The latest pop act looking to gain a bit of credibility through the producers they employ is Britney Spears. Having seen ex Justin Timberlake gain some cool through collaborations with the likes of the Neptunes and Nelly, Britney is now on the search for producers to work with, even though no schedule has been set for her fourth studio album by record label Jive. Both William Orbit and Daft Punk are reported to have met Britney to discuss potential collaborations.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter Britney revealed: "Musically, I seriously think I am going to do a little bit more rock, hip-hop and just play with it. That's the direction I'm in now, but who knows? A month from now, it may change, and I could come up with this amazing, amazing song, and then everything just kind of shifts."
