American pop star Britney Spears is reportedly working on her first album in eight years, and she might have enlisted English singer and songwriter Charli XCX, according to The Sun.
As well as releasing her own critically acclaimed music, Charli XCX has established a reputation as a prolific songwriter, crafting the 2019 hit “Señorita” for Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, in addition to tracks for Blondie, RAYE, Gwen Stefani, Selena Gomez and more.
“The Britney album is being kept top secret,” the source told The Sun regarding Spears’ tenth album. “Work has been going behind the scenes for quite a while to gather a series of killer songs to bring Britney back with a bang.”
The source continued, “Charli has a great track record when it comes to writing clever pop songs. She went into the studio earlier in the year to make some songs using Britney’s guidance of what she is after. She came up with a really strong track that is expected to make it on to the album, which Britney’s team hope will be out in 2024.”
Next year will mark 25 years since Britney Spears‘ debut album, and according to The Sun, she plans to celebrate by returning with her first record in eight years.
