Britney Spears makes her stunning return with a dance floor gem Hold Me Closer in a new collab with Elton John.

We all knew Britney could produce a banger for the floor, but who knew Elton John’s songs were so freaking perfect for the dance floor? Having recently teamed up with Dua Lipa, and PNAU, with Cold Heart, The iconic piano man is paving the way for a series of spectacular dance floor anthems.

Hold Me Closer is the perfect song/collab to welcome Britney back to the airwaves. The pop singer’s vocals are steeped in maturity, and depth, engaging the listener to move with through all of the emotions that Elton John’s music is famous for.  Hold Me Closer has a lot of depth and feeling to it, encapsulating the feeling of being a free spirit, ocean, sand, and clubs. The lyrics ‘A spirit born of earth and water’ nail it to a T.
