Britney Spears surprised her fans on Wednesday (03.08.16) by announcing her new album is called 'Glory'. The 34-year-old pop beauty's first record in three years will be released on August 26 through Apple Music and those who pre-order the LP will get an instant download of the single 'Private Show'. Alongside a picture of the album artwork - which is a close up of the blonde beauty in a white lace top and choker - she wrote: "My new album & the beginning of a new era. Available 8/26 on@applemusic. Pre-order tonight at midnight ET and get #PrivateShow instantly (sic)." Britney showed what to expect from the album with lead single 'Make Me' featuring superstar rapper G-Eazy on July 15. The mother of two - who has sons Jayden, nine, and Sean, 10, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline - recently revealed the new record will focus on what it's like being a hopeless romantic. She admitted: "Unfortunately, I am a hopeless romantic. "I've been through horrible relationships, but unfortunately I still believe in love and I think you should protect your heart and stuff like that, but I am a hopeless romantic. I believe in love."
