Britney Spears’ new album is called ‘Glory.’ Will it deliver what it promises?

Britney Spears is back. Again.

Three years after she failed to reignite her recording career with the little-heard (but weirdly interesting!) “Britney Jean,” the pop star announced this week that she’ll release a new album, “Glory,” on Aug. 26.

The record, Spears’ ninth studio disc since debuting in 1999 with the blockbuster “...Baby One More Time,” will include “Make Me…,” a recent collaboration with rapper G-Eazy, as well as “Private Show,” a slinky, strip club-inspired ditty that appeared online Thursday.

On Twitter, Spears called the album “the beginning of a new era” and said it contained “17 Glorious tracks.”

“August 26th can’t come soon enough!!” she wrote in a reply to one fan’s tweet. “So excited for you to hear it!”

Though “Britney Jean” was hardly a return to Spears’ chart-topping days — the single “Work Bitch” peaked at No. 12 on Billboard’s Hot 100 — the singer has held down a successful residency since 2013 at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.

And she still knows how to attract attention in the Internet age: By midday Thursday, Spears’ album announcement had been retweeted more than 18,000 times, while a performance on May’s Billboard Music Awards has nearly 8 million views.

With ’90s-mania running rampant in pop culture and politics, perhaps the time is right for a true Spears comeback?
