Beyonce Surprises Fans; Streams New Material

posted in: Music News

Pop diva Beyonce has returned to the pop music world after spending more than a year away.

Hitting the net yesterday afternoon via Beyonce’s official Soundcloud account, “Bow Down / I Been On” is one (or two) new track(s) from Bey that are rumored to have been produced by “N*ggas In Paris” beatmaker Hit-Boy. The stream feels more like two separate ideas mashed together, but at this time it is unclear whether or not that is the case.

So what can fans expect from Beyonce’s return? Something new feels to be the most fitting answer. “Bow Down” offers an RnB-like ode to Bey’s reign over the female pop world, while “I Been On” is filled with Beyonce rapping (yes, rapping) while distorting her vocals with the same slo-mo effect A$AP Rocky has been riding over the last year. You can stream the material below.

Beyonce has not announced plans to release a new album or single, but the release of this stream leads us to believe something special is on the way. Stay tuned.
