Britney Spears' not so hotly-anticipated comeback album has an 80s vibe.The 'Toxic' singer's fifth studio album - her first in four years - has been given the working title 'Piece of Me' and will be released on November 13.One critic said: "Like many of today's young dance-pop starlets, Britney sounds like she's looking back to the '80s as she moves forward to release her new album."In addition to the pulsating first single, 'Gimme More', other tracks we heard at an exclusive preview have a synth-heavy sound that nods to new wave."The defiant 'Piece of Me' the likely second single and possible album title, features Spears' heavily processed voice issuing the challenge, 'You want a piece of me?' to her foes."'Piece of Me' was produced by Bloodshy and Avant, the Swedish production team responsible for her last major hit 'Toxic'.Many of the tracks on the album are uptempo, including 'Break the Ice' which features "Britney's trademark breathy vocals" and was produced by Timbaland protegee Nate 'Danjahandz' Hills.Upbeat dance track 'Radar' - also produced by Bloodshy and Avant - has been described as "Rihanna-esque" and Britney's delivery of the song is said tobe "chirpy to a bouncy beat". Another track on the album sure to get people moving is 'Heaven on Earth' which has been called a "throbbing throwback to the era of Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love' ". Meanwhile, after selling the Malibu mansion she shared with ex-husband Kevin Federline last week, Britney has already bought a new Malibu home for herself and sons Jayden James - who turns one today, and Sean Preston, who will be two on Friday. The 25-year-old has spent $9 million on a gated 8,500 square foot French country estate with seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, pool,spa and expansive grounds.
