After
Beyoncé posted two photos of her hoop earrings -- engraved with the word
"Ratchet" -- on Instagram at the end of December, rumors of an upcoming
single started swirling.
On Dec.
30, Bey posted a photo in which she rocks "Ratchet" bamboo earrings
and a Houston Rockets fitted, repping her hometown. A camera, which hints at a
video set, is just barely visible to her left in the photo. The day before
(Dec. 29), Bey posted a photo of the earrings alongside a pair of purple
printed flats.
Will
"Ratchet" be the title of the first single off her forthcoming fifth
studio album? Or, even better, will it be a collaboration with Lady Gaga and
Azealia Banks?
Gaga,
who rocked her own "Ratchet" hoops on Instagram in November, revealed
in an October web chat that she had finished a song of the same name, featuring
Azealia Banks. Either that song or another track, "Tea," will likely
be released in January as the lead single from Gaga's upcoming album,
"ARTPOP," the singer revealed on her fansite, LittleMonsters.com.
Banks
told Brazil's Mix TV in September, "I worked with Lady Gaga, but I worked
with Lady Gaga from afar. We worked via email and via Internet. We have a song
called 'Red Flame' and a song called 'Ratchet,' but I don't know what she's
doing with it. She's going to release it when she wants to release it."
In
October, Gaga also told a fan via Twitter that there will be a sequel to
"Telephone." The question now is, will it be on Bey's album or
Gaga's?
If true, this will be
the third time that Gaga and Beyonce have worked together. The ladies
collaborated on "Telephone," for Gaga's 2009 album "The Fame
Monster," and on Bey's "I Am...Sasha Fierce" song, the
"Video Phone" extended remix.
