Britney Spears may have finally made the big turn-around. Her new album is very personal, according to her, and as evidenced by it’s title, “Britney Jean”. Simply her first and middle name. What a difference a few years makes, right? In the wake of the upcoming release of her new album Britney posted a personal, handwritten letter to her fans on her website.

In it, she talks about her new release and thanks her fans for all their fan-ness.

“I am putting the finishing touches on my new album, “Britney Jean” over the next few days and I am so excited for you to hear it. I poured my heart and soul into this album and it’s been an incredible journey. I’ve learned a lot about myself, and as I am finishing, I am reminded of the incredible foundation that has supported me for the last 15 years. Thank you all for continuing to follow me on this journey and for allowing me to do what I love to do. I can’t believe this is my eighth studio album and I know I keep telling you that it is my most personal record yet, but its true and I’m really proud of that.”

In addition to outlining the expected greatness of the new songs on her new album, she appeals on the level of your best friend giving you a heart-felt gift. She really seems to affirm her transformation with a sincere desire to show herself as she is, on a very relatable note.

“I want to show you the different sides of Britney Spears. I am a performer. I am a Mom. I am funny. I am your friend! I am Britney Jean. Hope you love my labor of love!”

The note is very sweet, and a nice change of pace for her! However, it remains to be seen if this album can compare with the success of its predecessors. We will have to wait until December 3rd.
