A source says the album draws emotional depth from her experiences and revisits creative energy reminiscent of Confessions on a Dance Floor. It also marks her longest gap between albums. Reports suggest Madonna may reunite with Britney Spears on the record, reviving their collaboration after Me Against the Music. Spears is reportedly open to working with Madonna again despite personal challenges. (IANS)
