The 34-year-old pop beauty recently announced the track 'Make Me', featuring rapper G-Eazy, from her upcoming ninth album and Calvin, 32, is a huge fan.

The mother of two - who has sons Jayden, nine, and Sean, 10, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline - has been working on her forthcoming album, which is as-yet-untitled, for two years and admitted the delay was down to putting her family before her music.

She previously said: "I'm gonna do [a new album] slowly but surely. There's a lot going on with my kids and schools and, you know, adding new sports and stuff like that. I'm gonna try to do my best to do an amazing album, but it's not my full priority right now."
