Sony Music Australia boss Denis Handlin flew to New York for meetings with executives last week, and was treated to an audience with the bootylicious lady herself.
The former Destiny’s Child singer rocked up in person to play international Sony executives songs from her new and fourth solo studio album, due for release late June.
Before playing the music, Beyonce said: “I just love making music and sharing it with my fans.”
As a solo artist, Beyonce has sold more than 11 million albums, and millions more with Destiny’s Child.
She is one of the most successful popstars of her generation.

With this in mind, the first single of her upcoming album should be heard in the next couple of weeks. To top it all off, fashion icon Roberto Cavalli, yesterday confirming that the singer wore an outfit from his collection while -quote unquote-“filming the first video from her new album”, so we must be prepared because the Queen Diva herself will coming back for her throne this year!
