Beyonce

R&B singer Beyonce Knowles is currently in the studio working on her untitled third studio album. As reported by Scratch magazine, producer Timbaland signed on to produce the majority of the album. Knowles also reportedly hired the English dance/house/electronica production duo Freemasons to work on several songs for the record. Knowles' team approached James Wiltshire and his musical partner Russell Small after they heard the pair's official remixes of Knowles' hit singles "Déjà Vu" and "Beautiful Liar." In an interview with producer Rodney Jerkins, he said that the style of the album keeps switching and is inspired by Knowles' upcoming film, Cadillac Records. A new song titled Beautiful Nightmare was leaked online this week; on her official website she states: “Yesterday, "Beautiful Nightmare," a demo I've been working on for possible inclusion on my next album, leaked on some websites. I want to thank all my fans for the positive response to the song, but I want to tell you that this is just a work in progress. It is not my time to put out new music. If you really want to hear some really great music now, you have to support my girls Kelly, Michelle and my sister Solange. Kelly just re-released her album digitally in the US, so check out "Ms. Kelly: Diva Deluxe." Michelle is about to put out the first single, "We Break The Dawn," from her album and Solange's single, "I Decided," is already one of my favorites.”
