Coincidentally, the communal belief that new music from the Black is King star is on the way aligns with a report that seemingly confirms the rumors. Per HitsDailyDouble, Sony Music is reportedly anticipating “victory laps in Q4” as they are preparing to release projects from Harry Styles and Beyoncé before the end of the fiscal year ending on March 30, 2022.
Earlier this week, actor Leon Bridges also shared a post of a text exchange between him and a vinyl producer who claimed he met with Bey to discuss vinyl options for her new project.
Given Beyoncé’s history of surprise album releases, fans are now preparing themselves for what’s to come. See some more reactions to her joining TikTok below.
