Beyonce ‘bares all’ on album cover

The new album from singing star Beyonce may soon be on the wish-list of many single soldiers, as the pop beauty has gone bra-free on the record's cover.

An open furry gilet is all that the Crazy in Love performer has chosen to hide her upper body in the provocative shot, which just manages to protect her modesty.

The cover is for her new album 4 – songs from which fans may be likely to hear when the star headlines this year's Glastonbury festival along with Coldplay and Irish rockers U2.

"With unkempt blonde locks tumbling over her shoulders and her eyes caked in make-up, the image on the front of 4 is her raciest artwork yet," the Sun noted.

The sexy image has been released at the same time as a promotional clip for Beyonce's single Run the World (Girls) – a sultry video that features a Mad Max-style world.
