Knowles was reportedly so pleased with her performance alongside country band Sugarland at the American Music Awards that she plans to ditch her traditional R'n'B style on her new LP.
The singer sang a re-worked version of her hit 'Irreplaceable' at the award ceremony at the weekend.
A source close to the popstar has been quoted as saying: "Beyoncé wants to try something completely different.
"She is a big fan of country music and thought that would be an interesting and exciting way to go.
"She tested the waters at the American Music Awards last weekend and she is up for it."
