Britney Spears going alternative on new album?

To add yet another genre into the already overcrowded mix for the new Britney Spears album, it looks like the Queen B could be playing around with some alternative sounds after the music publisher of Estonian pop singer Kerli let the news slip during a live chat on Kyte TV yesterday.

When asked about the direction of Kerli’s upcoming sophomore album, the music publisher said that Britney is making a dance record and that she’s actually heard several of the tracks that are being considered for Britney to record. She then described them as being “very electronic” and “kind of alternative”, adding that they’re “very different” from anything Britney has done before.

Fitting in with the alternative theme is news that Britney is working with producer Rusko, who is responsible for the new M.I.A. single “XXXO”.

Earlier last week Britney’s management released a statement regarding her relationship with her agent/boyfriend Jason Trawick, mentioning that the singer has been “busy in the studio working on her next album”.

Very exciting stuff. Perhaps we can get another “And Then We Kiss”, a song that is one of the most underrated and brilliant of Spears career. Thanks to Ethan for this news.

    AND THEN WE KISS <3 THAT SONG IS ELIC! :)

  • Ethan

    Aww! Thanks for the shout out! :D

    And Then We Kiss is one of my favorites!

  • JayCred

    I’m really not hyped but looking forward to it. I’d love for her to go a more rock sound. But really, anything she does is good for me. I wish she’d come out with some more records like Toy Soldier and Break the Ice though.

  • liam

    And then we kiss
    Boys and girls
    Unusual u

    britney voice is damn hot on electronica beats and that’s when she actually sings omg! Her lower register gives me life! Britney just give me the album I can’t wait anymore

  • fareth

    OMG SOMEONE PLEASE LEAK SOMETHING FROM HER! I CANT WAIT!

  • Jaycee

    OMG I CANT WAIT!!
    If shes gonna go alternative I think she should work with Emily Haines from Metric. I really hope Brits gonna write most of the tracks for her 7th studio album, but unfortunately that rarely happens with her :(
    But whatever I love anything she touches doesnt really matter if she writes it or not.

  • babyonemoretime…

    HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! I CANT WAIT!!!!!! I am sure this album is gonna be the best album of the decade topping blackout! There is just no stopping the queen B, omg omg omg! The anticipation is killin me…Alternativeney all the way!

    Oh and “And then we kiss” is the best fucking song of the decade followed closely by “gimme more”! And was co-written by Mrs Spears herself.

  • kim

    AAAAAAHHH SO HYPEDDDD

  • FuckYouBish

    All these rumors with the producers some must be fake or rumors. Like Kylie working with redone and redone isn’t even on her new album blah.

  • ovendisco

    @FuckYouBish Kylie worked with redone on her new album apparently Kylie decided to leave out the redone songs .

  • TheRealist1

    I don’t care who on the album..just as long as she hurries up and bring it out. Gaga is great but I need my Britney fix ASAP!

  • Jesses Girl

    Britney can take an “ISH” in a paper bag and itll be a hit!

    i just wish she was good at dancing like she used 2 be though.
    you can tell shes not into it anymore :(

  • Yumm

    I’m so fuckin excited for this album it’s going to be so amazing……I have a feeling it’s gonna be like In The Zone on steriods because it sounds very experimental and like it may have a wide range of sounds! I really hope Jive actually lets her release song she wrote for it like they did with In The Zone because Britney is a great writer and the more imput she has on a project the better it comes out!

  • KingBeaArthur

    Wow…so Ethan gets a shout out? Not cool, Proph…not cool at all

  • MusicILoveDeDe

    YES Prophet And Then We Kiss is one of my all time faves from her top ten for sure

  • TJ

  • b

  • den

    I loved And Then We Kiss, but if I like urban Brit more.
    Glad there is any Britney music at all though

  • B-man15

    Ok Britney is pop itself. She needs to let the alternative music alone! Come on!!

    On the other hand I´m a really excited for the album. But I do not believe in that Britney goes Alternative blah!

  • http://www.theprophetblog.net The Prophet

    Of course she won’t do real alternative lol, but maybe she will give her big pop songs a slight alternative edge.

  • liam

    @ britneyonemorrtime Britney best material was always the songs she wrote! Since In The Zone tho the songs she always wrote for her albums since are the ones that never make it on the albums like:
    Love is a state of grace
    What you sippin on
    Rebellion
    Sugar fall
    Kiss you all over
    Baby boy
    Let go
    I can go but it’s like it’s just about making cash over what Britney wants tho! But I’m always gonna cop whatever she drops tho cause Brit has an ear for music.

    As many are, I am anticipating the return of Britney. In The Zone and Blackout remain her top albums for me.

    @liam: I love Let Go and Baby Boy, and constantly listen to them weekly still.

    @Proph: “And Then We Kiss” is one of those tracks that the record label wasted. Although it would probably never have been a hit here in the States, I believe it would have done great worldwide. B In The Mix was a waste of time and money because they basically half-assed the project and let it suffer a miserable death. The same goes with “Over to You Now” from Chaotic.

  • B-man15

    @ Proph

    Well in that case am I excited! I hope to hear songs like Freakshow, Toxic, Unusual You & Everytime! Or somethinh I never heard from her. Something totally new, but not GaGa over the top!

    Any news when the album while come?

  • devil’s advocate

    GREAT… MORE ELECTRONIC AUTO-TUNED HYPE FOR THE PREMIER LIP SYNCER OF ALL TIME. REMEMBER AUZZIE’S, BITCH CANT SING… IT’S ALL ABOUT THE PRODUCTION. SO DONT EFFING COMPLAIN NEXT TIME SHE TOURS AUSTRALIA AND MIMES 110% OF THE BACKING TRACKS, HAHA. PEOPLE DOWN UNDER CAN BE A BIT STOOPID IMO. JUST SAYIN.

  • Yumm

    @ liam Britney did not write State Of Grace, Sugar Fall which is actually titled Hooked On, and Kiss You All Over…………she did however write Guilty, Let Go, Baby Boy, Rebellion, All That She Wants, She’ll Never Be Me, When I Say So, and most likey Dramatic along with many other tracks that are registered, but have never leaked. Jive doesn’t like to release her music because I feel like they don’t want her to be a real artist

  • Luca

    OMG ! OMG ! OMG !
    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES !!! I’m so excited about this ! Can’t wait !
    Go, go, go, Brit !!!

  • JOrGe

    EU AMO A BRITNEY!

    Ela commcerteza será + que tudo nesse novo álbum.

    Não vai ter para a puta da Ke$ha, nem para a louca da Lady Gaga.

    O BRASIL TA COM TIGO “B”

    I LOVE YOU BRITNEY SPEARS!

  • Donte FKA prince

    No More Electric dance pop crap no more i will not be buying this album if so i’m boycotting all dance music it’s trash kelis album is god awful and that M.I.A song sucks no more of this for me

  • liam

    @ yumm I feel you and that’s what I have been thinking as well. I think when her contract is over at Jive I think she can go independent cause she has a strong following and she is one of the few artist who can get a Top 40 track without doing any major promo and charting off airplay and a music video like back in the days. Then she can take back her creative control cause it seems Britney has a thing for urban music when she first had a lil creativity from her 3rd album Britney

  • dracomason

    @Prophet I bet your favorite unreleased Britney song after Sugarfall is Kiss You All Over.It so Janet-esque.I know it’s my favorite
