Beyoncé has confirmed that she is currently working on new solo music in preparation of her first solo album in five years.

The singer has yet to follow up on the success of her 2016 'Lemonade' album, but says that she hopes her new music  will help fans escape from the turbulence and trauma of the pandemic. 

“With all the isolation and injustice over the past year, I think we are all ready to escape, travel, love, and laugh again,” told Harper’s Bazaar. “I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible. I’ve been in the studio for a year and a half.”

She added: “Sometimes it takes a year for me to personally search through thousands of sounds to find just the right kick or snare. One chorus can have up to 200 stacked harmonies.

“Still, there’s nothing like the amount of love, passion, and healing that I feel in the recording studio. After 31 years, it feels just as exciting as it did when I was nine-years-old. Yes, the music is coming!”

Her last studio album 'Everything is Love' was released in 2018 in collaboration with her husband, Jay-Z. Beyoncé reflected on her early career as her 40th birthday approaches next month.

“I started taking voice lessons from an opera singer at nine. By 10 I had already recorded at least 50 or 60 songs in the recording studio. This was before Pro Tools, when you recorded to tape,” she said.

“I had my first vocal injury at 13 from singing in the studio for too many hours. We had just gotten our first record deal, and I was afraid I had developed nodules and destroyed my voice and that my career could be over. The doctors put me on vocal rest all summer and I was silent once again.”
