Britney Working With Timbaland, Pharrell On New Album

Britney Spears is working with Timbaland and Pharrell among others on her next studio, it has emerged.

The news comes via British R&B singer / producer Taio Cruz, who is working on the follow-up to Britney's 'Blackout' record.

"Her career is riding on this record so I need to sit down and talk to her to make sure she is ready." Says Cruz to the Glasgow Sunday Mail. "The songs will be good - she has Kanye, Pharrell, Timbaland and me doing tracks for her."

"It is more a matter of whether she is mentally and physically ready for this. On the last album, Blackout, she was tired and people were forcing her to put another album out. If she is ready, it will be huge - she just came with Blackout too early."
