Platinum selling R&B/Pop singer Beyoncé is gracing the cover of the latest issue of Billboard magazine. In the cover story, Beyoncé revealed that her upcoming LP is titled 4. Also Beyoncé spoked on her new single “Run The World (Girls),” female empowerment and her decision to leave her father/manager Mathew Knowles. Last week, it was announced that she would be receiving Billboards’ first ever Millennium Award. Below are some excerpts:
The new single, “Run the World (Girls),” is a very bold statement for you.
It’s definitely riskier than something a bit more…simple. I just heard the track and loved that it was so different: it felt a bit African, a bit electronic and futuristic. It reminded me of what I love, which is mixing different cultures and eras — things that typically don’t go together — to create a new sound. I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That’s how I’ve gotten to where I am.
The new album is called “4.” Aside from this being your fourth solo album, what significance does that number hold?
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.
