Britney's Beat Goes On
2008-08-13 21:16
New York - Britney Spears says her
sixth album will be out within nine months as the US pop star
seeks to rebound from troubling behaviour and hospital stints
for psychiatric evaluations.
In an interview with OK! magazine released on Wednesday,
the 26-year-old says she has written more for the new album
than her previous five studio albums, and describes it as
having an "urban" feel.
"I'm writing every day, right here at the piano," said
Britney, one of the world's most successful pop stars of the
early 2000s.
Britney has given few interviews in recent years as her life
spiralled out of control and she lost custody of her two sons.
Over the past 18 months she has been involved in an ugly
divorce from Kevin Federline, entered rehab treatment several
times and exhibited erratic behaviour like shaving her head and
attacking a photographer's car with an umbrella.
But in the past six months, her father Jamie has
taken over management of her affairs and she has also been
mentioned as a possible Emmy award nominee for guest
appearances on the TV series How I Met Your Mother.
Britney and her former backup dancer Federline, 30, divorced last year after two years of marriage.
The couple
have two children, Sean Preston and James Jayden.
