Beyoncé channels Prince on the funky “Schoolin’ Life,” one of three additional songs included on the deluxe edition of her new album 4, available June 28 exclusively at Target. Written and produced by The-Dream, Professor B teaches a lesson about life on the ’80s-inspired beat. Class is in session.

this song is pretty decent.

it doesn't have a catchy hook

I agree, despite beyonce's wailing I really like it tbh. The Dream has been doing a pretty good job.

hmmm I don't like it very much, I like the standard edition tracks alot though, for a Bey throwback I just adore Love On Top.

this song just shows beyonce trying to hard, and she is singing hard again.

why can't she just sing without it sounding too hard. This song would be perfect for whitney's houston's OLD voice.

i think bey tries to over compensate for her mediocrity

I like her vocals on this new album. I'm not really a fan. But U can't deny she is the hardest working female in entertainment. I also like the two Prince inspired tunes. She may grow on me. lol

Love the lyrics on this one actually.

Instantly knew this was The-Dream's production, so of course it's Prince influenced.

I like this more than some of the other songs on 4 though.
