There have been rumors that Beyoncé is releasing a new album. However, Lee Anne Callahan-Longo, general manager of Beyonce’s Parkwood Entertainment has denied those claims.
In an interview for an upcoming Billboard feature, Callahan-Longo discussed Beyoncé’s announcement of a four-disc “Platinum Edition” of Beyonce as well as her rumored album.
She says the “Platinum Edition,” which will be released on Nov. 24 on 2 CDs and 2 DVDs, was never planned as a secret. In regards to the rumored album, Beyonce Volume 2, she says a fan fabricated the track list.
"It's completely made up," Callahan-Longo added. “After all the hubbub this weekend, we kind of said, 'Well, let’s just put it out and say what it is.' It’s funny, I got a bunch of calls over the weekend and I would say, 'It’s exciting to know people are excited.' Even if they’re reporting it wrong, and that people would take their time to go and create a fake one-sheet — right down to using a Columbia logo on it. I would love to know who did it. They clearly knew what a line sheet used to look like – they don’t look like that anymore.”
The leaked track list listed 11 songs and featured songs titles such as, “KO,” “Good In Good Bye” and “Sensation of Pain” and guest features including “Renouncement,” which featured Justin Timberlake and “Cherry,” which featured Rihanna, Billboard notes.
Although the track list may be a complete lie, Callahan-Longo seemed intrigued by the creativity the fan showed with the track list.
”You could never have imagined their creativity. So seeing some of those [song] names, that was so fun and exciting,” she said.
The general manager also addressed whether or not The “Flawless” singer will continue to release secretive projects in the future.
“You can only be first once, so I’m not sure we’d want to do it again. We typically at Parkwood like to look at projects where, if it isn’t unique or different in some way, it’s really not interesting to us,” Callahan-Longo said.
