Beyonce has a few interesting tricks up her sleeve for her new album “4”, which will be released June 28th, 2011. For the album cut “Party” which features rapper Andre 3000 the sample used is from the 1985 classic hit, “La di da di” from the legends of hip hop (Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh) . Other tidbits on “4” include, an incorporation of the R&B quartet Boys II Men’s “Uhh Ahh” in a single titled “Countdown”, we can expect to hear the backwards number count 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 in that particular song. The Diane Warren penned tune which is being said to be a career defining song “I was here” is certainly shaping up to be one of the highlight’s on “4”. Also making the cut are the industries latest hit maker Ester Dean and new comer Frank Ocean.
