Britney will team with Moby

Celebrated DJ-producer Moby’s latest collaborator apparently will be Britney Spears, who also has tapped the production team the Matrix and embattled R&B; producer-signer-songwriter R. Kelly to work on tracks for her next album, due Nov. 18.

Spears tells Rolling Stone that the album will sound more “trance-y” and less song-structured than her previous work and that it will be less directly personal than her 2001 album, “Britney.”

“It’s not shockingly personal,” she says. “I did a little bit of that with my last record, and I really didn’t want to put myself out there that much.”
