Both the new singles from the upcoming deluxe release of Beyoncé’s self-titled album have already hit the web.
In “7/11,” an auto-tuned Bey lays down a commanding, mantra-like rap over a warped beat, while “Ring Off” delivers a completely different vibe. An ode to her mother, “Ring Off” is also an emotional recap of Mama Knowles’ recent divorce: “You used to dress and fix your hair/ Then you’d smile through your tears/ In the mirror you would stare and say a prayer.”
For those who can’t wait for the platinum edition of Beyoncé’s latest album, the two bangers can be streamed here.
