Following news that she is set to make a spectacular live show return in Las Vegas, Britney Spears has been getting back in the studio to work on an amazing comeback record, according to her producer.
Music mogul J.R. Rotem has lured the pop wreck back into recording another hit record, accompanied by hitmaker Sean Garrett.
And he insists Spears is back at her best after a crazy 2007 ended with hospitalisations for a bipolar disorder, custody battles and career issues.
He says: "She's great. She's like a master at what she does. She's a lot more experienced than most people. She just has the 'it' factor that not every artist has.
"It's always nice to work with her."
Rotem briefly dated Spears last year and hit the headlines when he suggested the pop star might be pregnant in a stray text message.
A source close to Spears confirms the singer is working on the "experimental stages" of a new album, the follow-up to Blackout, which was released in October.
And Garrett tells People: "I'm just happy to see her back and recovering. She's really shaping up and getting her whole situation back together. I'm really proud and happy to see her."
