Beyonce has revealed the title and heaps of other details about her forthcoming fourth album.
The superstar spoke to Billboard about her fourth album, aptly titled 4.
But the chronology isn’t the only reason it got that name. She says, “We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that for me. It's the day I was born. My mother's birthday, and a lot of my friends' birthdays, are on the fourth; April 4 is my wedding date.”
She says that she had more than 60 songs recorded, inspired by everything from Fela Kuti and Earth, Wind And Fire to Adele and Prince.
She said, “I also gave myself more freedom to really belt out some songs, and bring soul singing back: I used a lot of the brassiness and grittiness in my voice that people hear in my live performances, but not necessarily on my records.”
Beyonce also spoke about visiting Disneyland, dropping her father as a manager, her upcoming turn in the A Star Is Born remake, and her “risky” new sound on the ‘Run The World (Girls)’ single.
4 is set to be released later in the year. Read the whole Billboard interview here.
