Toxic is such a perfect amalgamation of many different forces to make one thing. The samples, the production, the writing, the performance. Fantastic synergy. Truly innovative.
The synth is fat and stinky, too. The descending dominant harmony, tritone substitution, color tones in the wide (two octaves for a pop song) ranged minor melody all go really far towards making this track stand out among a sea of pop songs that sound identical, but the instrumentation might be doing most of the heavy lifting in my opinion. The juxtaposition of synth and strings is great.
@@NuclearDuckie02 there’s a lot i could reply to with this so this is a bit long but i think the one other song they produced that’s the most like toxic would be “I Need More” by Christina Milian & “Glide” by Rachel Stevens (they both have the same instrumental but different lyrics and vocal melodies). there’s also a few other demos they made with Cathy that no artists ever picked up - “Hysteria”, “Ur No Good”, “Phony Lullaby” and “Subway To Ur Heart”. “Hysteria” and “Phony Lullaby” are the most like “Toxic” of the 4 but they’re all really good and worth listening they’ve produced a lot of songs though. there’s a full list somewhere online i believe (discogs or wikipedia???). also there’s other songs they’ve produced and never released bc artists didn’t pick them up or whatever, BritneyOnline has some of them uploaded bc were meant for Britney to record & release (demos written by Cathy, Michelle Bell, Michelle Escoffery, Karen Poole…) my favorite song they’ve ever produced is probably “Disguise My Love” written by Michelle Bell
fun fact: this demo doesn't even have just cathy's vocals. this also has emma holmgren's vocals, which, along with some of cathy's vocals, are also used in the final version of the song.
@@matthewarroyo3118 mostly in the chorus in the word “toxic” + the 2 lines “with a taste of your lips i’m on a ride” and “with a taste of a poison paradise”
Some things missing here: extra strings added onto the Bollywood string sample, the surfer/secret agent/James Bond theme style guitar, the reversal of the high string sample after “slowly it’s taking over me”, and obviously Britney (Cathy sounds amazing of course and her vocals were also used in the final version). This was already a stellar track in demo stage and these added elements elevated it to legendary status
I think Cathy is worth about £40 million, thanks to her talent, hard work and being in the right place at the right time. She knows EXACTLY what makes a great pop song and she's reaped the rewards.
I don't think this vibe suited Kylie - it's just not her - rather like the whole Body Language Album wasn't really her - it was an attempt to pander to the American audience and what Kylie has probably realised through hard earned experience is that when she isn't herself, she isn't successful.
Many people couldn’t see the potential of this song for some reason. Britney Spears had to fight her label to get it released as the second single from In The Zone. It wasn’t even originally planned to be one of the singles at all and it has become her signature song.
This is definitely one of the best pop songs written. I don't actually listen to Britney Spears music or teen pop but I have to say this song is my jam lol. Cathy did a great job writing it and definitely can sing it too. I like the fact they kept some of her vocals in the final version it seems. I would also say Britney's vocals on her version of the song is the best she has sounded than on any of her other hits lol.
@rebecca8525 Amd now, hopefully, you realize you _still_ don't care for Britney's music... because this wasn't written by Britney. "Britney" is a prop, not an artist.
Yeah this can be called a real sample because you hear the direct chops without any modulation. The strings in Britney 's version are technically an interpolation of a chopped sample
@@magusl9628 yeah this theres like eighty bajillion takes where shes off... & i think they manually tuned some of her vocals a bit. nothing against her though!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a musician (bass) this song isnt necesarily my genre but its pop genius, regardless of genre the composition is superb and any one interested in music could not fail to be impressed by this song. Hats off to the writers, when they listened to this final version there must have been some smiled glances at one another that they had created something special. Brilliant song by a stunning women.
OMG I grew up with CD's songs during the '90s. I'm surprised she did a demo of Toxic and even did some backup vocals to Britney. I mean, I like both tho.
Cathy wrote this song, with Janet Jackson in mind, then for Kylie Minogue after that fell through, and it ended up being the Britney tune we've liked for two decades!
They kept the same chorus harmonies for the official record, probably because they didn't want to throw away the sound that went really well with the beat.
You have to give some credit to Britney's producers for bringing in session musicians for the strings and guitar parts but yeah, this is already 80% there.
It wasn’t actually ‘Britney’s producers’ it was Bloodshy & Avant who have worked with a variety of artists and wrote this song in collaboration with Cathy Dennis and Henrik Jonback.
