Beyonce plans her fourth solo studio album for June and plays six tracks to execs.

Sydney's Sunday Telegraph reports that Sony Australia boss Denis Handlin had an audience with Sasha Fierce herself in New York, and heard six tracks from Beyonce's forthcoming album.

Handlin told the newspaper, 'She wants to do a big tour off the back of this record, which will include Australia. These songs, the best description I can give is groundbreaking; she's gone to another level.'

Beyonce herself told MTV late last year that she is trying to mix every genre she loves ' R&B, pop, rock ' into 'my own little gumbo of music.'

The album has been in the works since 2009, and producers and songwriters on it are said to include Ne-Yo, The Dream, Symbolyc One, Diplo, Switch, and Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins.

Handlin specified that Beyonce's fourth solo album will be released in late-June this year.
