Britney Spears is reportedly working on “an album of duets” following the success of her single Hold Me Closer with Sir Elton John.

It is believed the Toxic hitmaker, 41, is lining up collaborations with the likes of Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande and Sam Smith, who have all publicly said they’re fans of the pop superstar.

The Gimme More songstress hasn’t released an album since 2016 – but The Sun has reported that while she has no plans to promote new music, a duets album is an opportunity for her to “connect” with her fans.

A music insider told the outlet: “Britney will not go out and promote anything current, so a duets album is a good way of her avoiding having to do any promotion while still getting the tracks played around the world. “Britney loves nothing more than releasing music, so this is a way she can keep relevant while allowing her the time to work out how she wants to take her next steps. “Each day is being taken as it comes, and this is a very low-risk way of staying connected with her fans while also opening up some amazing collaborations. ”The Standard has contacted Britney Spears’ rep for comment.
