Britney Spears’ Next Album Will Be ‘Hard-Hitting,’ Danja Says

The producer reveals he’s in pre-production on pop star’s LP; Darkchild also teases Gaga-esque ‘hits’ for Spears, in new online video. By James Dinh Britney Spears Photo: Jeremy Cowart/ WireImage Britney Spears has kept quiet since wrapping up her Circus Tour, a 97-date extravaganza that took her around the world last year. But according to some of the producers helping to prep her next album, it won’t be long before we hear from the pop star again. In fact, a musical storm is brewing, and producer/songwriter Danja told Rap-Up TV of what to expect from Spears’ next project. “We’re getting things together,” Danja revealed. The pair have collaborated on Spears’ last two LPs, and Danja is the man responsible for giving Brit her comeback single “Gimme More.” “I’ve actually been doing tracks that I love, and I can’t wait to go into full production mode, but more or so [we’re in] pre-production than anything,” he said. Asked what direction the pop princess’ material will take, the producer said it was hard to tell; things tended to be unpredictable in the studio. “We can start one way and end up a totally different way, I really don’t know,” Danja told Rap-Up TV. “I’m definitely gonna do my part and try to make it hard-hitting, uptempo, high-energy. That’s what I think we need and that’s what I’m gonna shoot for.” While Danja has worked with the likes of Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado, the producer revealed that the chemistry between him and Spears is “so easy and fun.” “It’s one of the easiest — probably the easiest — sessions I’ve had in my career, so I’m looking forward to getting back in,” he gushed. And after all the commotion that erupted after Spears’ demo version of Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” leaked online, it’s maybe not surprising that Darkchild is also onboard for the singer’s next album.

Britney Spears’ Leaked ‘Telephone’ Demo Confirmed By Producer Rodney Jerkins

‘It was an early demo stage of the version. It wasn’t even a mixed version,” Darkchild says on Ustream. By James Dinh Britney Spears Photo: MTV Over the weekend, music blogs all over the Internet went into a frenzy over a supposed Britney Spears version of Lady Gaga’s “Telephone,” but many were unsure whether it was actually the singer on the track. Last night, the producer of the song, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, took to Ustream to clarify that while he had no part in leaking the track, it is indeed Ms. Spears. If Britney Spears Was In The ‘Telephone’ Video “As ya’ll know, it’s been an overwhelming day today. I want to say to all the people on Twitter, all Britney’s fans, all the Darkchild fans, I was caught off guard last night with this ‘Telephone’ leak of Britney,” he said. “I’ve been asked to leak the version, and I haven’t leaked the version, and then last night, there was a version leaked. I really don’t know who leaked the version. It was an early demo stage of the version. It wasn’t even a mixed version. I would never leak something without Britney’s approval, without Larry Rudolph, without Jive Records,” Darkchild continued. While the producer made sure he cleared the air about the leak, he also spilled a few details about a recent visit he had with Britney’s manager Larry Rudolph. “On Saturday evening, the night of the fight, Larry Rudolph, Britney Spears’ manager, came to my house to watch the fight and we had an incredible conversation about Britney Spears’ new album. And we talked about the direction of her album, he gave me some insight into the direction and he wants me to work on stuff for the album,” he said. The producer went on to reveal he couldn’t be any more focused on the pop singer, and he’s determined to “write an international smash for her new album.” And when it comes to delivering top-notch songs, Darkchild admitted that he’s studied the singer’s most recent albums in preparation to serve up something greater. “I think the fans deserve it, I think Britney deserves it and I can’t wait to get back into the studio with Britney. I’m about to go crazy on making something that’s so crazy. Since I’ve had conversation with Larry Rudolph, I’ve studied some stuff from her last album and the Blackout album, and that was great stuff, but I think I’m going to bring something a little bit greater. I’m gonna give it my all to deliver something that’s crazy, crazy amazing for Britney.” Related Videos Frame-By-Frame: ‘Telephone’ All The Buzz On Lady Gaga And Beyonce’s ‘Telephone’ Related Photos If Britney Spears Was In The ‘Telephone’ Video Related Artists Britney Spears Lady Gaga
