Beyonce dons a garter, gets steamy in new music video for '1 + 1'

Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z rarely talk about their relationship in interviews, but it seems that the singer is sending a message to the rapper in her new music video, which she also directed.

Beyonce debuted the music video for her single, "1 + 1" on Friday and in the video, the singer dons a garter belt and is shown tearing-up while singing about the one she loves.

Beyonce married rapper Jay-Z on April 4, 2008, but the ceremony was so secret that no photos or video from the event were released. The couple got married with a close circle of 40 friends and family members after dating for six years.

The 29-year-old singer first released "1 + 1" as a promo single in May, after performing it during the "American Idol" finale.

Beyonce's fourth album "4" hit stores on June 28 and the Grammy-winner explained the title in a recent interview on "Good Morning America."

"My birthday is on the 4th, my mother's birthday on the 4th, my husband's birthday is on the 4th, I got married on the 4th - it's just a number that keeps coming around and this is my fourth album," she said. "A lot of the fans out there today named the album. I saw on Twitter and I saw on Facebook and when I ran into some of the fans, they were like, 'We're waiting for '4,' so I said, 'All right ya'll, ya'll can name the record, here we go."

Beyonce's last album, "I Am... Sasha Fierce," was released in 2008 and earned the singer six Grammy Awards, the most Grammys ever won by a female artist in one night. Beyonce has sold more than 75 million records and earned 16 Grammy Awards in her career - including 13 as a solo artist and three as a member of Destiny's Child.

In May, she was honored with the Millennium Award at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards.

In June 2010, Knowles was ranked second on Forbes list of the 100 Most Powerful and Influential celebrities in the world and first on its list of the Most Powerful and Influential musicians.

It was announced on Thursday that Beyonce would be performing at the MTV Video Music Awards, which are set to air live Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
