Beyoncé is reported to be preparing a June release for her new album.
The R&B diva is said to be working with collaborators as diverse as hip-hop producers The-Dream, Darkchild and Jim Jonsin, as well as DJ Diplo, Odd Future's Frank Ocean and rock groups Of Montreal and Sleigh Bells.
Speaking to MTV last year of her new album's varied influences, the singer said: "I'm mixing every type of genre that I love and I'm inspired by every type of genre . . . it's just everything I love all mixed together in my own little gumbo of music."
Sony Music Australia chief Denis Handlin noted that he listened to six of the new tracks, saying: "She wants to do a big tour off the back of this record . . . these songs, the best description I can give is groundbreaking; she's gone to another level."
Beyoncé recently split with her manager and father Jim Knowles and has been confirmed as a headliner at June's Glastonbury festival.
