Although its release date isn’t another 3 weeks away, fans are already listening to Beyonce’s latest effort, “4.” The album leaked in full online on Tuesday.
The album features 12 tracks, including first single “Run the World (Girls),” “1 + 1,” and the official second single, the Babyface-penned “The Best Thing I Never Had,” which were all released to iTunes as a countdown to the album’s release.
The decidedly downtempo album (think more “I Am..” than “Sasha Fierce”) also features the Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh-sampling “Party,” which features a guest appearance Doug E. Fresh.
Beyonce also samples Boyz II Men’s “Uhh Ahh” for “Countdown,” while other hitmakers on the album include Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic and Diane Warren on “I Am Here.”
A deluxe edition of the album is also set to be released exclusively at Target, which will feature bonus tracks and remixes.
Beyonce’s “4” is officially set for release on June 28th. She’s also set to announce a fall tour in support of the album.
