Beyonce 'Run The World (Girls)' video

Columbia Records will release '4,' the fourth solo studio album from Beyoncé on Tuesday, June, 28, 2011.

The album was recorded over a year between the spring of 2010 and the spring of 2011, while Beyoncé 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 Beyoncé as the leader of a stunning army of women.

Beyonce and Bruno Mars join Jay-Z and Kanye

Beyonce and Bruno - the stars come out to play on a new Jay-Z and Kanye tune.

The long-anticipated Watch The Throne album, a landmark collaboration between Jay-Z and Kanye West, has been in the works for a little too long and the lead track 'H.A.M.' was fairly underwhelming.

But rumours abound that the first true single from the album will be called 'Lift Off' and will feature guest spots from Mrs. Jay-Z and hitmaker Bruno Mars.

It was produced by Jeff Bhasker, or as Bhasker himself tweeted 'Lift Off was produced by Kanye Bhasker and Jeffrey West'.

And the album is almost done, according to producer/engineer Young Guru who last week told Vibe 'Right now, I'm really trying to get Jay and Kanye to hurry up and finish this Watch The Throne album because the world needs to hear it. It just needs little tweaks and things like that. But the core of the album is finished.'

But another engineer Mike Dean said that it might need another mix. In a recent video interview with Pensado's Place two weeks ago, Dean said that they had somebody try to mix it but it didn't work out.

Watch The Throne's release date was originally set for late last year, then January, then March. We'll keep you in the loop
