Britney Spears ‘I Miss Y2K’ Playlist Is a Perfect Storm of Awesome
By Jem Aswad
LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – We at Variety Music don’t usually write about playlists, but it’s hard not to make an exception for Britney Spears’ “I Miss Y2K” collection at Apple Music .
“I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since a lot of these songs came out,” Spears told Apple Music. “For me these songs remind me of the time period when Oops! came out, which was a special time for me. I hope you love them like I do.”
With 30 songs ranging from Mariah and Madonna to Santana and Train — and of course a heaping dollop of Backstreet, ‘Nsync, and even BBMak — every song on the playlists evokes memories of flip-phones, floppy discs and CD-Roms.
Spears weighed in with some comments on the songs and artists. “Mariah is one of the main reasons I started singing…she is simply amazing. [Always Be My Baby] is one of my favorites by her.” … “[Crazy In Love] really makes me want to dance. Who better to make you want to dance than Beyonce?!” …
“I still listen to [the Dixie Chicks’ ‘Cowboy Take Me Away’]! This song makes me think of being outside ….. and falling in love of course!”
