A representative from Beyonce's camp has revealed that she is still working on her next album, despite rumours that the LP is due for release in November.
In recent months, collaborators Diplo and Ne-Yo have spoken about Bey's ongoing work on the record, as the wait for album No.5 grows ever longer. Last month, the 'Single Ladies' singer allegedly told a group of Norweigan fans that the album would be due in November.
Now, in an attempt to put release rumours to rest, MTV contacted the Destiny's Child star's representatives who simply responded: "She continues to work on her album."
Earlier this year, Diplo told The Sun newspaper that he believed that Beyonce had abandoned a great deal of new material in order to restart it.
"I just did two songs for her new album," he said. "Well, I tried, I think she scrapped the record."
He continued: "The record was supposed to be done and they have been hitting me up for brand new ideas. I like to work from scratch, (but) sometimes I get called in to fix records".
Diplo also revealed he's working on some songs for Katy Perry's new album, though he's not sure if that will ever see the light of day to be honest.
Earlier in the year it emerged that Ne-Yo had been working with both Beyonce on new material but that she was still 'figuring things out'
“I’m still putting stuff together for Beyonce’s album,” he told Rolling Stone.
“They’re still trying to figure out what they want that to be, which I’m not mad at. Beyonce’s the kind of artist where you’re not gonna see it til it’s right. And her fans - they love her so they’ll be patient.”
Recent reports suggested that Beyonce had scrapped her entire fifth album
Work began on the new Beyonce album with writing session in the Hamptons last summer. Justin Timberlake, The-Dream, and Sia are all among the collaborators working on the record.
So far neither a title nor release date have surfaced, but a few cuts of new music have appeared in the form of ‘Bow Down/I Been On’, ‘Grown Woman’ and ‘Standing On The Sun’.
Her Mrs Carter world tour continues until December. For more information visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
