♫ NEW MUSIC: BEYONCE - “IF I WERE A BOY” & “SINGLE LADIES”
Wednesday, October 8, 2008

The much anticipated singles from Beyonce have finally leaked - “If I Were A Boy” in tagged form, and the uptempo dance track, “Single Ladies.” The two singles are set to impact radio next Tuesday, while Beyonce’s third project titled I Am… will drop November 18th.
“If I Were A Boy” is a pop ballad, which finds Beyonce in a sweet spot vocally, and is produced by Toby Cad (”Big Girls Don’t Cry” for Fergie), while the Tricky Stewart and The Dream-produced “Single Ladies” feels more like “Get Me Bodied,” and will be service to urban radio. I must admit, this new material has me quite excited, as well as the statements that have been released by producers and Beyonce herself. Can’t wait to see what Sean, Rodney and Timbaland have done for her.
Check out Beyonce’s MySpace and stay locked to CL for more updates on Bey’s project!

i DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOU PEOPLE.
IF I WERE A BOY WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT I CAN SEE WILL BE A MASSIVE HIT. WITH I WERE A BOY, BEYONCE IS TRYING TO EXPAND HER FAN BASE.
WHEREAS SINGLE LADIES IS A SONG THAT WILL BE MARKETED TO THOSE WHO LIKE HIP HOP AND FOR PEOPLE AT THE CLUBS.
I BELIEVE SHE IS SLOWLY YET SURELY TRANSITIONING ON US. BUT SHE HAS TO BRING HER OLD FANS WITH HER ALONG THE WAY.
HONESTLY, I LIKE BOTH OF THE SONGS. ONE IS PLAYFUL AND VERY UNIQUE, WHILE THE OTHER IS MORE EMOTIONAL AND HAS A LOT OF DEPTH.

Ummm, that “If I Were a Boy” song is a remake. Another artist wrote and performed it first. Bey is just doing a cover.

All you stans who think that because “Single Ladies” sounds like “Get me bodied” it will do well. Reality check, even tho we heard “get me bodied” in all the clubs, it only reached #68 on the billboard hot 100, the lowest charting single from Bday. O no O no O no O no no!

B I LUV THE LOOK AND THE SOUND. I HAVE TO GIVE IT TO U. EVERYTIME U COME OUT U BRING SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE TO THE INDUSTRY. ONLY REAL ARTIST COULD TRUELY UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOUR ABOUT.
I SPEAK FOR MYSELF WHEN I SAY I AINT TRYNA HEAR THE SAME STUFF OUT EVERYTIME A NEW ARTIST COMES OUT. I WANA HEAR SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT’S WHAT SHOWS YOUR TRUE TALENT. WHEN YOU CAN SING AND MASTER ANY STYLE OF MUSIC AND MAKE IT SUCCESSFUL. I’M NOT A HATER SO I’M NOT GONE COMMENT ON ARTIST NOR COMPARE BECAUSE TRUTH IS WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS WITH DIFFERENT STYLES AND WAYS OD DOING WHAT WE DO. BUT I WILL TELL ALL THE HATAS TO LEAVE U AND RIHANNA ALONE LET THEM LIVE. AND HALF OF YALL TALKIN BOUT YOU ALL DON’T LIKE IT. WILL LEARN TO LUV IT AS HER ALBUM RELEASE DRAWS CLOSER AS U ALL DID HER LAST ALBUM.
LUV U B YOU ARE BY FAR ONE OF THE MOST TALENT WOMEN OUT TODAY.

