In the video which is set for a June 28th release, Beyonce begins dancing with her shoulders, representing an “army” of women behind her as they stand before troops of men who watch closely. The “battle” is peaceful as Beyonce, dancing in a trio of women, makes moves we will soon see take YouTube by storm. The army of men stand astonished as Beyonce triumphs. They are upset that they cannot defend themselves. They are defeated.
Along with passionate moves, and making worldly fashion statements, Beyonce also maintained piercing facial expressions throughout the video. At the end of each refrain, the queen of pop belts “Girls” with vengeance and a passion like no other.
“Run The World (Girls)” makes it known that this may be a man’s world – but it is nothing without a woman’s touch and sense of style.
In a recent interview with Billboard, the singer said she worked with the band of afrobeat legend Fela Kuti to gain new inspiration for her music, the first in a laundry list of influences for "4."
"I also found a lot of inspiration in '90s R&B; Earth, Wind & Fire; DeBarge; Lionel Richie; Teena Marie," she said, beginning her eclectic list. "I listened to a lot of Jackson 5 and New Edition, but also Adele, Florence the Machine, and Prince. Add in my hip-hop influences, and you can hear how broad it is. I also gave myself more freedom to really belt out some songs, and bring soul singing back."
