(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Britney Spears has been lauded for her work ethic and professionalism by Swedish producer Shellback.

The hit maker is currently working on Britneys new album, which is yet to get a firm release date. With the LP being the first from Britney since 2008s Circus, all concerned are hoping for a triumphant return for the former pop princess.

Britney has previously spoken of her joy about the tracks shes recorded, with Shellback congratulating the star on her dedication to the album. He believes they have managed to create a different sound due to Britneys competence.

"[Britney]'s actually damn professional. You read a lot on the Internet that Britney is not singing and mimes, but she is actually damn professional. She's done it since she was 16. And just rhythmic way, she is f**king awesome! And you do not have to go through and talk about the rhythms and stuff that you sometimes have to do. She's very easy in the studio," he told a local radio station. (C) Cover Media
