Check out this new promotional shot for for Beyonce‘s eagerly anticipated ‘4’ LP. Preceded by singles ‘Run The World (Girls)’ and ‘Best Thing I Never Had’, the album is set for lift-off just three weeks from now (June 28th).

Randomness: Surely I can’t be the only one who’s a little alarmed by how soon the project’s release has come around. Yes, the tide is better now (see: Billboard performance, Idol, and great reception of ‘Best Thing I Never Had’). However it’s impossible to ignore the shaky start and ultimate poor charting of ‘Run The World (Girls)’.

Given B’s status, there is a certain sales expectation the masses will no doubt hold her to. Whether a June release, given the drama, will allow for that will be interesting to see.
