Beyonce records 72 songs for her record label to choose from for her next cd

The singer stunned record label staff by delivering 72 tracks to them and asked them to sift through the mountain of finished material and decide which songs should be in her next album, titled 4. The new album has no official release date yet, but is expected to hit shops in the next couple of months.

And Beyonce has hinted that some of the tracks have an Afrobeat flavour. She revealed: "I started off being inspired by FELA KUTI." Way to go!
