Breaking News: Beyonce Released Her First New Song From Upcoming Album

This literally just happened.  On her SoundCloud account, Beyonce has just released her first new song in anticipation of her latest album, which is due out sometime this year.  The song is called "Bow Down/I Been On.  I haven't even listened to it more than once, but we wanted to share this with the fans of Taking Notes as soon as possible.  After just one listen, I don't have a good feeling about "Bow Down."  It is very different from the Modern R&B genre that Beyonce usually sings.  Right now, I'm really disappointed.  We might edit this post tomorrow with a full Song of the Day-Style review of this song.  

This is what I know so far:

The artwork for this single was posted on Beyonce's Instagram account.  We also know that it was produced by Hit-Boy.  He is the man behind some of the biggest songs in the mainstream music industry right now.  He has worked with Beyonce's husband, Jay-Z, on his hit song "N****** in Paris" with Kanye West.  The song is definitely more risqué than the public image she has built due to her appearances singing the national anthem and performing at the Super Bowl. 

All we are trying to do right now is share this exciting new music with all of our readers.  We have embedded the SoundCloud track in this article so you can tell us your opinion of new song.  Do you like it?  Does this song make you excited for her upcoming album release?  Let us know everything in the comment section below!!

The 20/20 Experience - Justin Timberlake

In case you didn't know, this album does not release to the general public until March 19th.  However, we at Taking Notes have gotten our hands on a copy before its scheduled release date!  Our review won't go live until sometime around the scheduled release date.  This is because we would like to listen to the official release also.  For all we know, the copy we received may be an early press release that contains some important differences from the version you will all hear.  We are expecting to have an exciting couple of weeks here at TNMR, so stay tuned.  I know that is a lot to ask after our  unannounced periods of inactivity (We will explain all of that nonsense soon).

I'm not going to reveal too much here, but we are planning on working some of the biggest names in the music industry in the next few months.  This list of artists include Taylor Swift, Passion Pit, and Eric Clapton.  The full list, with dates, will be announced this week.  

Stay tuned for a great review of the most anticipated album of the year! This is the place where you will find the full length review, as soon as it is published.
