Plans for a March 2004 release of the new Beyonce album have been scuttled by Sony Music. Instead, the label is concentrating on getting a new Destiny's Child album ready for a late summer release.
Beyonce won't be off the radio, however. Sony is sending out a new single from "Dangerously" called "Naughty Girl" to follow her hits "Crazy in Love" with Jay-Z, and "Baby Boy" with Sean Paul.
One possible reason for the change in plans is that no work, per se, has materialized for a new Beyonce album even though the March date was scheduled for some time. The new album was supposed to comprise many tracks that didn't make "Dangerously," including "Summertime," a recent radio hit that wasn't on the album.
But Sony execs changed their minds, I am told, about over-saturating the market with Beyonce's music especially since Destiny's Child is about to begin recording their new album.
"Destiny's Child is too important a franchise to just let it drop," my source says.
This approach is quite different from another solo star who broke loose from a group this year. Justin Timberlake, sources say, has decided to record a follow-up album to "Justified" rather than make a new 'N Sync album with his bandmates.
