Beyonce to release Kanye West-assisted single Next Month

Taking a break from the life of a starlet, Beyonce is preparing her long-awaited return to the studio. Beyonce last released an album in 2008, her third effort I Am... Sasha Fierce. The album was met with mixed critical reviews. Aside from her hit singles, critics say the album was rather empty.

Despite the mixed reviews, Beyonce was nominated for several awards because of the album. She had been nominated for Video of the Year in 2009 by MTV. Beyonce would lose this award to newcomer, Taylor Swift. This prompted Kanye West to infamously take the mic away from Swift and ignite his major backlash.

Last year, Kanye West enjoyed great retribution when he released his album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. In a matter of months, he became the favorite in rap again. Now, Kanye West is spending time with Beyonce's husband, Jay-Z, working on their own collaboration album. This album will be the first time Kanye West and Jay-Z face off as equals.

Earlier today, Beyonce announced she would begin working on new music. With nearly three years passing since her last release, fans began wondering when she would return. The speculation is just enough for Bey to prepare her return. Given her history with Kanye West, Beyonce felt it was fitting to have the Louis Vitton don help her return to the game. Beyonce said she will be releasing a new single next month and it will feature a verse from Kanye West.

The new Beyonce single is likely to be the lead from her fourth studio album.
