‘Womanizer’ Track & Exclusive Video Deets

Wee! I managed to get some inside scoop from the set of Britney Spears’s new music video for the single Womanizer from her upcoming new album Circus. The video was filmed on location last night at Takami Sushi & Robata in downtown LA, which is why she was seen wearing that sassy black wig in the wee hours this morning. But, before we get to the spoilery video deets, let’s talk about the track itself. Popjustice was lucky enough to get a listen to the full track and offers some info about the song as well as our first look at the promo single artwork:
Without wishing to stir up any of that boring Christina vs Britney nonsense, Britney’s new single ‘Womanizer’ is exactly what Christina is trying - and failing - to do with her own new single. We heard the track in full earlier today and while we enjoyed (what we could hear of) the clip that leaked on Monday hearing the track in full - and at full volume - throws the whole thing into a brand new realm of amazingness. Stylistically it shares a lot in common with Rachel Stevens’ ‘Some Girls’ but in Britney terms it’s a brilliantly executed mashup of ‘Toxic’ with the last album’s more insane moments like ‘Ooh Ooh Baby’. Most important thing: it doesn’t fade at the end - the beat drops out while Britney trills the main “YOU’RE A WOMANIZER OH WOMANIZER OH YOU’RE A WOMANIZER BABY” hook. This track lays a really strong foundation for the fully-realised comeback that didn’t quite happen last time and it’s hard not to think of it as a late contender for single of the year. Like we said above, it’s literally quite good.

OMG … love it. I now understand that Womanizer is FINALLY GOING TO MAKE IT TO RADIO TOMORROW, so we should be hearing it for ourselves very, very soon. After the jump, find out some deets from the Womanizer video set including some exclusive info sent to me from an insider on set last night …

People magazine reports that Brit Brit plays a sexy waitress in the video which was shot at the Takami Sushi & Robata restaurant in LA last night:
On Wednesday, the pop star – incognito in a black wig and red lipstick – filmed the video for her upcoming single, “Womanizer,” and will continue shooting Thursday, sources tell PEOPLE. Filming took place Wednesday at Elevate Lounge, a club located within Takami Sushi & Robata restaurant on the 21st floor of an office building in downtown L.A., says a source. In the video, directed by Joseph Kahn (who worked with Spears on “Toxic” and “Stronger”), she plays a waitress. Dancers arrived at the shoot Wednesday morning dressed in waiter uniforms of white dress shirts, skinny ties, and black pants or leggings.

OMG, I love it … a little bird in the know tells me that Britney was in a great mood while on set and was never too far from her loyal manager Larry Rudolph who was there to oversee the shoot. Her costume for the video consisted of fake tattoos on her left arm, super tight leather-like pants, a cropped tuxedo vest and sleeveless tuxedo shirt. The video was mostly filmed in Elevate Lounge and one scene was filmed in the Takami kitchen. I can already see it in my head now … I bet the vid is gonna have a very futuristic, Manga-feel to it. I am dying. Firstly, I’m glad to know that her wig reversion has nothing to do with her old crazy ways and everything to do with her bright new future. I am very much looking forward to seeing this video. I hope the rumors are true and Womanizer will be released to radio tomorrow (I hear very early in the day, possibly around 6AM). Let the official comeback commence!
