Beyonce season is well and truly upon us.

Having wrapped up her brief stint Los Angeles for Grammy week, the singer jetted back to New York today for the press premiere of her new HBO special ‘Life Is But A Dream’.

Set to air this Sunday at 9pm, the documentary provides an up-close-and-personal look at the life and times of the fiercely private megastar.

Working the press pit like she works the stage, King B was joined by personal videographer Ed Burke (pictured in hat below) and Oprah Winfrey. The latter was there to shoot an Oprah’s Next Chapter episode with the star – which also airs on Sunday at 8pm on OWN.

With all this positive press, we sure hope the all-important single is nigh. Sources say it’s all sorts of epic, yet we’re keen to judge for ourselves.
