Grammy-winning singer Beyoncé is not caving into the rumors of a joint album coming out with husband Jay Z and, instead, is showing love to the art world.
The normally social media-elusive Queen Bey treated fans to some new artsy pics on Instagram Tuesday (May 24).
Reports this week claim a joint Jay Z and Bey album has reached its completion.
Sources confirmed exclusively to Page Six that Jay and Bey’s surprise album is complete, and it will drop on his streaming service Tidal very soon. One source told us, “Jay and Beyoncé were never going to do an interview to address all the questions that came up after ‘Lemonade.’ It’s more their style to respond through music.” (Page Six)
Earlier this month, rumors of a Jay/Bey collaborative effort coming out soon developed online.
Long before there was Lemonade, Beyonce and Jay Z attempted to put out a joint album, sources tell Billboard, and the power couple still may see the project through in the near future. According to a source, Jay Z and Beyonce had “nearly finished” a record together but never quite did. “The label wouldn’t agree to the joint album,” says an insider of Beyonce’s longtime home at Columbia Records, a subsidiary of Sony Music. But a Sony source counters that claim, insisting that the company is “open to” partnering with the husband-and-wife team for such a project. (Billboard)
Buzz about a possible Jay Z solo album coming together emerged earlier this month.
Sean Carter, aka Jay-Z, is allegedly already at work on a new album, which explores his side of the marital schism Beyoncé’s Lemonade covered. This news, of course, is according to US Weekly, so until we hear it from Mr. Carter’s lips, we should probably take it with a pinch of lemon juice. (Ugh, sorry) Regardless of the validity in this claim, do we really need to hear Jay’s side? (PAPER Mag)
