Much of this year has been shrouded by the expectations and anticipation of new Beyoncé music, and especially her fifth studio album.
Following her epic Super Bowl performance in early February, and a few unofficial single releases with “Grown Woman” for her Pepsi campaign, “Standing On The Sun” for her H&M campaign, and the buzz causing throwout “Bow Down/I Been On,” not to forget her song “Rise Up” from the soundtrack to the animated film ‘Epic,’ the release is hotly anticipated.
Bey has remained incredibly busy as she tours the world, promotes products and films, and still reportedly finds time to record for her next album.
Today, a new rumor has been swirling, according to the New York Daily News, that the Pop superstar is still intending to release an official single this year, and it is currently scheduled for an early December release…
“Many in the music industry have gotten intel that Beyoncé will put out a single in the fourth quarter, some time from late November to early December,” our insider says. “It’s an official single and it’s timed perfectly to push out all the others. It will be out before the end of the year.”
Our source adds that Ole Music Publishing in Nashville is working its magic and will hand the “massive” song over to Columbia Records — Bey’s label. Pepsi bankrolled the whole project.
Another source tells us that Beyoncé has gone to great lengths to hide what she’s been up to in the studio. That’s been very tough, given her status. She played the music only minimally while filming the song’s video, directed by celeb photographer Terry Richardson in Coney Island in August.
Insiders tell us the track and video will land on Dec. 3.
This would follow new releases from many of Pop music’s biggest female acts including Lady Gaga (‘Art Pop‘ Nov. 8), Katy Perry (‘Prism‘) and Britney Spears (‘Britney Jean‘Dec. 3), not to mention there are still rumors of Rihanna returning.
We can’t count this report as fact, but as many BeyHive members are hoping, Beyoncé is definitely coming soon…
