Beyonce Drops "4" Album Cover & Release Date

The Bey swarm is officially here.  And it's going straight through summer 2011.  Not only did Beyonce Knowles drop her "Run The World (Girls)" video on Wednesday night, but her album cover and release date for 4 was revealed.  Read on for the deets....
Loving this sexy cover.  A departure from the regular Bey.  And as for when you can expect to grab up a copy of her upcoming album named after her lucky number 4......the release date is reportedly June 28th.
Beyonce named her album 4 as many important moments in her life have happened on the 4th.  Her birth date, her hubby Jay-Z's birth date, the couple's wedding date, and this is her 4th solo album.
Her label home Columbia reports:
The album was recorded over a year between the spring of 2009 and the spring of 2010, 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.
This makes the second summer release (her solo debut Dangerously In Love was also released in June) out of her 4 albums.  Nice.
