Beyoncé has teased fans with details of what her new album is sounding like.

The singer is said to be currently working on her fifth studio record as she follows up 2011's '4'.

Speaking in the new issue of Vogue, Beyoncé claimed that her new material is "a lot more sensual...empowering".

She added: "Right now, after giving birth, I really understand the power of my body. I just feel my body means something completely different. I feel a lot more confident about it. Even being heavier, thinner, whatever. I feel a lot more like a woman. More feminine, more sensual. And no shame."

Beyoncé recently made her live comeback at the Super Bowl on February 3 following the birth of daughter Blue Ivy Carter last year.
