Yes, The New Beyoncé Album is Real
LatestThis week, Twitter tried to spoil the Beyhive’s early holiday gift by posting an alleged tracklist for Beyoncé Platinum, featuring everything we loved from last year’s surprise self-titled album, plus another disc of brand-new songs. (Including a very intriguing “Cherry” f. Rihanna: could it be that rumored “Blow” remix?!)
Whether it was a real leak or not (although it looked mighty official), its mere insinuation put the Beygency into overdrive. This morning (at 6:18 AM EST, exactly), Columbia Records and Bey’s company Parkwood Entertainment delivered a press release verifying that yes, there will be a new Beyoncé release before the end of the year: a four-disc limited edition box set, featuring 2013’s Beyoncé, two DVDs (including several live performances from the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour and all the videos from Beyoncé), the official 2015 Beyoncé calendar so you always know what time it is, AND! Two new songs and four “unreleased” remixes: “Flawless (f. Nicki Minaj),” “Drunk in Love (f. JAY Z & Kanye West),” “Ring Off” (a “divorce” jam, perhaps?), “Blow (f. Pharrell Williams),” “Standing on the Sun (f. Mr. Vegas),” and “7/11,” which is hopefully about Slurpees.
