In this episode, Mary and Kelsey rewind to 2003 for a nostalgic deep dive into Britney Spears’ In the Zone, the album that defined an era of frosted lip gloss, chrome eyeshadow, iconic hits and performances. In a track-by-[criminally underrated]-track listening party, this episode unpacks why In the Zone - with hits like Toxic, Me Against the Music, Everytime, Breathe On Me - wasn’t just a moment, it was the future of pop, planting the seeds for Britney’s foray into EDM with her subsequent album, Blackout, and so much more!
