Beyonce to focus on 'Dreamgirls' before album
Beyonce tells Billboard that her upcoming role in ?Dreamgirls? will be her sole focus for the next several months, and only after its completion will she begin working on her next solo album.
"I'm not going to write for the album until I finish doing the movie," Beyonce tells the magazine. "I've never been so excited about a movie in my life. I want to give 100% to this film, because I know I was born for this role."
Beyonce says she?s looking to hit the studio again in May, with an album release date targeted for September via Columbia. But that release schedule ultimately depends on the final day of production for ?Dreamgirls.?
Meanwhile, the other two Destiny?s Children are also busy working on solo projects. Kelly Rowland is working on her second solo album with producers Rich Harrison, Sean Garrett, Beyonce's sister Solange and fellow D-Child member Michelle Williams. Williams' next studio project will get underway this month, with an eye on a summer release.