@@TombRaiderSyd Only for the string arrangements and bass, the guitar was played by Henrik Jonback, one of the co-writers and the strings were sampled from a 1981 Bollywood movie song, the session musicians played what had already been written over the sample but they didn’t bring in any new producers, the song was complete by the time it got to Britney.
It's not a surprise why Cathy Dennis' version and delivery is far better than anyone else's, as she's a professional artist and singer/songwriter and this is her compositio! However, what must be mentioned is the factor that is born and not taught, which is Cathy's known vocal characteristic being a mix of calm, sweet, feminine but always with a tension and simmering rage beneath the surface, and sensuality. It's funny because I could really see her performing her composition Toxic with her old group D-Mob or even as her solo artist days.
This song was originally composed by Cathy Dennis for Kylie Minogue but she turned it down. Britney ended up recording it and thanks to this it became a hit, obviously Cathy has made a lot of money with this song.
I bet the majority of her songs don't belong to her. Baby One More Time, her biggest hit, is one that was already pretty much a finished demo by the time she put her vocals over the track.
Happens more often than you think. When you trying to sell a song to an artist and their label you tend to package it up with giant handles all over it. Many people will even hire a singer for the demo that can imitate the artist you are trying to sell to.
Yeah it’s very common way to sell the song since it shows the idea of the full package. Robyn did Piece of Me and they left some of her vocals on the final edit.
Possibly the best pop song of the 21st century so far. NO song sounds like this. There are elements of the bond theme, surf rock, Indian music, flamenco...but it doesn't "just" sound like that.
So basically her voice was 90% of the song. Bridge to the chorus, chorus, and she did the solo on CLIMAX lol. But of course, it became famous because of Britney.
I mean, thanks for sharing, but the Digg link sending me here had me thinking Britney totally reimagined the song. It's almost identical. Cool song though!
THIS WAS ACTUALLY WRITTEN FOR KYLIE MINOGUE BUT SHE PASSED ON IT. AND I KNOW I'M GONNA GET A LOT OF HATE FOR THIS BUT I PREFER CATHY SINGING THIS WAY MORE THAN BRITNEY. DON'T KNOW WHY SHE DIDN'T KEEP THIS SONG FOR HERSELF.
I don't understand why this woman couldn't market this originally - as it is vastly superior in every way? Was it that they needed Britney's marketing machine?
I think you answered your own question. It's safe to say Cathy Dennis, then in her 30s, wasn't willing to be sexualized like Brittney Spears in order to sell albums.
Cathy Dennis is more successful as a songwriter. As someone mentioned on one of her music vids, it's better to be rich and unknown than to be rich and famous
She would make more money this way probably. She should be around at least 45-50 now. Btw, I think Cathy is SUPER HOT TOO. But that’s another topic. Why tour and get tired like the young guys? Just sit in your mansion and sip your drink when royalty checks coming thruuuuuuuuuuu
Look what happened to Britney over the last couple of decades. There’s your answer. Why put up with all that when you can make a fortune and still be able to go to the shops or walk the dog without people or paparazzi hassling you.
Cathy Dennis is listed as an "additional writer" for this song... even though her "addition" was _the entire song._ Because that's what the music industry is, folks... Mouseketeers lip syncing over other people's music and calling it their own.
This song was never gonna be supremely phenomenal if it wasn't sung by britney. But talking about this iconic song, in the instrumental bridge part, whose voice was it? This demo sounds quite similar to the official version. Did britney not entirely sing it?
@@WHDRWN Gaga has rarely nabbed demos lol, especially in her early career. She's always written her own songs from scratch. She started as a songwriter for Britney, in fact.
@@tylergarret2 dude no lol. every single artist has their songs written FOR them, thats how the industry works. and they aren't even really artists, they are performers and entertainers. the industry is scummy.
It would've been very interesting to see Cathy sing this song live because it was already notable that her live singing was just like the studio version of her songs.
Britney's voice may not be as good as Cathy's, but Britney gave life to this song. Her performances, the music video, the presence and everything made the song that big.

Cathy is a stone cold genius songwriter/musician. This _demo_ track is such a fucking _flex._ Jaw dropping. What a woman.
imagine having written one of the best songs of all times, waking up every day and being able to say -i dont need to do shi t today, i wrote toxic.

Such a good pop song. Cathy's vocals are great. You can hear them all over Britney's version.

Amazing, thank you for giving this to Britney!
Not only is Cathy's singing pitch perfect but I like how the melody is so much cleaner than Britney's version. Its like classy grunge.
