Britney Spears’ next single from her highly anticipated seventh studio album, Femme Fatale is the upbeat, "Till The World Ends”. Produced by Dr. Luke and Max Martin, it’s the follow-up to the million plus-selling infectious first single, “Hold It Against Me,” which debuted in the No. 1 position on both the Hot 100 Singles and the Hot Digital Songs charts. “Hold It Against Me” ranked No. 1 on digital singles charts in 20 markets worldwide, and the video clip is currently the #1 video on MTV and VH-1 in the U.S.

Femme Fatale is in stores and available at digital retailers on March 29th.

Notes On The New Britney Album

The following italicized article is from www.digitalspy.co.uk:

Earlier today we were treated to a sneak preview of the new Britney album. Here's what we found:

* Circus is essentially a sequel to last year's Blackout album - it has the same fierce electro sound, but Britney sounds more confident and there's less reliance on the vocoder.

* Circus also has something Blackout didn't - a proper, teary-eyed ballad. It's called 'Out From Under' and it's really quite lovely.

* The title track is a rampaging monster of a song whose chorus kicks off with a Max Martin-style thump. "I'm the ringleader, I call the shots, I'm a firecracker, I like it hot," Britney sings on the verses. It's been confirmed as the next single and the video's already been shot.

* Britney's introduced as "our very own pop princess, now Queen of Pop" on 'Kill The Lights'. That's her off Madonna's Christmas card list then...

* The song itself is almost as knowing as Blackout's 'Piece Of Me', with Britney taking the paparazzi to task. "You don't like me, I don't like you," she tells them. "Only difference is you still listen, I don't have to."

* 'If U Seek Amy', on which Britney actually reunites with Max Martin, is 50% glam, 50% rave. The title has nothing to do with a certain Miss Winehouse and makes more sense if you say it quickly... just don't do so in polite company.

Nicole Morier Blogs On Britney

Hey friends. I'm really excited to announce that I have another song coming out with the one and only Miss Britney Spears. This time I actually wrote the song with her!

It's titled "Mmm Papi" and is a super fun up-beat track with handclaps, funky guitars and dirty bass licks. I'll leave to ponder exactly what's the song about till it is officially released on the album "Circus" which drops Dec. 2nd.

Britney and I spent last Spring and Summer writing several other tracks some of which will be released as bonus tracks or at a latter date. On banging song called "Rock Me In" that we wrote with my good friend Greg Kurstin will definitely be on the iTunes bonus and International CD bonus track.

Others that you may or may not get to hear are called Follow My Fingers, This Kiss, and Whiplash.

Love Nicole

p.s. she was super sweet and really fun to work, with as well as a total pro.
