The track, entitled Bow Down/I Been On and produced by Hit-Boy, was posted on Soundcloud last night alongside artwork showing a young Bey in a beauty contest-style look, surrounded by trophies.
Speaking recently to the NME about the extended LP, Beyoncé revealed: I've been working with Pharrell and Timbaland and Justin Timberlake and Dream. We all started in the 90s, when R&B was the most important genre, and we all kind of want that back: the feeling that music gave us.
