The former Destiny's Child star is gearing up to release the first single from the studio LP - the follow-up to 2013's 'Talk a Good Game' - but she's finding it a "challenge" to narrow down the songs for the final tracklisting.

She revealed: "I've recorded 45 songs to be completely honest, the challenge for me right now is solidifying like exactly what sound that is, I have three different sounds on the table. So I just want to know what that is and I feel like I have two albums ... that's not cool, I just need one."

The 'Commander' hitmaker says the record has a strong R&B vibe with a sprinkling of soul.

She told ABC News Radio: "It's definitely more R&B and to the core of even the dance music, it's still soul and that's the core of who I am, is my soul, and I always want that to come across."

The 34-year-old singer is currently shooting a music video for the first song, which is expected to be released in February.

She added: "I'm actually gearing up for a video right now, actually in rehearsals for a video right now I'm excited about. There's going to be a video."
