As fan fiction goes, it appears it’s a case of the bigger the star, the more elaborate the story.

The mega-seller found herself at the centre of a fake-tracklist storm last week, after well-executed line-sheet – supposedly featuring new songs from the re-release of her self-titled album – begun doing the rounds.

Featuring collaborations with the likes of Rihanna and Justin Timberlake, the image gained ample traction and was covered by a multitude of outlets – including many of the major variety.

We, however, held out for official confirmation, which materlized just a few days later and featured none of the alleged new numbers. Instead, two fresh cuts – ‘7/11’ and ‘Ring Off’ – were confirmed along with remixes featuring the likes of Kanye West and Pharrell Williams.

With the dust from the confusion settling, a rep from Bey’s team spoke with Billboard about the episode, as well as plans for the singer’s future releases.

Along with the cover and tracklisting, which you can check out above and below, the rapper confirmed the unique roll-out by way of Spotify which have the LP  available to stream now.

The project’s arrival comes after a series of delays dating back to 2012 when its lead single ‘212’ descended and dominated.
