Beyonce announced that beloved girl-group Destiny's Child will release 'Love Songs' in late January, the band's first album since 2004's 'Destiny Fulfilled'.

The Amazon pre-order page for the album describes the project as a collection of previously recorded "romantic gems" -- with the addition of 'Nuclear', a new song produced by Pharrell Williams. That song was written by Pharrell, Michelle Williams, James Fauntleroy and Lonny Bereal.

Beyonce and Bereal provided vocal production.



"I am so proud to announce the first original Destiny's Child music in eight years!" she wrote.

The group split in 2005 following their successful 'Destiny Fulfilled and Lovin' It Tour' to focus on their solo careers. Their last live performance was at the 2006 NBA All-Star Game, where the group sang 'The Star Spangled Banner'.



'Love Songs' will be available for purchase on Jan. 29th.

Beyonce's GQ Magazine Interview: Singer Talks Confidence and Shows More Skin for the 'Sexiest Women Of The 21st Century' Issue

Beyonce is one hot mama and she's proving that more than ever on the cover of GQ's "Sexiest Women Of The 21st Century" issue. Not only does she have the body to pull off barely-there, leopard-printed panties and some major underboob, but she's clearly got the confidence to back it up.

“I now know that, yes, I am powerful. I’m more powerful than my mind can even digest and understand," Beyonce told GQ when asked about her tremendous influence.















After taking some time off to relax and give birth to her adorable daughter with Jay-Z, Blue Ivy, the 31-year-old superstar will be thrust back into the spotlight this year with her highly anticipated Super Bowl Performance and a rumored new album. But she's been tireless in working for this dazzling and seemingly endless career since she was a little girl -- and she isn't shy about admitting it.

“I worked so hard during my childhood to meet this goal: By the time I was 30 years old, I could do what I want. I’ve reached that. I feel very fortunate to be in that position. But I’ve sacrificed a lot of things, and I’ve worked harder than probably anyone I know, at least in the music industry. So I just have to remind myself that I deserve it,” Beyonce told GQ.














The 'Love On Top' singer's younger sister, Solange Knowles, cosigns, telling the glossy that she remembers Beyonce's relentless rehearsing at the tender age of 10.

"I specifically remember her taking a line out of a song or a routine and just doing it over and over and over again until it was perfect and it was strong," Solange said. "When everybody else was ready to say, ‘Okay, I’m tired, let’s take a break,’ she wanted to continue—to ace it and overcome it.”

Sounds like the kind of work ethic that affords you the superstar status Beyonce has become accustomed to.

I got those first 2 pictures you posted JamesG on my bedroom wall from GQ. Beyonce is the hottest black woman i've seen and i've seen a lot of hot black female celebrities from the past and present. Jay-Z is a very lucky man and i hope he treats her right for a long time because if things don't work out, she can be my woman LOL. She has a lot of black men jealous of Jay-Z because they want her LOL.
