The Dream did NOT say he was producing the lead single and I kinda doubt he is unless its a BANGER like Single Ladies.

If shes debuting the single at the Superbowl then surely it will be something BIG to hype the audience.

We can ALL be safe in knowing its NOT a ballad though.

Probaly penned by The Cataracs or Hit-Boy. He was there at the Hamptons for the longest out of everyone.

But who said Dream has the first single? No one.

Just like Timberland said how he had a big part in Beyonce's 3rd album & pow not one of his tracks made IASF. Beyonce has the last and the first say so.

4 was honestly her best piece of work. It was so uniquely Beyonce. It also had a bunch of killer tracks too bad her marketing and promo was a mess. If she had marketed well and better paced herself she should've done this:
Countdown- lead single in may with billboard and American idol performances.
Love on top- 2nd single in august with the vma performance that skyrockets it.
I was here/party- 3rd single in November with party as urban only. I was here new years performance.
End of time- February Valentine's day music video release.

She could've thrown run the world or best thing I never had at the end since she loves doing tons of singles but the order I put it in would've been an amazing era with appropriate marketing. Oh well here's hoping she releases good material this new era.

I love the way u think. Even b4 i hrd/had the album, ppl on twitter were saying countdown shd've been the lead single. Its progressive next-level yet signature Bey. I just hope her n her team learnt from all the mistakes of that era. Thats the salient thing now

Can we move on from 4 that era is OVER and done with leave it in 2011. We are on to the next one.

He's "involved in every part of the process" for her forthcoming fifth solo album.

Should we be worried?

[Kisuke]

I'm sure we're getting a new single b4 the Super Bowl, but the rest about 2 singles. I'll wait until it comes from Beyonce and not The Dream.

The-Dream is a part of her creative team but I doubt he will have much say in the final music that makes the album, that's all Beyonce's decision

Regardless of how the hive feels about him, The-Dream does bring out the best in Beyonce and he's done some great songs with her (Smash Into You, Single Ladies, 1+1, End of Time, Love on Top, Schoolin' Life, Dance For You)

Its pretty obviously "4" was not meant to explode, everything from the single choices to the amount of appearances she made proves that. B is not what u call a messy person when it comes to her work.

Ok we'll just leave that as is

[Ressti]

The Dream + Beyonce = Magic.

I believe she just wanted her R&B audience back with "4". She lost them with IASF.

This time, I want an album full of mid/up-tempo's. Like B'Day, but with a more experimental and progressive sound like "4", fused with the pop-rock elements of IASF.
