Singer-actress Beyonce Knowles is reportedly going to release her long-awaited sixth album after her performance with rock band Coldplay at the Super Bowl halftime show on February 7.

According to The Sun newspaper, Knowles's new record had been ready since late last year, but she decided to delay it and wait until the hype around singer Adele's album "25" dies down, reports aceshowbiz.com.

"She held off on a release as a code of honour to Adele, so their records didn't clash," a source said.

"Beyonce doesn't have the pressure of releasing an album and is doing bits here and there because she and her team know it is Adele's time to shine. The last few months have been all about her comeback," the insider added.
