Beyoncé - 4

Beyoncé chimes with Sleigh Bells on new track
R&B star collaborating on new material with indie noise-pop duo, according to producer Diplo

Will Beyoncé's next album feature slamming bass and electro riffs? For her follow-up to I Am ... Sasha Fierce, the R&B singer has reportedly completed a session with Sleigh Bells, whose 2010 debut was one of the year's loudest, messiest and most acclaimed indie albums.

Sleigh Bells first mentioned the collaboration on Twitter, in a bewildering post that has since been deleted: "yeah damn beyonce on it was intense track may not get finished (?) but we finished the rum off at least #idroppedsomethingg." Which sounds like the just sort of thing you'd say after collaborating with one of the biggest pop stars in the world. Yesterday, producer Diplo chimed in, saying he has been working with Beyoncé in New York with London's DJ Switch and Sleigh Bells' Derek Miller. "Me and Switch was in [the] studio in NYC tryin' to make tracks with Derek and Beyoncé last week after we played [Beyoncé's] team [the Sleigh Bells] album," he wrote on his blog. "Dunno if we gonna manage to finish, but [it] was good times."

Although Diplo, Switch and Sleigh Bells have collaborated before, they are more closely associated with MIA. All three artists produced songs on her last album, and Sleigh Bells are signed to a label owned by the Paper Planes singer. It seems MIA won't mind if Beyoncé borrows some of her tricks; in 2007, she described the Crazy in Love singer as "super". "[She's] harder, faster, stronger," MIA said. "In our lifetime, Beyoncé will be a classic, like how people talk about Aretha Franklin."

Beyoncé's husband, Jay-Z, has also spoken of his new love of indie rock, saying it is more rebellious than hip-hop.. In 2009, Beyoncé indicated she would like to work with "different types of artists" on her next album, including psych-pop band Of Montreal.

Beyoncé's last LP, the 2008 double-set I Am ... Sasha Fierce, has sold more than 6m albums worldwide.

it's going to be her RHYTHM NATION :guitar:

I joke.

I always thought that Beyonce liked the idea of pushing the envelope and making every album unique and forward-thinking, as opposed to the Mary Js and Alicias who you would expect to consider her peers. But in perspective, she's hardly M.I.A. It'll still be a pop record.

I'll still end by saying that I could not be more excited if I tried *gay*

POP! · Jan 28, 2011

I am quite excited about this and imagine I'll only get more interested as more details leak. The IASF era was really the perfect campaign, iconic singles, great concept, and it really made her worth the hype at that point, if that makes sense. Not to mention the music gets better with each album...

Alex · Jan 28, 2011

Let's hope it's more "Sweet Dreams" and less "Single Ladies" IE a TUNE.

Pipo · Jan 28, 2011

Let's hope it's more "Work It Out"/"Diva" and less "Broken Hearted Girl"/"Irreplaceable" IE. fuck off horns, screaming vocals and lots of pussy poppin' BEATS

It's just an irritating din to me.

'Single Ladies' is nothing without the video.

funky · Jan 29, 2011

where's that thread where someone posted "Single Ladies" and "If I Were A Boy" and everyone was like UGH AS IF SHE'S GOING TO DO SUCCEED WITH THAT / HER CAREER IS OVER / THIS IS SO SHIT etc

it was the biggest moopy U-turn of all time this side of Adele

Loufoque · Jan 29, 2011

Let's face it

This is going to be the album to end ALL ALBUMS

It may even be BETTER THAN BDAY!

"Single Ladies" is a GREAT example of a grower though. I thought it was the worst thing EVER MADE when I first heard it. I love it now.

Beyoncé Knowles will release her fourth solo album in late June this year.

The singer unveiled six tracks from her latest studio album to label bosses in New York last week, and is believed to have received a rapturous response.

"It was just amazing," Sony Music Australia boss Denis Handlin told The Daily Telegraph. "These songs, the best description I can give is groundbreaking.

"She's gone to another level," Handlin added.

Last week it was announced that Knowles had ended her professional relationship with her father, Mathew Knowles, who has managed the singer's career for 14 years.

The currently untitled album will be released in time for Beyoncé's headlining slot at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

Jonfessions · Apr 3, 2011

Groundbreaking? Her label boss is unlikely to say "more of the same to be honest, if you liked Beyoncé before you probably still will" but COME ON

I'm still excited though

Loufoque · Apr 3, 2011

Maybe she did a song about the Japan earthquake

Loufoque · Apr 3, 2011

Anyway, breaking new ground aside, I am about to shit over this news

BRING IT ON HOME BEE

funky · Apr 4, 2011

thanks for the bowel movement update Lou

anyway, this is one overhype I can get on board with. Let's keep the non-news coming between now and June. EX-CITE.

ameraal · Apr 4, 2011

june? not much longer then... and we should be getting the lead single any time now

i might do this pose in celebration

Pipo · Apr 4, 2011

I love that Beyoncé is one of those rare cases where BUZZ SINGLE is not in her dictionary

Loufoque · Apr 4, 2011

When every lead single is a #1 SMASH you don't really NEED a buzz single!

Loufoque · Apr 5, 2011

I seriously need to hear more about this album. What's the concept? When are we going to hear the lead single?

