 4 (Album) (Music)
comment
4 is the fourth studio album by American singer Beyoncé. It was released on June 24, 2011.This album sees Beyoncé making a return to her R&B roots after I Am... Sasha Fierce's foray into electropop and adult contemporary. At the time, this was a big deal. EDM and other electronic and dance-oriented forms of pop music had become commonplace.

comment
Breaking Old Trends: After three albums of Contemporary R&B/Pop with a strong Hip-Hop influence, this album leans harder into traditional R&B and Soul, is very ballad-heavy, and has several mid-tempo songs. The only high-energy dance songs are "Countdown," "End of Time," and "Run The World (Girls)".

Arc Number: The number four holds great importance to Beyoncé, so she made sure to reflect that with the album's title; she was born on September 4th, her mother Tina Knowles was born on January 4th, her husband Jay-Z was born on December 4th, she was married to Jay-Z on April 4th (4/4), Destiny's Child started with four members, you get the idea. Her daughter Blue Ivy was born sometime after this album cycle, and is named after the number four, as in the Roman numeral IV.

comment
Mood Whiplash: 4 is a mostly happy album about love. "I Was Here" shifts the tone of the album to one that is much more serious and reflective than previous tracks. It doesn't help that it is the Album Closure on the expanded edition, leaving the listener on a somber note. "Run the World (Girls)" and "Start Over" are this to lesser extents.
