Britney Spears - Original Doll (2005 Unreleased Album)

“This is my wish that we all feel connected
This is my wish that nobodies neglected”

Original Doll was set to be Britney's fifth studio album, slated for release in 2005. A more personal album by Britney, it would have an organic, dark, intimate feel. However, the album's release was cancelled by Britney’s management for unknown reasons. Other songs recorded for the album were unknown until 2012, when Britney fans got in contact with Michelle Bell, who wrote some of the songs recorded for the album.

It is known that Britney started writing songs for the album in late 2003. She started recording the album in 2004 whilst on The Onyx Hotel Tour. 

In December 2004, Britney made a surprise appearance on KIIS-FM in Los Angeles to premiere a new song she recorded. She premiered the rough demo of her song "Mona Lisa." She was also given an interview, where she stated she was halfway through recording the album called "Original Doll.” She also stated it would be released very soon, probably in the summer of 2005. Jive were apparently furious that Britney had premiered the song on the radio without their permission, and they stated she had only started recording the album.

"We got a call on the request line from Britney Spears saying she wanted to come by and play her new song," KIIS-FM music director Julie Pilat said. "Then she showed up and world-premiered her new song," which is called "Mona Lisa." "It definitely has the raw thing going on it," Spears said during her station visit. "I recorded this song when I was on tour, right before I hurt my knee. It was done, I think, four or five months ago. My band, we did not use ProTools or anything with it. It is all live. There is a lot of stuff you can do to make it better. It is going to get better. It will get better — this is a really, really rough mix."

1. KIIS-FM Interview (Intro) - I decided to add this as an intro because it gives the album a back story and a “rebellious” feel.
2. Mona Lisa - Confirmed by Britney to be on the album
3. Money, Love & Happiness - This song was registered on ASCAP in 2005 and was presumed to be recorded for Original Doll. It has the same raw/rough sound as Mona Lisa.
4. My Fantasy (Interlude) - This recording was posted by Britney on her website in 2004. Although I don’t think it was meant for the album, it ties the songs together nicely and adds a story.
5. Ouch - This song was registered on ASCAP in 2005 and was presumed to be recorded for Original Doll. The song is about Britney and Kevin’s early relationship.
6. Peep Show - Leaked by Michelle Bell (Confirmed Producer of Original Doll)
7. Conscience - Leaked by Michelle Bell. In April 2012, she revealed on her Tumblr blog she had been asked to stop leaking the songs by Britney’s management. She later stated because of her actions, she would not be able to leak Peep Show or any other song recorded for The Original Doll in full.
8. Someday (I Will Understand) - This song was written and composed by Britney after finding out she was pregnant which would line up with the timeline of this album. It is also a very personal song.
9. Take Off - Confirmed by Michelle Bell to be on the album
