A punk song back to back with a pop ballad in a skate video. Some of the earliest video edits from Welcome featured Britney Spears’ tracks which provided the perfect soundtrack for showcasing this boundary-free creative spirit and love for artistic juxtaposition.”They go on to say that the collaboration is “more than an ode to our favourite pop star, it’s a celebration of a generational icon who has influenced music, fashion, and pop culture as a whole for decades, and the enduring resilience required to achieve that.“It is a testament to the way different subcultures that may seem at odds can coexist and enrich one another.”Check out the full collection here." - NME.com
