Britney Spears' New Sound: Mind-Bendy & Trippy!

Britney Spears does some shopping at Oaks Mall on Friday afternoon (October 8) in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

The 28-year-old pop princess will have a new sound on her upcoming album. Super producer Max Martin is considering a song he produced with Dan Black.

“It’s mind-bendy and trippy,” One Republic frontman and hitmaker Ryan Tedder tells E!.”I applaud the label for saying, ‘We’re not going to do what’s always been done.’ I think Britney‘s such an innovator. She needs to be in the forefront, you know what I mean? You can’t come out with something sounding like someone else.”

Can’t wait to hear the new sound!!
