Beyonce Responds To LP Rumors + TGJ Exclusive Info

Following the recent rumours surrounding the release of Beyonce highly anticipated new album, the singer herself has issued a statement setting the record straight:

I wanted to address my fans about my upcoming album.

I have worked on this album for close to one year. I have taken the time so I can create my sound. Something that says who I am at this stage in my life. I have poured my heart and soul into it. It is my baby. It is the most time I have spent on any project since my first records as a member of Destiny’s Child when I was 15 years old.

I have recorded over 70 songs and have created a sound that reveals all of me. I am in a different place right now and I wanted people to see the many sides of me. The music is upbeat for the dance, fun side and it is reflective, passionate and serious for the personal side. I have taken risks here. I am not afraid and my music will explain it all. There is no label or tag on my sound. It’s me and I am so excited to share it with the world on November 18.

Love,
Beyoncé

Good to see her clear things up.

According to a very reliable source to That Grape Juice, the album has in fact been mastered and submitted to the label for packaging. Having already shot the promotional pics for the record, the only remaining thing Ms. Knowles is to do is pick the pack-shot/cover. What’s more, she isn’t fighting with dad Mathew or his right hand-man Max Gouse, as suggested in the NY Daily News story.
