Charli XCX is reportedly writing Britney Spears’ new music
The 31-year-old singer has reportedly been passed “pointers” about the sound the ‘Toxic’ performer wants on her next releases, and is thought to have already turned out a “really strong” track as part of the project.
A music source told The Sun: “The Britney album is being kept top secret. “Work has been going on behind the scenes for quite a while to gather a series of killer songs to bring Britney back with a bang.
“She is one of the biggest stars of the 21st Century so there is 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 in the year to make some songs using Britney’s guidance
“She came up with a really strong track that is expected to make it on to the album, which Britney's team hope will be out in 2024.”
Next year will mark 25 years since Britney’s smash debut album, and The Sun added she is “planning to celebrate by returning with her first big release since 2016”.
The publication added the pair are “yet to meet”.
But Britney will be aware of Charli’s career as a pop songwriter before she had six Top 10 hits of her own.
Charli has written hits for singers including Selena Gomez and Gwen Stefani, and wrote Shawn Mendes’ and Camila Cabello’s ‘Senorita’, which spent six weeks at No1 in 2019.
