Beyonce:4 Art Work..AMAZING
A Special Beyonce Hour This Week End
This Thursday, June 30th at 7PM ET/PT, MTV and BET will jointly premiere Beyoncé: Year of 4, a half-hour TV special documenting the year-long personal and artistic journey Beyoncé embarked upon on the road to 4.
Beyoncé: Year of 4 begins at the conclusion of Beyoncé's much anticipated I AM... tour, and the superstar's realization that she's in need of a break. Heeding the advice of her mother, the life-long workaholic retreats from the public eye to spend a year traveling the world and spending time with her family and husband, Jay-Z, all of which she documents with her own camera. Reflecting on all she's accomplished during her time away, Beyoncé decides to mark her return by taking control of her business and making an album both heartfelt and personal.
Beyoncé's return to the spotlight as an independent woman sees her navigating her new company through the rough waters of the music industry while working to deliver an album both honest and completely different from anything she's ever done - and everything the mainstream expects of her. Beyoncé: Year of 4 tracks that journey, and the personal and artistic success it brings Beyoncé, culminating in the release of her fourth solo album, 4.

there are few reviews of 4 that were published in the UK, where the album was released yesterday and shot to #1 on the iTunes charts. Today, with the album out in the US, we've got 4 more reviews of 4 to share with you, this time from the other side of the pond:
*the New York Times review of 4
"Most of '4,' though, no one else could get away with, or would even want to try. Beyoncé will turn 30 in September, and judging by the mood of this album, it couldn’t come any more quickly," Jon Caramanica of the New York Times writes. "For Beyoncé, content always trumps structure, and she’s so relentlessly perfect that she’s able to appear to adapt to any sound or scene when she’s really just applying her signature gloss atop it. She’s tough enough for 'Run the World (Girls),'...and also coy enough for 'Party'.
*the Pitchfork review of 4
"'4,' which largely deals with monogamy and all that comes with committing to one person for a potential lifetime. Which, like a bad marriage, might sound boring, repetitive, staid. But, in Beyoncé's more-than-capable and still-in-love hands, a relationship that lasts can seem as complicated and rewarding as anyone would hope." Pitchfork's Ryan Dombal continues, "The album — along with its excellent deluxe tracks — has one of the world's biggest stars exploring her talent in ways few could've predicted, which is always exciting."

*the Associated Press review of 4
"Beyoncé — just a few months shy of 30 — offers a bewitching blend of ballads and midtempo grooves that show a maturation in the singer's sound. She strips away the much of the musical pyrotechnics that have anchored some of her biggest solo jams for an album more heavy on ballads, and danceable hits that charm, instead of strong-arm, their way into your psyche."

*the Rolling Stone review of 4
"While her first three solo albums were full of blockbuster jams, 4 is a more relaxed, personal set that emphasizes ballads over bangers and showcases the singer’s nuances; it’s very much the sort of album a pop star makes when she doesn’t feel like she has anything to prove."

Beyonce With Piers Morgan On CNN
On June 27,Beyoncé let it spill in her taping with Piers Morgan today that she didn't yet have a copy of her new album, 4.