Mats · Apr 5, 2011

rumours are the lead single is being released in a couple of weeks

She also revealed that the album was inspired by several musicians, including Fela Kuti, The Stylistics, Lauryn Hill, Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson.[108] Producers and songwriters working with Knowles on the album, include Jim Jonsin,[109] Ne-Yo[110] Sean Garrett[111] The Dream, Symbolyc One,[112] Diplo, Switch, Derek Miller[113] and Frank Ocean.[114]

Loufoque · Apr 5, 2011

Watch out BTW!

ameraal · Apr 5, 2011

i can't say anything about this sounds remotely exciting apart from it being beyonce
guess it's still early days for the proper teasers

Pipo · Apr 5, 2011

I downloaded a promo cd last week and in fact it included Sleigh Bells' single "Rill Rill" and it is something I can imagine Beyoncé doing if she wanted to get involved in a whole different genre Speed it up and it sounds like Videophone/Diva

She looks like JESSIE J though.

Loufoque · Apr 5, 2011

Whatever it is, it will have a big pop chorus and most importantly a FUCK OFF BUDGET behind it, so I wouldn't WORRY

Video news

Beyoncé has reportedly hired 200 African dancers for her new music video.

The 'Single Ladies' star is said to have brought the dancers to Los Angeles for the shoot.

A source close to the singer has said that the dancers are to teach Beyoncé some native dance moves, which will then be incorporated into the video's routine, reports ONTD.

Mats · Apr 9, 2011

I can't wait to hear what she did with Frank Ocean

Mats · Apr 11, 2011

some info

It was definitely a cattle call. Everybody and their mama was there. Anyone who heard about it could have really showed up. Typical Frank Gatson foolishess if you're familiar with his cattle call auditions for some of Bey's past projects giving people false hope knowing he won't really hire them. Trying to get the word out there that a new Bey project is about to drop. Dancers, models, waitresses, porn stars (Jeremy Copeland), etc. Example? The guy with the light eyes, Justin Walker, from BET's Baldwin Hills was there. Everyone there is not going to be in the video, so a lot of people there were probably salty. On top of that, when everyone left, they were told they'd be contacted directly if Frank wants to proceed with them for the shoot. Oop! . So, basically, that means anyone without an agent will probably not be doing the video. That's just the way these kind of situations work. So, with that out of the way, let's get to the good stuff.

My friend got there and there were like 200 or more people in the room. A lot of Bey's old dancers and probably every major dancer and choreographer you could think of. The song is called "Girl". The video is being directed by Francis Lawrence. He was also there. 8 or 9 choreographers contributed to the routine. Danielle Polanco and Luam were 2 of those choreographers. Beyonce was there of course going over the routine and they were figuring out which pieces of the choreography they would be showcasing in the music video. The theme of "Girl" is like a female empowerment/girl power type of song that is a definite club banger with Top 40/Worldly appeal. The beat is driven by a sample of a popular club song that a lot of you will probably recognize. There's a breakdown in the song that is described as absolutely fucking disgustingly sick! Definitely an anthem in the style of her singing. My friend couldn't remember exact lyrics, but "Girl...girl....girl" is repeated a lot through out the song.

More on the choreography. No males will be dancing except these 2 African men that do this sick solo African intro with footwork at the top of the routine. There may be more, but at the meeting today only those 2 men were dancing. One of the choreographers was an African guy from an African dance company. Bey will have an army of like 100 or more girls. 20 of them will be doing the choreography with her and there will be like 100 of them behind her carrying sticks and marching. Men will be used as props and actors with the girls coming all in their faces and intimidating them. Again, the concept wasn't revealed so that's just connecting the dots with the choreography and small information that was given. It definitely looks like Bey will have an army or lesion of girls for one of the scenes that is presumably being shot on the 13th. Expect a full out dance number with lots of choreography.

Hopefully, my friend gets booked for the video. Everyone will be finding everything out in the next day or two.

the song is weird as hell. Probably the most jarring thing she's done since "Ring The Alarm" in my opinion.

She's definitely taking a risk here. It's a weird dark/tribal/club/urban song. The vocals range from "Telephone" verse vocals, "Diva" verse vocals with a lot of weird vocal effects you can hear throughout the song with the producers playing with the pitch.

It's a club banger x 1000000. Not no corny lada gaga/rihanna **** either. No shade. It's more tribal/urban tinged.

"Girl! WHO RUN THE WOLRD? Girl! We run this MOTHA! GIRL! WHO RUN THIS MOTHA? GIRL!" is the hook/chant.

And there's a weird/goofy little b-section that loops in the song too. She's harmonizing with herself.

There's a part where she is completely rapping/flowing too. I know that sounds crazy, but the song is crazy!

The intro is like some dark Sleigh Bells/Dubstep **** that has some really weird chant before the drums kick in and Bey starts the hook. Definitely an anthem!

It sounds like yet another quite DIVISIVE first single

(which everyone will come round to again in the end)

I'll be GENUINELY angry with her if the first single is something as TEDIOUS and DREADFUL as Waka Waka.

Jark · Apr 11, 2011

Sounds like total shit from that description

But then "absolutely fucking disgustingly sick" never was likely to inspire much ANTICIPATION
