"The first song on this single "I'm A Slave 4 U" is a Prince inspired sleek R&B songs with a slinky urban beat. it's pretty good although when I first heard it on the radio I thought it was kind of stupid. But after hearing it again at a friends house I became interested in the song.
The second song "Intimidated" is a wonderful funky mix of R&B, pop, and dance with chunky electro-beats. The song is full of attitude and confidence and should have been on her album instead of just being the B side for a single."

A New Millennium, a New Britney

"As the first single from her third solo album, "Britney," Britney Spears returned to the airwaves with this single that not only caters to the listening preferences of young teens, but also to an urban/dance crowd. Utilizing strong beats and having somewhat of an urban, yet rap-free feeling, "I'm A Slave 4 U" is one of Britney's best singles ever. Gone are the days of singing about adolescent love and other themes cornered by the numerous teen acts out there. This single introduces a new Britney, one in the same caliber as Cristina Aguilera, where she wished to express the she is no longer a little girl. The video for this song validates this, as we see Britney as a now sultry, determined woman willing to explore her carnal desires. This song also marks a first for Britney as it became one of her few songs to successfully cross over to urban audiences (who loathe boy bands and teenage vixens). After it was remixed by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, urban audiences accepted Britney as a member of the genre and their has been no regrets."I'm A Slave 4 U" definitely marks a turning point in Britney's career. I only wish that top name remixers such as Thunderpuss, Hex Hector, and/or Johnny Vicious had done remixed versions of this great song. Regardlessly, it's a great song that breaks the music mold set already in place by numerous, and usually talentless teenage solo artists and boy bands."

Very Underrated Song

""I'm A Slave 4 U" was the first single from Britney's 2001 self-titled album. Although it was a hit, cracking the top 40 and climbing to #27, this song should've been huge. With the possible exception of her debut single "Baby One More Time," this is her best single hands down. Catchy, with a great beat *and a great music video* this is great pop. Plus, Britney's vocals are actually pretty decent. The Neptunes did an awesome job on this."
