It’s as if we all got a bit thrown off when Beyoncé posted a message to her fans on July 26th. The message read, “Leave your footprint on 19 August 2012.” That then sparks a series of endless possibilities as to how one’s “footprints” could be marked. There is high anticipation of a potential follow-up to her fragrance Pulse. Maybe baby Blue Ivy will be “stepping out” soon; well, maybe not stepping out in a literal sense, but baby footwear is an option. Is the follow-up to 4 on its way? Way back in February, the OneRepublic member Ryan Tedder, spilled that he was working with King Bey on new music that was based on a newer phase of her life; parenthood.

“The conversations about her next album literally just started and there [are] two projects happening. All I can say is you kind of feed her the best that you have and she’s this phenomenal filter and she takes it all in.”

Whatever the secret is, it is certain that America will be on the edge of its seat until it is released.