There is buzz that CIARA and BRITNEY SPEARS will be doing a U.S. tour together promoting both albums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They both fall under the Zomba Music Group. The Zomba Group portfolio are labels like Verity Records, La Face (ciara label) and Jive Records(brintney label).
UH O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it’s amazing how many ppl take out the time to come and hate on bee she apparently is doing something right to have sooo many haters & to get right at 500 comments on one post..whether u like her music or beyonce the person she does her thing regardless of how many haters she has and she’s going to move big numbers on this album as she always does and sell out arenas all across the country on her tour as she always does

………………………………WTH?!?!?!? I liked the first album and even Bday but I’m not feeling this at all! I normally listen to songs all the way thru but I cut Single Ladies off within seconds! Her vocals were nice as always but both singles suck! Some of the delusional ppl on here need to admit it and disliking a Beyonce song is not ‘hating’ I agree with whoever said that any other artist would have been called all kinda names for doing ”If I were a boy” but Bee will get a pass…. I have to agree with ComplexnDope *Smh*

I’ve always been a fan of B. However, these songs are just not doing it for me. I expected her to come better than that with this album. I can’t believe her. These songs are bordering on terrible. I may have to listen to them both a few dozen times to really get it, but I don’t know if I could stomach it. B come better.. I expected WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more!

she redid If I were a boy. That is a white girl song. Her name is BC Jean and she’s prolly not that much popular as Bey. BC Jean hasn’t even been out that long and bey already doing her song AND making a video. smh
single ladies is just another Get me bodied.

Sorry but these songs sound just like her previous songs. Nothing new. If I Were A Boy is Irreplacable 2 and Single Ladies is a far worse version of Get Me Bodied, with the UH OH’s from Crazy In Love. The Album title has been used by Alicia and so has the If I Were A Boy thing done by Ciara. I know Bee wants to re-gain the thrown from Rihanna but this is not the way. The singles are generic and expected from her. Please go back to the lab and get real with yourself Bee, you just might come away with some good music.

Beyonce has really did her thing. I can really relate to the lyrics the song is def FIYAH! The second song is techo club feel and it is too kewl. Anyhoo I’m ad to see beyonce return to the music spotlight I was becoming a bit bored. She spices things up and is nice to look at too.

Ciara and Rhi are lightweights compared to Sexy a** Bee. What I like about the sistah is her style is never boring to me. She is drama-free what appeals to most males and she is a hard worker unlike several of you hoodrat chicca’s on this site talkin smack. It adds up to straight jealousy. The interesting thing is you negative chica’s will never have the opportunity to experience the magnitude of achievements and success this fine sistah is accomplishing. I enjoy both of her tracks and her vocals are original and signature sound. Damn, the radio stations are playing her music all day long, must mean something she’s doing correctly. Haters make my sistah bee rich so keep comin, losers! This ignorance is one reason why most of you insecure female hoodrats are single,angry and alone. Shoot a brotha like me wouldn’t look at yall one time. Sexy Bee all day and all night!

I love both songs… If I were a boy is so unique and I love when she breaks it down on Single Ladies…The new direction is wonderful, a little bit of the old and a lil bit of new flav…. I think the album will be diverse so it doesn’t matter if one song like Single Ladies has that old Beyonce feel to it… I am excited and can’t wait for the album and I wasn’t much of a fan before!!!

For some reason I was expecting something very different?
These songs sound very predictable, especially “If I were a boy”. Very formulaic radio friendly songs. For all the hoopla with her statement, I was really expecting something that was a departure. But then again, I wasn’t exactly anxiously awaiting her new single so I guess I’m probably more indifferent than anything. I think I’ve officially outgrown her music (even though she and I are only a year or two apart), but judging by the amount of comments she’s received, she’s clearly still very relevant so I better be prepared to hear those songs on the radio, everyday allday!
BTW. I thought “Deja Vu” was a much more mature and interesting single. I know people trashed it when it came out, but I think that and “Green Light”, are probably her two best songs (aside from “Crazy in Love”) ever.

I’ve listened to both the songs again and the are really not all that! another site previewed the “if i were a boy” with a promo artist singing the song and to be honest Beyonce didn’t do anything different with the vocals and doesn’t sound any better. Both songs are really a bore and are getting worse.
Why do people have to mention Rhianna in the post? She must be a real threat

If I were a Boy like it or not will be a massive hit. This song is all what people are talking about. Look at all of these comments over two songs. Beyonce is definately doing something right for sure!!
Single ladies will take a little while to catch on, but it will be a hit!!
I am loovin the whole vibe and feel of these two songs.
