NEW YORK, May 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Columbia Records will release "4," the fourth solo studio album from Beyonce on Tuesday, June 28, 2011.
The album was recorded over a year between the spring of 2009 and the spring of 2010, while Beyonce took time away from the spotlight. She engaged in what she describes as simple things, including listening to every kind of music she truly enjoys. Her mixed musical gumbo will be displayed on the upcoming album.

The title signifies not only the artist's fourth solo offering and the day of her birth but it is also a personal gift to her fans. For over one year now her fans around the world took to their social media pages urging her to name the album for her special number.

The intensely anticipated video for the album's lead single, "Run The World (Girls)," made its premiere on American Idol tonight. The online debut of the full-length video immediately followed at www.beyonceonline.com.

Filmed in Los Angeles and the Mojave Desert over three days in April, the Francis Lawrence-directed video boasts a cast of over 200 dancers, a menagerie of exotic animals and Beyonce as the leader of a stunning army of women.

I love the single and the cover and I like the album title, I never expect great album titles from her so I am satisfied with it. Hope the albums good. It's my second most anticipated album after Florence + the Machine's next record. now that Born this Way's leaked.

I don't like the cover at all, if half of her name wasn't on the front I would've struggled to tell it was her.

gutted with that cover!

It really looks like she has cheapened herself....very lazy IMO! but fans will love it i bet!

I just hope her singles are better to give really! looks a bit too close to She Wolf too....only i prefer Shakira

I think some will like it and some will think it's boring. I love it. It's simple and quite high fashion looking. I guess it didn't need to be over the top or anything as the name of the album is '4' and she said it's a personal to her etc.

I guess it's not that much different from Rihanna and Britney's covers of their latest albums.

Is that really the final cover? It looks fan-made to me. Or like one of those temporary covers Amazon use for pre-orders, before the real one is unveiled.

And she looks a bit like Shakira in that picture.

Lol

Well if anything Rihanna and Britney's cover are more similar to each other as they just have their faces on it.

Beyonce has more of her body in it. Similar to her own album cover Bday

I love how she has a nail file in her hand and her (fake) nails haven't been filed.

love the video!!! that strange shoulder thing in the intro is inspired! the body pop kinda thing and then the sand spinny is very good!

the choreo reminded me a little of Janelle Monae kinda style....i mean the androgenic and the kinda old skool dance reminded me of Tightrope but of course yeah!

and addinv to the comparisons Janet with her belly button hands on breasts and Madonnas JUSt belly button Like A Prayer

to be honest i do prefer the Bidet (funny!) cover to 4...which IMO doesnt look too much like how i think of Bey and it does look fan made, kinda lazy :/

I liked the Revolution paintings in the video :/ wish that was like the cover....but it looks kinda more like Cheryl Coles Messy Little Cumstains

So excited for the album

The great thing is that the people in the listening session said every track they heard is better than Run The World, not that i dislike it, i love Run The World, true club banger.
