Losing You singer Solange has admitted that she has "not slept" in days as she is determined to put the finishing touches to her third album.
The 27-year-old star is hoping to release her first album in five years by the end of the year.
Taking to Twitter, Solange wrote: ''Have not slept in 4 days, working round the clock to turn in my first release on @SaintRecords. Hella hella excited to tell you more soon! (sic)''
Solange, who is the younger sister of Beyonce Knowles, also had to cancel a number of live dates this summer so she could concentrate on the new album.
The Bad Girls singer apologised to fans on her website, writing: ''I am completely devastated to announce that I will be cancelling my international festival dates for the summer.
''I wish I could put in words how much of a difficult decision this was...but between moving part time to a new city, starting my son in a new school, and writing/recording my new record...I really had to make the best decision for my mental/physical health and provide some stability for my family.
''I am so so sooooo sorry if I've disappointed... and really hope to make it out to those special cities soon enough! (sic)''
