Is Britney's label pushing her too hard?

Britney Spears’ label recently announced that Spears will release her
sixth studio album, “Circus” on Dec. 2.
While some might consider the new work a marker of Spears’ improving
health, some close to Spears fear that now that the worst seems to be
over, she’s going to be treated as little more than a cash cow.
“Britney has been going to the studio ever since she got out of the
hospital, but it was more a therapeutic exercise than anything," says
a source close to the Spears family. “The people who really care about
her knew that even though she wants to be the pop star she used to be,
it won’t be good for her. Even her label, Jive, understood that. It’s
a little unsettling to us that they’d want her to get back to
recording so fast.”
There’s also the question of how the album can be put together so
quickly. One source close to Jive says that the swift turnaround won’t
be an issue.
“She’s not Paul Simon. As long as it's produced well and has a good
beat, she’ll have a hit,” says the source. “Really, the quicker we do
it, the better it will be. You shouldn’t overthink some things.”
