared her voice in an “extremely long time,” Spears wrote on Friday night (local time) for two short video clips in which she starts singing her previous hit song “Baby One More Time.”
In a dark, powerful voice, Spears sings altered versions of her 1998 hit with no instruments whatsoever in a darkened room. The singer writes in a longer post that she is in the process of sorting and washing laundry. In it, the 40-year-old laments that she had wanted to record a new version of the song for many years, but her “team” refused. She was oppressed and ruined by her family, but now she no longer wants to be a “victim,” writes Spears.
The singer has been under guardianship since 2008 after she collapsed mentally due to personal and professional problems. For years her father and other representatives were responsible for the musician’s affairs. Only last autumn was the guardianship lifted by a court. In June, Spears married longtime boyfriend, model and fitness trainer Sam Asghari (28) in California.
With her debut single “Baby One More Time” (1998), Spears suddenly became internationally known at the age of 16. She received a Grammy nomination and stormed the charts. dpa
