Beyonce Says That She Has Taken Risks on Her New Album

In a recent letter to her fans, Beyonce talked about her new album, which will hit stores on November 18.

At this point, the disc is rather mysterious and has yet to leak, which is rare for such an anticipated album.

The only thing that we know about Beyonce's latest effort is that she has two singles, called "If I Were a Boy" and "Single Ladies," and that Justin Timberlake will be on at least one of the tracks.

Mrs. Sean "Jay-Z" Carter says, "My music will explain it all. I have worked on this album for close to one year. I have taken the time so I can create my sound. Something that says who I am at this stage in my life. I have poured my heart and soul into it. It is my baby."

Beyonce goes on to admit that she spent more time working on this disc than any other in her career, which is scary when considering how great her previous albums have been.

"I have recorded over 70 songs and have created a sound that reveals all of me. I am in a different place right now, and I wanted people to see the many sides of me," she adds. "The music is upbeat for the dance, fun side, and it is reflective, passionate and serious for the personal side. I have taken risks here."

The duel singles will hit the airwaves on October 7.
