NEW LEAK: Beyonce “4″ (Deluxe Edition)

Today, the Deluxe Edition of Beyoncé’s fourth record appropriately titled, 4 leaked all over the internet. I have spent the last few weeks listening (ON REPEAT) to the first 12 songs on this record. Its become a religious sanctity for me. I know that the general masses are NOT getting this and that is ok in my book. This is not a record for the traditional “POP” consumer, but it IS a record for people who can appreciate good, artistic, Pop R&B. It has been a long time coming and I am glad that Queen B has brought it to the table. There were rumors of the label pulling it and recording tracks for a later date and so on… thank god its coming out next week and I hope and pray that everyone buys a copy come Tuesday, June 28th.

The bonus tracks are just as neuvo as the other 12 tracks on the standard edition. They are a hardcore incarnate of Prince’s funk-r&b style and somewhat reminds me of his own experimental time before his Lovesexy release with his ridiculously brilliant, Black Album.
