Britney Spears Releases “Circus” Tuesday

UNDATED (AP) - Britney Spears marks her 27th birthday Tuesday with a new album, “Circus.“

She co-writes two tracks, including one called “My Baby.“ It’s a song dedicated to one of her sons, although she doesn’t say which one. She takes a dig at the paparazzi with the song “Kill The Lights.“

For those who thought her last album, “Blackout,“ was too full of studio manipulation and producer tricks, Spears doesn’t use as much of that this time around, although it’s still there to some degree.
