Britney Spears: No New Music 'Till 2008

Everybody’s been dying to hear what Britney Spears has been cooking up in the music studio but her rep, Leslie Sloan Zelnick, told Life & Style yesterday that Britney‘s album won’t drop until 2008.

“I put her on hiatus,” Zelnik says. “Brit’s album is pushed until ’08. If she has no album, there’s no reason to do anything. I’m representing her in theory right now. I said that since the album is pushed back until ’08, let’s go on hiatus until we have a campaign to do.”

One music-industry insider attributes the delay to Britney‘s creative struggles. “I’m surprised the album wasn’t pushed back to ’09 – everything’s up in the air with the album right now,” the insider says. “Jive [Records, Brit's label] hated the songs Britney was coming up with, except for a few. The executives are not happy. And she didn’t want to listen to anyone. Everything was a problem for her. They wanted her to work with certain people, and she wanted the opposite.”

Come on Brit Brit, step it up!
