Britney Spears’ Manager Says Her New Album Sounds Like The Weeknd

Good news, Team Britney!

The Princess of Pop is almost finished her ninth studio album, and her manager has dished up a bunch of details about the new disc.

The juiciest of which is the fact that it apparently sounds like Brit and R&B sensation The Weeknd had a musical baby.

“[It’s] probably about 80% of the way done. I’m thrilled with it,” Larry Rudolph told the Las Vegas Sun. “I spoke to her this morning and she said ‘This is my favourite album that I’ve ever done’.”

“It’s different, it’s a turn,” he explained. “The last few albums have been pretty straightforward pop. This is almost like if you can imagine Britney meets The Weeknd. It’s got a really interesting vibe, it’s a lot of really cool stuff.”

“I think people are going to absolutely love it. She sounds amazing on it. She has not sounded better in I don’t know when,” he continued. “She’s really excited about it, she’s done a lot of writing on the album and I think it’s gonna be really big.”

And while Rudolph confirmed that there was no working title for the follow-up to 2013’s Britney Jean as of yet, the record is likely to be released later this year.

And now we play the waiting game.
