Britney Spears announces a new project titled ‘SEX N DIAMONDS,’ dropping soon

On January 30, Britney Spears announced she would be releasing a new project, titled SEX N DIAMONDS, later this year.

Given her last studio release was 2016's Glory, many suspect S*X N DIAMONDS could be Britney Spear's official return to music with a new album. A few weeks before this video was posted, Britney publicly declared a hiatus from music.

"I will never return to the music industry," she said.

The Instagram post from Spears has sparked significant interest in the singer's career, with many taking to X to highlight their surprise and confusion at hearing this news.

The ambiguity surrounding Spears' new project has sparked a slew of debates online, with many speculating the project to be a mere promotional post for a set of pictures rather than her highly anticipated tenth studio album. However, many appeared to be eagerly anticipating the latest chapter in Britney Spears career.

While Spears dropped her last album eight years ago, since the end of her conservatorship, the singer has been featured on two collaborations: Hold Me Closer with Elton John in 2022 and Mind Your Business with will.i.am in 2023.
