Release date:

Only a fool would try and second guess Beyoncé's release schedule after the stealthy rollout of her last album, but whispers on the web are currently leading us to the beginning of February.

The 34-year-old supposedly had the album all wrapped up and completed by the end of 2015, so it's sitting in Mrs Carter's vault ready to be unveiled. Beyoncé is confirmed to be performing with Coldplay at the Super Bowl Half Time show on February 7, and then the Grammys are a week later on February 15. That's some seriously good exposure for a new record.

Collabs:

Let's start with the most intriguing one of all: Cara Delevingne. Yep, the British model was in the studio with Bey last Spring. There have been loads of reports that Cara is keen to step into music, and what better way than with the guidance of Queen Bey herself? This might sound like one of those silly rumours that pops up on the pages of tabloids, but both Cara and Beyoncé posted a picture of their hand over the same mixing desk, in the same studio, on the same evening.

Another British star Beyoncé has been hanging around with a bit over the past 12 months is Ed Sheeran. They teamed up for a Stevie Wonder tribute last February, and more recently joined forces for the Global Citizen Festival in New York this past September. With Ed knocking the hits out of the park with 'Thinking Out Loud' and his Justin Bieber co-write 'Love Yourself', surely Bey wouldn't miss the opportunity to get her own slice of the red-head's guitar-wielding talents?

Last summer, American rapper Future (who's worked with the likes of Rihanna, Kanye West, and Bey's Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland), casually mentioned that he was at Jay Z's place, but was "actually working with Bey". Moreover, Mike Will Made-It (Miley Cyrus, Ciara) also told reporters that he's "got a lot of records on the way with Wiz, Future, Beyoncé…"

After releasing his catchy hit 'Cha Cha' at the start of 2015, D.R.A.M. gained himself a fan in Beyoncé. So much so that she hit the studio with him last July. Here's a picture of them both to prove it.

Finally, we can't ignore Beyoncé's recent collaboration with Naughty Boy. Although 'Runnin' (Lose It All)' is the lead single from the British producer's upcoming second album, it would be silly to rule out the possibility that they've worked on more new music together. As we've already heard, a Naughty Bey ballad is quite a powerful combination.

And music videos:

Firstly, last August it was reported that Chris Shellis, who owns The House of Borgezie in the UK, sold Beyoncé some brand new shoes. So what? Queen Bey likes her fancy heels… but he went on to add that he was told they were going to be worn in her brand new music video.

Then, just before Christmas, Beyoncé's fans The Beyhive started buzzing with excitement after she was allegedly spotted shooting a new video in New Orleans. The Super Dome was one location where she was reportedly filming, but in hindsight, could this have been something for her upcoming Super Bowl performance? It's exciting nonetheless.

I think Drunk in Love is the only one from the album that can be classed as a hit.

I hope we get some Bey hits topping the charts in the summer

[Dominic]

She's had three summer releases and two late year releases. So I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out early this year as suggested in the article!
