The Houston native has enlisted a cast of industry heavyweights — Pharrell, Timbaland, Dream, and Justin Timberlake — on co-writing and production chores, and the album is expected to arrive in 2013. Beyonce will reportedly unveil a new cut from her upcoming record during her Super Bowl performance, NME reports .
