Okay so I have some news on album #7.
Date: I've heard a tentative date for November, yes that means this year. But in the Britney camp, that is always subject to change.
Production/Sound: Okay, the best **** I've got. The following are the producers I can confirm are working/have worked with Britney for the project. In no particular order:
Danja
Bloodshy & Avant
Darkchild
Rusko
The Outsyders
Max Martin
Now, Rusko she has not hit the studio with him yet from the last time I got word, but he has two songs done for her, and they're pop, and don't stray too too far from her most recent work.
The Darkchild tracks don't sound like Darkchild's more recent work, think a harder sound, like Overprotected and some of the Oops material, but a 2010 version that isn't dated sounding. And apparently she will be working again with Max Martin at some point to either polish up work or record more. And let's just say that Danja was holding out on Blackout and Circus. Be excited. 
And I need to clarify a rumor regarding Rolling Stone magazine. There was a tentative plan to feature Britney and several other women later this year for one issue. That idea was scrapped by the magazine given circumstances and availability, and yes,
there are talks of Britney being on the cover/doing a story for later this year.
In regards to Cosmo, that cover/story is up in the air. The cover is coming along, and in regards to the people who claim they've seen the final Cosmo cover, they're wrong, and I stand by that.
Candies promo will kick in next month into August.

The song being older only makes it worse. 
No surprise though, considering you're now a Bieber stan.
