Garrett: 'Beyoncé making party music'

Producer Sean Garrett has revealed that Beyoncé's next album will have a "party" sound.

Garrett, who has recently worked with Britney Spears and Rihanna, said that he was in the studio with the 'Irreplaceable' star this week and described the music as "up-tempo".

"I am going in the studio with Beyoncé this week to work on her next record," he told Music Mix.

"I think we are doing a lot of up-tempo records for this one. She’s in such a good place right now in life that she is interested in making party music, definitely."

Singer and producer Ne-Yo recently revealed that he is also contributing to the LP, saying: "It's coming along nicely. I can't speak too much on it, but it's another direction for her, and she’s carving out her own niche."
