Beyoncé's most recent effort,
"4" (June 28 -
Columbia Records), was said to have been structured in a way that would showcase her diverse personal music tastes. From the looks of the rough list of collaborators [Producers:
Frank Ocean, Derek Miller, Diplo/Switch, Q-Tip, and Kanye]...
Miss Knowles' "Most Frequently Played Artists" playlist includes the likes of:
Major Lazer, Florence + The Machine,
Sleigh Bells, Bon Iver, and
Odd Future.
Sia, Babyface, Christopher "Tricky" Stewart,
The-Dream, Bangladesh, and
Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins also reportedly contributed to the album sessions.
Single #1,
"Girls (Who Run the World)" heavily draws from
Dilpo & Switch's passion project,
Major Lazer... More specifically, their 2009 track,
"Pon de Floor" [-feat. Vybz Kartel] from debut long-player,
Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do. With that said,
Beyoncé's take seemlessly melds Hip-Hop, Dancehall, Pop, and R&B. The extravagant "Girls (Who Run the World)" clip was directed by
Francis Lawrence in California over a 3-day span. Lawrence's past music video credits include:
"Ghetto Superstar," "Warning," "I'm a Slave 4 U,"
"Sk8er Boi," "Rock Your Body," "Pump It," and
"Bad Romance."
