Beyonce to Collaborate with Freemasons on Her Next Album!

I’m still shocked Beyonce’s B’Day didn’t sell as well as her label had wanted. I loved that album - and B marketed the hell out of it...come on, a video for every track?

Must have been the alleged alligator abuse...Anyway, Beyonce is looking ahead to her next LP, and she and her peeps have decided to go with less R&B, more dance for her new sound. In fact, she’s supposedly working with dance duo The Freemasons.

The guys have remixed both Beyonce’s “Déjà vu” (actually, I think leading with that track may have been B’Day’s mistake) and her duet with Shakira, “Beautiful Liar.” Watch the compilation video below to hear Freemasons’ remix of “Beatuiful Liar” – no wonder this got B’s attention...

 

James Wiltshire of The Freemasons has said that B’Day was too American in its sound to achieve the level of sales her label wanted...and that a more dance-y album will garner Beyonce new, international appeal.

James also told Britain’s Daily Star that B’s camp has been in daily contact with The Freemasons. “Normally big stars don't take any notice of smaller acts like ours, so her decision to work with us shows just where she is going with this album.”

And they’re returning the favor for Beyonce, pushing back other projects to work with her. "We were asked to do the remix of Britney's 'Gimme More' and to work on Donna Summer's new album...But we put them both on hold to work with Beyoncé."

Now wait a minute – a Freemasons remix of “Gimme More” sounds fierce! Damn it, B!
