A snippet of two new Beyoncé songs have hit the Internet. Today (Nov. 19), five days before the platinum edition of Beyoncé's self-titled album, the new tracks "7/11" and "Ring Off" have partially leaked, and the songs are just as epic as one would expect from the "***Flawless" singer.
"7/11" arrived online first this morning, with Beyoncé pulling nothing but attitude and pounding her way to the dancefloor. Against a raucous, heavy bass beat, Queen Bey declares that she will "Put my foot down, my hands up / Flexin' while my hands up," and it's hard to not immediately buy what she's putting down... or else. She's demanding and her most #bossy self, and that's only in 30 seconds.
"Ring Off," meanwhile, finds the happily married wife to Jay Z and mother to Blue Ivy contemplating a life where her man isn't quite so faithful. Revenge seethes through this anthem, which features a midtempo beat and a melody not wholly unlike the semi-released track "Standing on the Sun."
"I got what you said, I'm beautiful / I wish it didn't hurt at all / I don't know how I got here / I was once the one who had us hard / Till you had enough and you took that ring off / Took that ring off / So tired of the lies and trying, fighting, crying / You took that ring off," Beyoncé sings with noted determination in her voice.
"7/11" and "Ring Off" are new singles from the upcoming platinum edition of Beyoncé's self-titled 2013 album. The extended edition of her surprise LP will be released on Monday, Nov. 24. In addition to the new tracks, the platinum edition will also come with four remixes, a live DVD and a 2015 calendar.
