Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been at the top of all the entertainment headlines since the birth of their daughter. But that has not gotten in the way of them continuing their careers. They are both said to be back in the studio and working on new material for this year and the upcoming one. The Huffington Post reports that the Carters’ representatives and friends say that 2012 will be a great year for both of the couple’s careers.

They may be new parents, but Beyonce and Jay-Z aren’t taking much of a career break — both are reportedly working on new music.

“The conversations about [Beyonce’s] next album literally just started and there [are] two projects happening,” songwriter Ryan Tedder told AOL’s The Boombox. “All I can say is that you kind of feed her the best that you have and she’s this phenomenal filter and takes it all in… she’s not interested in 2012, she’s [interested in] what’s going to sound good for 2013… Without question she steers the ship. [With Beyonce] you just let her go — she’s ridiculous, she’s the best.”

As for Jay-Z, fellow artist Pharrell Williams told MTV that “we’re working on something, and it’s crazy.”
