Britney Spears will “never” record new music.
The 'Toxic' singer – who hasn't released a studio album since 2016's 'Glory' – slammed recent reports that Charli XCX was approached to write tracks for her comeback album and insisted the fact that she was just writing “for fun”. or for other artists little known today.
She wrote on Instagram: “Just to make it clear, most of the news is trash!!! They keep saying I'm turning to random people to make a new album… I'm not going back never in the music industry!!!
“When I write, I write for fun or I write for others!!!
“For those of you who have read my book, there is a lot you don't know about me…I have written over 20 songs for other people in the last two years!!! am a nigger and honestly i enjoy it. way!!! (sic)”
The 42-year-old star also criticized the fact that her memoir, “The Woman in Me,” was published “illegally” without her approval.
She added: “People are also saying that MY BOOK WAS ILLEGALLY RELEASED WITHOUT MY APPROVAL and that is far from the truth…have you read the news these days??? I am so LOVED and blessed! !! (sic)”
It was claimed Charli submitted a “really strong” track for Britney's consideration.
A source recently told The Sun newspaper: “Work has been going on behind the scenes for some time to put together a series of killer songs to bring Britney back with a bang.
“She’s one of the biggest stars of the 21st century, so there’s pressure for the music to be great. Charli has a great track record when it comes to writing clever pop songs.
“She went into the studio earlier this year to write a few songs following Britney's advice.
“She found a really strong track that should be on the album, which Britney's team hopes will be released in 2024.”
