Beyoncé Announces Fourth Album Title...
Beyoncé has revealed the name of her upcoming album: "
4."
In an
Exclusive Interview with Billboard's Ray Rogers, the star says that the album's title was inspired by her fans. "Everywhere I look, I see them calling it '4,' she explains. "I had a whole other name and concept, but I keep seeing that the fans love the name '4,' and I think it would be a really nice thing to let them name the record."
The number four also holds personal significance for Beyoncé, and not just because her latest studio album will be her fourth as a solo artist. "We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that for me," she says. It's the day I was born. My mother's birthday, Jay-Z's birthday and a lot of my friends' birthdays, are on the fourth; April 4 is my wedding date."
