Beyonce unleashed her newest video for "Run the World (Girls)" on Wednesday during "American Idol." The song is off her upcoming album titled "4" and is set for release on June 28.
The video, filmed in Los Angeles and the Mojave Desert, features a dance team from Africa, according to MTV News, and Beyonce was up to the challenge of learning their moves.
"We prepared a lot for it. We had seen something on YouTube; we had seen these three guys from Africa, this Mozambique African dance troupe ... we were like, 'Wow, this is an amazing movement,'" Beyonce's choreographer, Frank Gaston Jr., told the music channel.
He adds, "I feel like we really nailed it and, again, my hats off to the Tofo Tofo guys [from Africa], 'cause none of us could imitate that."
The video was directed by Francis Lawrence, who helmed films like "I Am Legend" and "Water for Elephants," and includes a cast of over 200 dancers and exotic animals.
The singer's new album was recorded over the span of a year, according to a press release from Beyonce's record label, Columbia Records. "The title signifies not only the artist's fourth solo offering and the day of her birth but it is also a personal gift to her fans," the press release said. "For over one year now her fans around the world took to their social media pages urging her to name the album for her special number. "
