LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Britney Spears will release her sixth album, “Circus,” on December 2.
The first single, “Womanizer,” is set to hit radio on September 22.
Brit’s new album, produced by the Atlanta production team The Outsyders, has the pop star teaming up with producers Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Danja, Bloodshy and Avant.
The 26-year-old mom spent much of her summer in the recording studio working on the upcoming album, which manager Larry Rudolph couldn’t be happier with.
“She’s working with a team of top-notch producers and songwriters and we’re very excited about what she’s accomplished so far,” Larry told Access Hollywood in June.
According to Brit, fans can expect her best music yet.
“I’m writing every day, right here at the piano in this living room,” Brit told OK! in August. “This is my best work ever.”
As for the sound of “Circus,” Britney said she is working with talented people who are helping her take her songs up to the next level.
“I think it is more urban. I’m working with producers who are just amazing,” she added. “There is this fresh new energy.”
The pop star wasn’t only just in the studio this summer. Britney also found time to tape a video segment for Madonna’s “Sticky & Sweet” tour singing an except from Madge’s “Human Nature.”
As if recording a new album and guest starring in Madonna’s tour weren’t enough, Brit closed out the summer, sweeping the MTV VMA Awards, winning three awards, including video of the year.
The release of “Circus” coincides with Brit’s 27th birthday.
