Beyonce Knowles is "working nights" on her new album while in Paris.
The 'Run The World (Girls)' singer is visiting the French capital with husband Jay-Z, and while staying in a two story suite at the Hotel Le Meurice the pair have been working hard to get her forthcoming album complete.
A source told media: "They've set up a studio in another suite and have been working nights on her album."
The couple arrived in Paris by private jet on Monday (18.04.11), and enjoyed a trip with her six-year-old nephew Daniel - son of her sister Solange Knowles - to Disneyland today (21.04.11), where she was seen having fun wearing a cap with the image of Disney character Goofy.
However, she has spent most of her time working, with a source joking she hadn't even been seen shopping in the city's expensive stores.
The insider said: "She hasn't gone out on one of her customary kamikaze boutique runs."
Beyonce is thought to be working with 'S&M' hitmaker Rihanna on her new album after meeting at this year's Grammy Awards.
An insider said: "Rihanna has wanted to work with Beyonce for some time now and, after talking about a duet at this year's Grammys, they have finally managed to set aside some time to record together.
"The song will feature on Beyonce's album and will be a number one smash hit for sure."
