BEYONCE'S FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM INSPIRED BY FELA KUTI 

After impressing her label bosses at a private listening session for her new album, it is being reported that R&B/Pop Queen Beyonce will release her fourth solo studio project as early as June 2011!

"I'm not in a box. It's not R&B. It's not typically pop. It's not rock. It's just everything I love all mixed together in my own little gumbo of music. [I'm inspired by] Fela Kuti, the Stylistics. How random, right? So many people … Lauryn Hill, Stevie Wonder, of course, Michael Jackson's Off the Wall … all of those things I'm kind of mixing together."  ---- Beyonce

Beyonce impressed  her label bosses at a private listening session for her new album, it is being reported that R&B/Pop Queen Beyonce will release her fourth solo studio project as early as June 2011!

The singer previewed 6 tracks from the album at an exclusive session in New York last week, and is believed to have received a very positive response from Sony execs.

"It was just amazing," Sony Music Australia boss Denis Handlin told The Daily Telegraph. "These songs, the best description I can give is groundbreaking. She's gone to another level."

Another level is exactly right. Beyonce told a popular TV station last year that her album has no genre, and its sound takes inspiration from several different types of music.
