Beyonce took to her Tumblr site to share her latest track (or samples of two tracks) "Bow Down / I Been On," which was able to rack up more than a million listens on SoundCloud within 24 hours. Considering she only posted the song without any more information, it is unknown whether or not it will be on her upcoming, yet-to-be-titled album. The first half of the track ("Bow Down") was produced by Hit Boy while the second half ("I Been Down") was produced by Timbaland.

Many reviews of the song have been calling it "uncharacteristically different" for the soulful songbird. Everyone is also calling it a "Must Hear" and an amazing song. The track is more of a rap and is very, very aggressive. Perhaps this is another great reason to look forward to Beyonce's upcoming "The Mrs. Carter Show" tour next month. Have a listen for yourself:

What do you think of the latest track from Beyonce? Is it as different as most reviewers are saying? Would you like for this song to be on her upcoming album? One of the best things to take from this news is that even Beyonce uses SoundCloud these days!

Mstarz recently covered a story about Rihanna's involvement with Byonce's newest album. Here is a short excerpt:

Beyonce's rumored song with Rihanna titled "Dance" is on the now famous Instagram photo taken of what is believed to be Beyonce's track list. The problem is, even if that is the track list (apparently rapper Ne-Yo thinks that is the track list), we aren't sure which of those songs will make the final list. Then again, would Beyonce really cut out a possible song collaboration with Rihanna?

"Dance (I'm Soon Over)" would be the first time either Beyonce or RiRi has been featured on the other one's album. It only makes sense that Rihanna and Beyonce eventually work together. They both have Jay-Z in common (Rihanna is managed by Jay-Z's record label Roc Nation) and are arguably the two biggest female singers in the world right now.
