Posted November 2, 200717 yr Beyonce Knowles is turning her back on R'n'B to release a dance album. The 26-year-old singer has asked dance act The Freemasons to work on a new song for her next LP after her last offering 'B-Day' failed to sell as well as hoped. James Wiltshire, one half of the duo, said: "The album is going to be huge. "It will rival anything the likes of Britney and Rihanna have done recently. Beyoncé and her team can see where mistakes were made on her last album. "That was very American, very r'n'b and stripped back. This time they want to go for a more international sound and hit as many audiences as possible. "Normally big stars don't take any notice of smaller acts like ours, so her decision to work with us shows just where she is going with this album." Beyoncé's team approached James and his musical partner Russell Small after they heard the pair's official remixes of the star's hit songs 'Déjà Vu' and 'Beautiful Liar'. James told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Her management have been in almost daily contact with us ever since. "It is exciting getting to work on a new tune for her, as we get to be really creative." James, 32, revealed the pair even pushed back other top projects to work with the Bootylicious beauty. He said: "We were asked to do the remix of Britney's 'Gimme More' and to work on Donna Summer's new album. "But we put them both on hold to work with Beyoncé." Source What do you think? Good choice or bad move?
November 2, 200717 yr REALLY GOOD MOVE :D:D LOL I reckon she needs something new and a fresh sound and I cannot wait to hear what she comes up with. Sound like its gonna be good
November 2, 200717 yr FANTASTIC MOVE. Freemasons saved her last album probably without meaning to. This will hopefully be amazing :wub:
November 2, 200717 yr It's SUCH a good idea, and she's obviously got a good business head. 'Beautiful Liar' and 'Green Light' would've been nowhere as big if it weren't for the mixes, so she's good at dance without even realising it :lol:
November 5, 200717 yr slightly OT but I didnt realise she was 26 I thought she was like 23 not that its that much younger lol
November 6, 200717 yr :( I dont like the freemasons stuff!!! Hopefully this will be scrapped or just a remix album! <_<
November 6, 200717 yr I would prefer if she went BACK to the Dangerously In Love era (where she created CLASSIC RnB tunes), and then get Freemasons to remix the songs. 'Cause quite frankly, there's no way I'd want to listen through a Beyonce dance album. :lol:
November 6, 200717 yr Author I think it might be just one song as Beyonce only asked them to do one track. Timbaland is apparantly going to produce most of the album. Hmm who knows? The change will be interesting as I didn't really like 'B Day' that much. So I'm looking forward to what she comes up with this time :)
November 17, 200717 yr B'day sold pretty well!!!! Hope this one doesnt have too much timbo or freemasons!
