The man behind Britney’s smash hit “Circus” talks about her new album, and what we can expect from the reigning queen of pop!

The mega-successful producer, Dr. Luke, has a list of hits that read like a who’s who of great pop songs: Kelly Clarkson’s “Since You Been Gone,” Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl,” and Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA”…just to name a few. And now Dr. Luke, 37, is back working with Britney on her new album!

Billboard.com sat down with Dr. Luke, who co-wrote and co-produced “Circus,” and after calling Ms. Spears an “icon,” he revealed some details about what type of sound to expect from her.

“I want to get harder in some ways,” he says. “And maybe a little more deep into electronic. Grimier.” And while Dr. Luke admitted they are still “early in the process,” he does have ideas for 28-year-old Britney’s next project.
