In the Zone impact

In late 2003, Spears released her fourth studio album In the Zone, which was deemed a metamorphosis for Spears by numerous critics. In the Zone was the transition into adulthood, where Spears expressed her maturity and sexuality. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic commented: "If 2001's Britney was a transitional album, capturing Spears at the point when she wasn't a girl and not yet a woman, its 2003 follow-up, In the Zone, is where she has finally completed that journey and turned into Britney, the Adult Woman." [207] Spears explained that the album's sexual nature (e.g. "Touch of my Hand") was subconscious and emerged while she was in the process of developing the album. In the Zone received positive reviews upon its release, with music critics widely praising its innovative production, aesthetics, lyricism and blend of eclectic genres, though some criticized Spears' vocals on certain tracks for being distant and processed. [208] [209]

Several critics have credited In the Zone for influencing pop music of the 2000s. Celebrating the album's 15th anniversary in 2018, Jason Lipshutz of Billboard claimed it "signaled a more mature direction for Spears as she explored electronic music and hip-hop like never before. And the record's lyrics — which referenced her breakup with Justin Timberlake and pushed back at her critics in the media — celebrated new levels of independence and candor for the singer. [210]

Various artists have payed homage to In the Zone including The Weekend, [211] Ellie Goulding, [212] Rita Ora, [213] Selena Gomez, [214] Taylor Swift, [215] Katy Perry, [216] and Ethel Cain. [217]
