The ‘Countdown’ singer is said to have spent thousands of dollars on security and hiring out the entire studio complex to ensure privacy and to prevent the leaking of new tracks that will feature on the follow-up to her 2011 smash hit4.

“She’s spent thousands hiring out the whole studios. She’s got security on the doors to ensure no one hears a whisper,” a source toldThe Sun.

“She’s being strict with proceedings too, putting in 14-hour days and declaring nobody leaves until it’s perfect.”

Beyonce has reportedly teamed up with frequent collaborator and good friend Kanye West and up and coming producer Hit-Boi, who worked on Kanye and Jay’s monster collaborative album, Watch The Throne.
