Circus is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Britney Spears. It was released on November 28, 2008, by JIVE Records. Looking to transition from her "darker and more urban" fifth studio album Blackout (2007), Spears wanted to make her next project "a little bit lighter", incorporating electropop and dance-pop styles.
With Circus, Britney Spears drops the richly self-referential posture she almost reluctantly adopted on last yearâ??s Blackout in favor of a far more risky mode: self-actualization, which is probably why the album frequently sounds so hollow.
