Music - Beyoncé – 4
It is her fourth album since she
went solo and has just released her latest offering which I am about to
review about titled Beyoncé - 4 which marks
the first release by Knowles since separating, professionally, with
father and manager, Mathew Knowles. During spring 2009, Knowles began
work on her fourth album, and was writing and producing material;
following the release of I am... Sasha Fierce in 2008, which was
inspired by her alter ego, Sasha Fierce, Knowles announced in February
2010 that she "killed" Fierce "because I've grown and now I'm able to
merge the two [personalities]". She explained that she was using live
music to create her own music genre. She later clarified the statement,
"Well, I wouldn't say I'm inventing a new genre. I'm mixing every type
of genre that I love and I'm inspired by every type of genre...I'm not
putting myself in a box. It's not R&B, it's not typically pop, it's
not rock - it's just everything I love mixed together". Knowles said
that the album was inspired by several musicians, including Fela
Kuti, The Stylistics, Lauryn Hill, Stevie Wonder, and Michael
Jackson. Producers Jim Jonsin and Ne-Yo were known to have collaborated
with Beyonce on the album. Ne-Yo stated, "It’s coming along nicely. I can’t speak too much on it, but it’s another direction for her, and she’s carving out her own niche. In a minute nobody will be in Beyoncé’s lane. They really can’t get in her lane now, but they really can’t get in her lane after this album." Jonsin spoke of his intention to create 1980s-influenced electro music using hard drums.
On January 24, Diplo announced that he had been recording music with Knowles, Switch and Derek Miller of Sleigh Bells. Christopher
"Tricky" Stewart, The-Dream Bangladesh, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins,
Frank Ocean, Kanye West, Q-Tip and Alja Jackson are
also working with Knowles on the album. Sia and Talay Riley have
written songs which they pitched for the album. The album has two
singles "Run the World (Girls)" was released for digital
download worldwide on April 21, 2011. The single was rushed for release
after an early demo leaked on April 18, 2011. "Best Thing I Never Had"
was released on June 1, 2011, as the album's second single.
