For starters, Britney has been perfecting this album for almost two years making the finished project that much more special.

"It's very excited," the megastar previously told E! News' Marc Malkin. "I've been working on this project for a year and a half now, almost two years so it really means a lot to me. It's my baby."

"It's a little melodic, a little more not so poppy," Brit continued when teasing her ninth studio album. "It's kind of chill. Very chill."

The perfect example may just be her latest single with G-Eazy that is already being played across the country on Top 40 radio stations. A video for the track titled "Make Me" has already been shot and is directed by David LaChapelle.

And guess what? It may only be the beginning of a string of hit singles coming soon. "Britney's really working on a fantastic record. I've heard about four or five songs that I think are just going to be big hits for her," RCA Records Executive Vice President/GM Joe Riccitelli said in May. "She's found a really great groove, and she's working with some new, young producers."

While there hasn't been much talk of a tour, fans can still head to Las Vegas to see her "Britney: Piece of Me" residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

Furthermore, the "Womanizer" singer will perform her new music at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas September 24.  Basically, Britney is ready to give us, give us more in the weeks and months to come.
