Britney Spears working on new album

Britney Spears is "slowly" working on her next album, and is in no rush to complete the record.

The Toxic hitmaker last released a studio album in 2013 with Britney Jean, and fans are eager for her to come out with new music.

In a new interview with Billboard.com, the mother-of-two, who is keeping busy with her Las Vegas residency, reveals she is "gonna do a new album slowly but surely", but is taking her time to create the perfect record.

She says, "There's a lot going on with my kids and schools and, you know, adding new sports and stuff like that. I'm gonna try to do my best to do an amazing album, but it's not my full priority right now."

Spears' longtime manager, Larry Rudolph, adds, "Right now we're just concentrating on putting out a few great singles as they come... Albums just aren't as important in the digital age as they used to be. Britney will get to one eventually, but not right now."

Spears also revealed to Billboard that she is in talks with bosses at Planet Hollywood to extend her residency through until 2017. Her Piece of Me show is currently slated to end later this year (15).
