"I wanted to do something refreshing and different,”  

“So I mixed genres and drew inspiration from touring, traveling, watching rock bands, and attending festivals… I was like a mad scientist, putting lots of different songs together.”

She premiered 5 tracks from the upcoming record, which she recently announced is entitled '4', and also debuted the 'Run The World (Girls)' video in full. Watch the 60-second teaser for it below:
