Rumors circulating regarding Beyoncé's upcoming music - Rumors swirling over Beyoncé's upcoming record release
In an exciting turn of events, Beyoncé's entertainment company has published a new video on Instagram, fuelling speculations about the pop icon's next album. The video, titled "The Denim Cowboy," a collaboration with denim brand Levi’s, has generated a buzz among fans, with many believing it hints at a rock-inspired direction for the final act of Beyoncé's current trilogy[1].
The video, released on August 4, 2025, sees Beyoncé transition from a cowboy look to riding off on a motorcycle in a rhinestone-studded denim outfit. This shift, coupled with her recent Instagram tributes to rock legends like Prince and Betty Davis, her mullet hairstyle in a CR Fashion Book shoot, and the motorcycle motif appearing in her 2022 British Vogue cover story, collectively point to a deliberate aesthetic and musical shift in Act III of her trilogy[1].
While there is no official announcement yet about the album’s musical style or release date, fan excitement and speculation remain high regarding a rock sound for Act III[1][3]. It is worth noting that the second part of Beyoncé's trilogy, "Cowboy Carter," is set to release in 2024, showcasing country music influences[2].
The video features Beyoncé in various outfits, with her riding a horse and driving off on a motorcycle. The collaboration with a jeans brand suggests a potential promotional tie-in, but it does not explicitly confirm the release of Beyoncé's next album[4].
Beyoncé, aged 43, has been working on a trilogy of albums. The first part, "Renaissance," was released in 2022, inspired by disco and dance music[5]. The planned third album in the trilogy has yet to reveal any details.
For fans eagerly awaiting Beyoncé's next move, the video's release has undoubtedly added to the anticipation, with many speculating that the Queen B is set to rock our world with a new sound in the near future.

I'm not going to be a big fan of this potential rock direction in Beyoncé's music, as I'm more of a traditional pop music enthusiast. Despite the buzz surrounding the music shift in her new album, I find myself apprehensive about her deviating from her usual dance music style.
