Singer Britney Spears will reportedly release her much-anticipated new album next month.

According to the Las Vegas Sun Robin Leach, a follow-up to 2013’s Britney Jean could come in May.

In a tweet posted on Sunday, Leach said: “Coming Monday at Vegas DeLuxe: Britney selects her new single and will shoot its video the following Monday with album coming in four weeks.”

Spears has been working hard on what will be her ninth studio instalment with several songwriters including Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter, who are behind Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber’s recent hits. She has been planning to release the album later this year, but refuses to set a release date.

“Honestly, I’m just particular with this record. It’s my baby, and so I really want it done right,” she said of the album in an interview earlier this year.

“I just know that the direction I’m going in is so good. It’s the best thing I’ve done in a long time. I’m proud of the work, and it’s very different; it’s not what you would think at all.”
