New Music: Britney Spears - the Dreaming Mix of 'Perfume' surfaces online...

The official Dreaming Mix for Britney's second single 'Perfume' debuted last night. The Sia-penned cut, which was co-produced by Dr. Luke and will.i.am, is taken from the deluxe edition of her upcoming album 'Britney Jean'.

Minimal production involves less bass and additional strings so that it is more of a vulnerable ballad than a midtempo number, in which the vocals take center stage. It's ironic that the remix is called 'dreaming' because the only thing this stripped back make-over did was make me want to curl up under the duvet, drink hot cocoa and doze off to sleep. Boring Spears is just no fun.
