This Spring Looks to Bring a New Beyonce Single

By AOL Music Editors Posted Mar 8th 2011 06:30PM

Beyonce may have a new single ready as early as the end of April.

Producer Robert "Shea" Taylor revealed that he has been working with Beyonce on her fourth studio album during the past several months, and says a new single is almost ready to go.

Taylor said that Beyonce's new album -- a follow up to her 2008 release 'I Am ... Sasha Fierce' -- is more pop but still R&B and compared it to Michael Jackson in his "prime." She also reportedly has a track featuring Kanye West that Taylor calls "Amazing." Beyonce also said that she was heavily influenced by Nigerian musician and humanitarian Fela Kuti for the new album.

In an homage to Fela Kuti, Beyonce recently stirred up some controversy when she wore black face makeup for a photo shoot honoring the 10th anniversary issue of French magazine L'Officiel.

Details on the new Beyonce album are still scarce, but she's already pulled in some heavy hitting producers including Taylor, Diplo, Usher and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart ('Single Ladies'), as well as collaborations with Ne-Yo and electro-pop duo Sleigh Bells. Get More From AOL Music.

Please Beyonce ..no more music ,,,please retire and let real singers get the credit. She cant sing live to save her life. Neither can Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and cheesy Miley Cyrus. No wonder the music industry is in the dumps.

And the list goes on and on...Actually I don't like Beyonce's voice at all. It gets on my nerves, with the exception of just 2 songs they all sound skreechy (sp) and the same.

Michael Jackson not in his prime is better than her mess. Michael Jackson's prime is untouchable and she will never be him.

By joe

Is she trying to be like Micheal Jackson? Do trolls live under bridges or in holes in the ground? I am confused. What are amerikans? They need to stop education budget cuts.
