For the past couple of months, rumors have been swarming around that Beyonce was going to release a dance album, and possible a country album. Telling by the above track, it seems as though the dance rumor was true. “Beautiful Nightmare” must be a teaser track just so the Music World camp can give us a taste of what’s going to be on the album. Even though I like the direction of the song, I don’t think that this will make the cut for the next album.

Reports were made that Timbaland was to produce the bulk of Beyonce’s as-yet-titled third studio album. The new project, which will be going for more a house, pop, dance and international sound will be the follow-up to 2006′s multi-platinum B’Day. I’m hoping that the rumors that Timbaland involved are true, because I think that’d be absolutely insane.

Make sure you check out Beyonce on MySpace or visit her official site for more updates on the progress of her new project.
