Her record label is reported to ship 1 million copies of her new album ‘4′ to outlets before its release in two weeks time, now Beyonce has taken to her Facebook page to discuss her feelings surrounding the untimely surfacing of the LP on the net yesterday.

Find out what Miss Southern Supreme said below…

‘“My music was leaked and while this is not how I wanted to present my new songs, I appreciate the positive response from my fans.When I record music I always think about my fans singing every note and dancing to every beat. I make music to make people happy and I appreciate that everyone has been so anxious to hear my new songs.”

Though the unexpected online surfacing of the release will fall into the bad news category for the 16 time Grammy winner, it is worth noting that her last LP ‘I Am’ also suffered the same fate weeks before its release and still went onto exceed commercial expectations globally.

With legions of fans just waiting to show their support of the record on June 28th, there is no doubt that ‘4′ will become the chart success it is destined to be.For if any of her previous work is anything to go by, the performer will deliver a project worthy of high praise, commercially and critically.

I'm really digging "Love on Top" and no I haven't heard the album yet. Probably my favorite song by Bey yet, next to "Me, Myself, and I". She brought it on that cut.

You can find it in a second on twitter. so far reactions are very bad.

I'm shocked it leaked over two weeks early.

[Edited 6/7/11 11:17am]

When the artist's mgmt team arranges for the CD to appear on the internet it is not a leak!

This is just more drummed up publicity for a publicity addicted artist!

Yes LORD knows a 3-week-early leak of an entire album would work so well to drum up publicity and generate sales.

Please. NO label wants to mass distribute an entire body of work away for free.

And "publicity addicted artist" that might work if Beyoncé were actually bothering to do some promotion for this album. Bitch still hasn't said the word "four".

That is her two best songs....

I'd say that the two hit songs are -

I Care (my favorite so far)

Party

I care is a strong song too. I love the end, when she uses her head voice(her highest vocal register) at the end. Us Bey fans say that she should use it more so it's great that she did it there.

The actual album.

yeah the album is so much better than anything she has done prior because there really doesnt seem to be a "chart aim or focus" its a little more raw than usual, but not a fake kind of raw, so like someone posted prior its a B- record some stronger cuts than usual, a bit less filler, and not too much of the BS that plagued her other records.

As for the leak, its her own label and her team that did it so i cant comment on leaks cause artists MOST of the time do it themselves

I’m scared to listen girls killed this album for me and what is the exact release date ? I’ll check it out then.

I don't know where to hear it, can you help me please?

For me it's easiest to find by searching twitter.

I Care is officilly my favorite song, I love her singing along to the guitar solo!

the album is cool.

Too much oversinging though. some of the songs she's straining wayyy to much and forcing her force. some of the grunts and growls are wayy overdone

yeah, she doesn't understand the difference between singing loud versus singing with power.

ITs like if she was to sing a duet with whitney in whitney's prime, beyonce would sound a hot mess.

Even though I'd expected her to follow up on I Am... and not so much Sasha Fierce, "Run the World (Girls)" killed that notion for me, so I was geared up for a bunch of uptempos. However... that's not what we got. In the least. So I was a bit caught off guard.

For about two seconds.

DEAD!

I still don't know if I want to buy this or not

Jill Scott and Joss Stone are releasing albums in later this month, too so I think I'll make love to those and then see about Beyoncé's
