Whatever Beyoncé neglects to reveal about her album, we can always count on longtime collaborator The-Dream to fill us in. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at the premiere of her HBO documentary, “Life is But a Dream,” The-Dream talks about the space Beyoncé was in while recording her forthcoming fifth album due as soon as April. Get excited.

There are albums that you turn a corner on that aren’t always taken for the glitz and glamour of things, because it’s not as commercial. But they’re corner albums, and they have to be there. She had to turn that corner with 4 in order to get to where we’re trying to go right now."
And as to whether she’s still a workaholic:
