Boots, aka Jordy Asher, the mystery man behind a large majority of the production of Beyonce's self-titled album, has been casually releasing solo tracks from his upcoming mixtape, "WinterSpringSummerFall," over the past few months. Today, Boots dropped the album's final track, "Dreams," which sees him reconnecting with Bey for a song that is nothing short of magical.



If the smooth lovin' of this reunion weren't enough to steal your heart, then the fact that all profits from this song will benefit Day One, a New York City-based nonprofit dedicated to the prevention of teen dating violence surely will.

"The idea behind the mixtape was to release things in a different way than everybody else does," Boots said. "When Beyonce and I did the song together we started talking about, 'Well, what could we do with this?' Obviously we wanted to put it on the mixtape, but we decided there was an opportunity here that we didn’t want to miss. I already get messages from people all the time saying, 'I’ll buy your album! I don’t even care!' even though it’s going to be free. Two things that are very important to me are education and women’s rights, and the moment my friend sent to me it made the most sense and was the most important thing to me that I had come across. If people knew ... if there was more public knowledge about the organizations like Day One and the places that people could go, it would stop those situations from occurring, or reoccurring."

French producer Monsieur Adi gives two of Beyoncé’s tracks the electro house treatment exclusively for Out.com.

Adi, who first gained notice for his remixes of Ellie Goulding, was handpicked by Beyoncé to serve as the official DJ of the European leg of The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. The 27-year-old musician opened every show but one, setting the tone for each live concert experience.

Listen to his versions of the infectious “Blow” and “XO,” which is transformed into a club-friendly power pop ballad.

Beyonce is currently enjoying her biggest hit in five years with Jay Z-assisted “Drunk In Love”, which recently hit No. 1 on Rhythmic Songs, but it looks like Mrs. Carter is already thinking about her next single. Yesterday (February 19) a radio edit of bedroom anthem “Partition” surfaced online, which suggests she’s about the make the airwaves a much sexier place in the imminent future.

The problem is that there’s no official confirmation. Bey doesn’t play the press release game anymore and her label probably doesn’t know what she’s up to anyway. The edit certainly sounds slick enough to be authentic but I’d be surprised if she hacks “Partition” down to a measly three minutes. I guess we won’t know for sure until it hits iTunes.

As for the selection of “Partition” as single number three? Well, its highly explicit nature — for non-Hive this is the song in which Beyonce memorably laments “he Monica Lewinsky‘d all on my gown” — makes it an uneasy fit for pop radio but it’s already climbing the Billboard Hot 100 due to streaming and has strong download sales. Listen to the purported radio edit below.

New remixes of "Drunk in Love" keep on coming! This time T.I. and The Weeknd released their takes on the track. Listen below.

Kanye West, Diplo and Noel “Detail” Fisher (the song producer) released their remixes of "Drunk in Love"! Listen to the tracks and watch a short commentary from Detail below.

With the release of her new album, Beyoncé created a special radio station on iTunes Radio! The playlist features some of her favorite songs, as well as tunes from her new record with short introductions. You can listen to the radio here or read the transcript below.

Pretty Hurts: "Pretty Hurts was such an incredible song,it's really difficult to find a song with such a strong message that doesn't feel preachy & Sia is such a genius. The second I heard the song,I'm like I have to sing this song. I don't care how hard I have to fight for this song,this is my song! (laughs) I immediately saw the vision & I thought about pageants & I thought about the most humiliating,judgmental place you can be as a woman. I feel like sometimes the world is a big contest,we're all being judged. I wanted to capture how humiliating & insecure that makes you feel. Melina was able to capture that emotion & capture the extremes we feel we have to go to to please the people that judge us. I knew from the moment that I recorded the song that she was the person that I wanted to bring the visual to life."

Beyonce has unveiled her latest power ballad online.

New song 'Rise Up' is taken from 'Epic', the upcoming animated film to which Beyonce lends her spoken voice to as character Queen Tara.

It's a shift from her recent high-adrenaline tracks such as 'Grown Woman', but the lyrics still champions girl-power.

Whether 'Rise Up' - co-written by Sia and produced by Hit-Boy and Chase N. Cashe - will appear on Beyonce's new album is, of course, yet to be seen.

Take a listen to the positive song below.

When Kelly Rowland premiered her newest song "You've Changed," she wanted fans know that things are different. And mainly, it's the fact that she's not performing under Destiny's Child anymore; it's Kelly... featuring Beyoncé and Michelle Williams.

It's all part of a comeback that's launching her into a judges' seat on the "X Factor," on a tour with The-Dream and readying her upcoming Talk a Good Game album. The song, which debuted Monday on Blis FM, puts Rowland on top with sisters Michelle and Bey at her side.

"Ladies, y'all wanna do it again?" she asks, as the three spiral their voices in an intricate harmony. A bouncy hip-hop beat comes in and the trio takes turns swapping verses, singing about a love that they're finally letting go — with a pile of clichés. "I can say I'm done in a million ways, but let's not beat around the bush, let's cut to the chase. If love was a game, you just lost," they belt out.

"You've Changed" will get an official release June 4, and Talk a Good Game, with production by The-Dream and cameos from Pharrell and Wiz Khalifa, drops June 18.

The-Dream premiered his new song with Beyoncé and 2 Chainz called "Turnt" on his Vevo account. Listen to it below!

Song review from Popcart.co.uk:

At the end of the film, ‘Rise Up’ the track which Beyoncé has recorded for the soundtrack begins – thankfully, there’s no waiting around for it to appear unlike was the case with ‘Oz The Great And Powerful‘. Anyway, ‘Rise Up’ is a mid-tempo, acoustic track that is led with the guitar during the verses. There are other elements deployed during the chorus but these were difficult to trace over the hustle of the cinema screen reawakening.

Lyrically, the track matches the overarching themes of the movie with references to being brave and strong despite adversity. Beyoncé‘s delivery is mostly soft and restrained and builds to a crescendo with the final line “we will rise” before the track fades out with around thirty seconds of acoustic guitar led instrumental. It feels grand and ambitious, there is that familiar, timeless quality that accompanies songs that are the themes to blockbusting films. The track was co-written by Beyoncé and the beyond incredible Sia. It is glorious and unmistakably Sia in terms of structure and the overarching sound, whilst Beyonce’s vocal performance owns and dominates the song entirely – it is powerful, emotive and offers encouragement.

'Dangerously In Love' and 'Crazy In Love' made chart history when both album and single simultaneously hit No 1 in the US and the UK (which hadn't happened since 1983!) Since then Beyonce has kicked music asre as Sasha Feirce, and now as MRS CARTER.
