details on beyonce’s new album slated for 2013!

While everyone is making their year-end charts, we are super excited for some music coming our way in 2013! One of the albums we are waiting for is Beyonce’s fifth album, not because we absolutely devour everything she does, but because its predecessor, 4, is just amazeballs! So, here is some information we gathered (and educatedly guessed) on what we can expect from the new album.

• Ryan Tedder is working on it. He said there are “two projects happening.” Could it be another I Am… Sasha Fierce? 
• Some producers who are allegedly on the album are The-Dream, Kanye West, Hit-Boy, Diane Warren, Miguel, Swizz Beatz, Missy Elliott, Jo’zzy and Ne-Yo.
• Her husband, Jay-Z, is allegedly slated for a little vocal cameo on the album
• It’s not called 5 or V.
• The first single will be out before the Super Bowl XLVII.
• The documentary on HBO will allegedly have snippets of the album.
• Knowles will also star as Queen Tara in the upcoming 3D CGI animated film Epic, to be released by 20th Century Fox on May 24, 2013. There allegedly might be a song on that soundtrack.
• There are rumors circulating that Beyonce had allegedly teamed up with Mariah Carey on a track titled “Further Up”for the new project. No word as to the validity of this story and/or it will be featured on which of the divas album. Mariah Carey has a project coming out around the same time in early Spring to coincide with all the American Idol hoopla.
• There will be an extensive tour following the album, allegedly, as she couldn’t really tour for 4 because she wanted to keep it low during her pregnancy.
• Allegedly, there will be a surprise during her Superbowl performance.
• Her first single will probably be way better than Madonna’s “Give Me All Your Lovin’”
• The big $50 Million Pepsi endorsement will be probably be everywhere throughout the promotion campaign for this new album.
•  Perez Hilton reported that Justin Timberlake was spotted leaving a NYC recording studio with the couple. (The last time Timberlake and Beyoncé worked together was in 2007, on his track “Until the End of Time.”)
• Could it be a duets album?
• Could it be called Blue?
• The $50 million deal will include typical channels of advertising like commercials and print ads. In addition, Pepsi has also pledged a multimillion-dollar “creative content development fund” to support Beyonce’s artistic endeavors. We wonder what that entails?
