I love that she doesn't need to associate herself with established, respected names to fool people into becoming a big name. THEY come to her.

PEOPLE: Britney Spears Returning to 'Edgy' Sound on New Album


While Britney Spears's new single, "Hold It Against Me," may have provided an upbeat preview of her new album, what will the rest of the work sound like?

"It's way more edgy than the last album," songwriter Claude Kelley, who composed several tracks for the as-yet-untitled album, tells PEOPLE at a New York NARAS reception. He adds that Spears, 29, is returning to the grittier sounds of 2007's Blackout. "[It's] more in the vein of the album before," he says.

Though Kelley admits he's not completely sure what the "final product is going to be," he does say, "the last album [2008's Circus] was more clean pop. [Its purpose] was to reintroduce Britney to the world as the pop princess."

As the first single also indicates, Spears, who Tweeted from her "Hold It Against Me" video shoot this weekend, has new tunes are definitely club-worthy.

"She's always ready," Kelley says. "Dr. Luke and Max Martin are running the show, and it's all about the beats. It has a heavier bass line and it's much harder, more urgent, more club. She's ready again!"

Can't wait!

Her reaction to going #1 in 20 countries and breaking countless records. Our girl is so humble.

OMG though. Max and Luke could possibly perfect the Blackout sound. And I'm still ******** my pants in anticipation for the new Bloodshy and Avant stuff. "Piece Of Me" on steroids....!!!

Don't make my fragile heart too excited, Claude.

Haha. I think B&A are the best she's ever worked with. They complete each other, and there's no doubt their work with Brit is also their best. I am really hoping they will have some part in this album, bigger than the one they've had with 'Circus'. They're brilliant.

Bloodshy & Avant and Britney are the perfect trio.

Their part on 'Circus' was relatively small, yet they made THREE of the Top 5 songs from that era - 'Phonography', 'Unusual You' and 'Trouble'.

That's exactly my point, they make such good music with her, that it's a shame only one track by them made it to the album. Imagine the things that they have done together and we didn't get to hear! Man.. the only song that tops their work on the album is the legendery 'womanizer', which is brilliant to me. 'Unusual You' makes me shiver, and let's NOT talk about what 'Phonography' makes me do
