...Or should I say, "Aaaaaaaaaaat Laaaaaaaaast!" After two years of obsessive anticipation, a hint of hope has presented itself. The Queen has returned. Considering today is Easter, Beyonce's return is a beautiful allusion to Jesus's resurrection--no blasphemy intended, I know B isn't X. But anyway, a few days ago a new Beyonce song leaked into the Internet: "Who Run the World (Girls)." At first the song was somewhat disappointing, entertaining of course, but it didn't showcase her incredible voice. Also she bought the music from a preexisting dance song, and I'm not huge on unoriginality or "sampling" (although this is not sampling, she literally took the entire dance song as-is, and sang over it.). I, at this point having no idea or assumption that a new album was on the way, thought to myself "I hope this is just some messing-around-experimenting-with-new-sound kind of thing and not representative of her next album." But it, of course, grew on me anyway and now I like it. This song was released officially some two days later, whether it was already planned to release then or if they had to release it because the song was already running on the internet, I don't know; but it was released as the opening single to Beyonce's NEW UPCOMING ALBUM.
WHAAAAT????! says I.

Yes! So Beyonce--who is for some reason secretive about everything, never even mentioning that she had even begun to plan to think about planning to begin to think about beginning thinking about songs to plan to think about maybe recording--has already finished recording her entire album, which is set to release some time in June, which is aMAAAAAziiinng.
Anyway I have high hopes for this album. I won't hate the radio anymore because it'll be full of B. I can fill the last few megabytes of iPod space. And there had better be lots of songs with those incredible long vibrato "YOOoooOOooOOOoooOOooooOOoooOOOoooOOOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOUUU" notes.
And Grammys. lots and lots of Grammys. By the way erryone, she (by the age of 28) won the 3rd most grammys of any woman in the world ever of all time. Jus saying. Annnywaaays.
And lastly. New album=New tour. Which means I shall be going. BFFs invited.
