Rap-Up.com || Beyoncé to Release Third Album Nov. 18

She’s back! Music World Music/Columbia Records will release the third full-length studio album from the international superstar and cultural icon Beyoncé on Tuesday, November 18th.

One of 2008’s most hotly anticipated new album releases, Beyoncé’s as-yet-untitled upcoming album marks the artist’s first new studio collection since the Grammy-winning multi-platinum-selling B’Day debuted at #1 on charts around the world shortly after its international release on September 4, 2006 (in celebration of Beyoncé’s 25th birthday).

Beyoncé’s fans will get their first glimpse of the artist’s new album with the simultaneous release of two of the album’s key tracks—”If I Were A Boy” and “Single Ladies”—scheduled to impact radio on October 7th.

With all songs co-written and co-produced by Beyoncé, the artist’s third studio album is her most personal, reflective, and revelatory collection to-date.

Lensed live at Radio City Music Hall on September 5th, Beyoncé’s spectacular performance at the “Fashion Rocks” fifth anniversary extravaganza, a star-studded concert honoring the relationship between music and fashion, will be broadcast on CBS on Tuesday, September 9th at 9 p.m. (ET/PT).

Beyonce stans are so immature.

Beyonce has clearly run out of ideas if she’s swagger jacking Ciara and remaking old DC songs. That’s why she’s putting out two singles at the same time. None of them must be that strong.

Yes I am crazy. And?

What’s your point?

Her song titles sound unoriginal.

Please stop comparing to Ciara’s “Like a Boy” single, when no one even heard a note of B’s Song. Can’t understand why people are that crazy to hate. Sure, the title sounds the same in some way, but I#m sure it’ll be complete different… so, who cares, there are hundreds of songs with even the same title.

Can’t wait for the singles and album to drop. The Queen is back… waited so long for it :)

Good laud, ya’ll are just a mess! WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THE DAMN SONG! Geez…And this is just my personal opinion…..but I don’t get why it is they are releasing an album for her near when Michelle is supposed to drop? I’m not even comparing the two I’m just saying if they want both artists to get their shine and to sell, space it out!

It was already a BAD move for them to push Michelle’s album back and now to have Beyonce drop the month right after? Come on Columbia!

Seriously, why do they keep putting Michelle Williams on the back burner?

I didn\’t expect a new album from Beyonce this soon.

Sorry Beyonce stans but the chick\’s sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo overrated and overhyped. Yup, I said it. She\’s NOT for the people. Her music is senseless and all her mediahype is nausiating. Will NOT be looking forward to all this useless overexposure.

There’s so much other talent that needs to be hyped: Esperanza Spalding, Ledisi, etc. These woman can SAAAAANG and their artistry is amazing. But it’s all about record sales and media coverage so the truly talented ones lost out. Sadly, that’s the way of the world.

Who in their right mind made Beyonce the “Queen of R&B”? That’s like saying that Jesse Jackson’s the “Leader of Black America.”
Go listen to some real music. O, I forgot. REAL talent isn’t always rewarded.

I’m not buying this Biotch album, I’ll download it for free. She got Jay-Z and that wannabe fake arse ring. She doesn’t look like she needs my money any way.
