Watch Beyoncé’s new ‘7/11’ video
The superstar singer has just released a video for her dance-happy new song
What's up with Beyoncé?
On Wednesday, she released (or someone, perhaps her, leaked) two new songs, "7/11" and "Ring Off," to preview next week's release of a deluxe version of her 2013 album, "Beyoncé." Her web site currently has portions of both songs, presumably to generate buzz for next week's release.
On Friday, she released what appears to be a low-budget video of "7/11." Beyoncé being Beyoncé, her low-budget video appears to have been filmed in a high-rise penthouse, but why quibble over details?
A dance-happy song, "7/11" boasts such happy-go-lucky lyrics as: "Foot down," "hands up," "shoulders sideways," "legs movin' side to side," "clap, clap, clap like you don't care" and "smack that, clap, clap, clap like you don't care." It's the most pro-clap song we can recall in years.
"7/11" concludes with Beyoncé boasting: "I'm fresher than you, fresher than you."
That, no doubt, she very likely is. But enough clap talk. Here for your viewing pleasure is Beyoncé's new video.
