first listen: beyonce

beyonce-knowles.jpg“that bitch christina will not steal my thunder!” you know that’s what beyonce is thinking, which is probably why her new single has already turned up on the internet. (is it three months ahead of the album?)

the review over at pitchfork leans toward the forgiving, calling the track “comfy and charming in its familiarity.” perhaps. but i think they’re more accurate when they label it “passable.”

that said, this is the first listen. beyonce tends to grow on me. so in a month i will likely be squealing like a girl when i hear this on the dancefloor. cos i’m queer like that.
