Britney And Justin Come Together To Sing Duet

Following in the footsteps of Ozzy Osbourne and Lita Ford, Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks, and Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, the reigning First Couple of Pop has come together to do a superstar duet. (Click for photos of them at the Celebrity release party.)

An uptempo song by Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake was recorded last week, according to Rich Travali, who is mixing the track this week in New York.

"It's a slick pop thing, very aggressive," Travali said of the tune. "It sounds really hot."

Spears and Timberlake wrote the track with their choreographer, Wade Robson (see "Britney Writing Songs With Justin For New Album"), who also produced it, Travali said. Robson and Timberlake wrote 'NSYNC's current single, "Pop."

Travali, who has mixed albums by Nelly and the St. Lunatics, would not reveal the title of the song, which he said would likely surface on Spears' new LP, due November 6. Spears' label, Jive Records, did not return calls for comment.

Spears has collaborated with electronic music guru BT and R&B hitmaker Rodney Jerkins for the as-yet-untitled album.
