Madonna is reportedly hard at work with Ray Of Light producer William Orbit.

The Material Girl is 'beavering away' in the studio according to the UK's Daily Mirror newspaper.

She's re-teamed with William Orbit, who worked on 1998's Ray Of Light and 2000's Music albums.

She is also rumoured to be working with DJs, including one half of Duck Sauce A-Trak and super-producer David Guetta, as well as Jim Steinman, famous for his efforts with Meat Loaf.

Her new album will be the first for her LiveNation 360 deal, after departing Warners following 2008's Hard Candy.

She is also reportedly planning a monster world tour in tandem with the release of the new album next year.
