The first new song of the American singer Britney Spears in the last six years, a duet recorded with the legendary British artist Elton John, is called “Hold Me Closer” and was released on Friday, reports Agerpres.

The single was released less than a year after the end of a controversial legal guardianship imposed on the American singer, which was carried out mainly by her father, Jamie Spears.

“Okay doki…my first song in six years!” – the pop star wrote on her Twitter.

“It’s super cool to sing alongside one of the most classic singers of our time,” she added.

The cover of the new single features childhood photos of the two pop music legends, who together have more than 90 years of experience in the music industry.

Combining his classic “Tiny Dancer” with elements taken from “The One” with the help of a much younger artist, Elton John thus continues the foray into his musical past that he successfully began last year when he released the duet “Cold Heart.” “, recorded with singer Dua Lipa.

Britney Spears’ last album was called “Glory” and was released in 2016.

Since then, the American singer appeared in the international press rather in the context of her legal proceedings, during which she asked to be released from the legal guardianship imposed in 2008 due to psychological disorders. Britney Spears accused the lawsuit of “abuse” of the measure, which, in her opinion, did not allow her to abandon the use of the contraceptive coil, despite her desire to have more children.
