Britney Spears Recording New Songs

Britney Spears shows no sign of taking a break from her seriously heavy work schedule - she's already back in the studio recording new songs.

The singer has spent most of 2009 on the road as part of a world tour and while she's on the European leg of her lengthy trek, she's taken time out of rehearsals to work on the follow-up to 2008's 'Circus'.

Spears confirmed the news on Twitter, where she wrote: "In Stockholm in the studio with Max Martin."

Britney and Max have worked together extensively in the past, with the producer creating hits throughout her entire career - including 'Baby One More Time', 'Crazy', 'Stronger', 'Oops!... I Did It Again' and 'If U Seek Amy'.
