Beyonce - 1+1



It seems like only yesterday that we were subjected to the full on force of (Run The World) Girls, and truth be told, it only seemed to have fully 'arrived' with that jaw-droppingly amazing performance from the Billboard Awards.

But never one to rest on her laurels, Beyonce is already up and releasing a new single, entitled 1+1. (Yes, that's definitely '1+1', not One Plus One or any other maths/grammar variation on the matter...)

This is definitely more in If I Were A Boy territitory - all slow, chilled and ringing with guitar. And yes, Beyonce's vocal absolutely dominates as always

Then it all goes into an epic Pink Floyd-esque guitar solo. First thoughts: OH MY GOD... Is this actually happening? Beyonce sounding like Pink Floyd. It's bizarre, random, but so amazing. And I can tell that this will be a real grower too, just like Run The World was.

But then, all the best Beyonce singles always are.
