Britney and Blackout producer Danja tweeted about working with each other again, and Britney was filmed in a recording studio with Darkchild on X-Factor. Now we have as close to official confirmation as you can get!
In an interview with That Grape Juice, singer/songwriter Elijah Blake confirmed that Team Britney has enlisted the songwriter to submit music for Britney's next studio album: “I think[/font]
[font='lucida grande', ', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif} ']her fans will be surprised by it. I would say its definitely the ‘unexpected’ Britney in so many ways, in that she’s playing with new textures and stomping on new grounds and genres.”
Blake is behind "Climax" by Usher and "No Love Allowed" by Rihanna.
In a related story, Britney's manager Adam Leber just followed producer Diplo on Twitter. Diplo produced "Climax" by Usher which was written by Elijah Blake - so it seems we're getting an Elijah Blake-penned, Diplo produced smash from Britney for her next album.
Britney's next album will more than likely release sometime next year, making this another year when the big three: Britney, Beyonce and Lady GaGa decide to release their latest albums in the same year.[/font]

David: Sweet. People won’t know this now but they will when we put this out…you’re working on the new Britney album.
Elijah: Yeah.
David: Congratulations, that’s seriously epic. Being renown for your work with Urban acts, how much of that sound can we expect to hear on the project.
Elijah: I think her fans will be surprised by it. I would say its definitely the ‘unexpected’ Britney in so many ways, in that she’s playing with new textures and stomping on new grounds and genres.
It’s still shaping up so I wouldn’t wanna say too much, but I do wanna offer up some new melodic rhythms and flow to the top line.
From talking to her she’s definitely trying to push the envelope this time- and really talk from a more personal point of view and with Rodney Jerkins by her side I’m hella excited. You’re talking about Darkchild, the guy who changes music over and over again and never runs out of ideas.
This album is gonna be crazy! I write from a more cerebral place I would say. My lyrics are more like a conversation or a thought process, I want people to hear my songs and think honesty.. I’d love to share that with her as well. She’s so cool and down to earth and she gives off so much confidence that writing with her is easy.
