Songwriter/Producer Claude Kelly talks Britney

Claude Kelly, the famed songwriter and vocal producer is currently cooking up new stuff with Britney Spears, but he had time to chat with Us Magazine :

US: You worked with Britney Spears on “Circus”. How was that?
CK: Britney Spears was one of my first experiences with how intense the paparazzi are.
US: Oh yeah. Were they hounding outside?
CK: Literally waiting out there hours before she got there. Because the studio’s kind of a secret place where an artist comes to open up their heart and record songs, you don’t want them to feel insecure. It was intense, but when she got in there, all that went away. We did “Circus” and another song called “Shattered Glass”. She is a true professional: she comes in, knows the song beforehand, and just nails it.
