The album, which features collaborations with Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Danja, Bloodshy & Avant and Guy Sigsworth, is to drop Dec. 2, Spears's 27th birthday.

Although the singer's career has been overshadowed for some time by her personal troubles and legal battles, she seems poised for a comeback after winning three MTV Video Music Awards last week.
