"Britney Spears is spending her summer in the recording studio," the statement says.
"She's working with a team of top-notch producers and song writers. And we're very excited about what she's achieved so far."
No release date for her sixth studio album has been set, and none of her collaborators is named in the statement.
But producers JR Rotem, Sean Garrett, Guy Sigsworth, Nate "Danja" Hills, Bloodshy & Avantand Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins have independently revealed that they are contributing to the project.
"Stuff we did so far is really dance-y, really up-tempo," Jerkins said last month.
"Real aggressive and catchy. Very, very, very hook-friendly."
With the intention of resurrecting her career, the multiplatinum-selling mother of two released Blackout last year, which opened at No 2 on the US charts and was ranked among Rolling Stone magazine's Top 50 albums of 2007.
Recorded during the time Spears (26) was pregnant with her second son, Jaden James, and separating from Kevin Federline, the CD featured collaborations with producer-performers including Pharrell Williams and T-Pain.
But Blackout's commercial reception was ultimately overshadowed by Spears' erratic behaviour, which included shaving her head in a Los Angeles beauty salon, attacking a paparazzo's car with an umbrella, checking into and out of rehab, blowing off custody hearings and turning in a disastrous performance of the album's lead single, Gimme More, at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. - Chris Lee
