The Beyoncé album isn't finished yet (or at least it wasn't on Monday)

  • March 20, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

NOT-BEYONCERyan Tedder — one of the key names linked to the upcoming Beyoncé album — has confirmed to Popjustice that he's only just finishing work on his con­tri­bu­tions.

"What I've been a part of is my favourite thing that I'm working on at the moment and I'm finishing today actually," he told us on Monday.

Aware of the fact that the album would need to be wrapped up pretty soon, he added: "I'm praying to god that it's not too late as I've been so busy it's taken me two weeks to get this damn thing done. But it gives me goose­bumps."

No stranger to seeing a song pass from one artist to another at the last minute, Teddo then explained that "I never know what's going to make a record, so I don't want to be the guy going 'I've made the biggest hit on the album' and then it's not on there".

OH GOD PLEASE LET IT BE AS GOOD AS 'HALO'.

OR 'BATTLEFIELD'.

You'll be able to read the full interview with him soon, don't worry.
