October 11th, 2008 | Posted in Music News | Print This Article

R&B superstar Beyonce Knowles has dropped a music video in support of her first single “If I Were a Boy”. Directed by Jake Nava, the music video begins with Beyonce playing a hot cop who switches parts with her in-video husband. “It’s kind of like ‘Freaky Friday’,” she says speaking of the concept behind the music video.

“In the beginning of the video, my husband makes me breakfast and he’s excited about it, and I kind of don’t have time to eat,” the singer says. “As a police officer, I have a male partner and the video goes through our days. My husband’s at work and has attractive girls flirting with him but he declines their advances. I have a guy flirting with me, and I flirt back.”

“It’s about all of the little things that mean so much in a relationship. At the end of the clip, you realize that I was acting out his life and it all starts over again,” the singer explains further. “He was a cop and everything that happened was really him doing the same thing to me.”

“If I Were a Boy” is the lead single off Beyonce’s upcoming third major studio album, “I Am…”, which is scheduled to be released on November 18th, 2008. A world tour for the album has been announced. She will hit the road in the Spring of 2009 starting with international dates in Asia, Australia, Mexico, Europe, and United Kingdom before closing the tour in late Summer with shows in North America.
