So THIS is the way Beyonce and her writers intended her current single to sound, who knows why they changed it up, maybe sample issues? Anyway I think this version is far superior here is what writer Patrick smith had to say:

I’m both thrilled & grateful that #TeamBey decided to make our song the single and it sounds awesome! This is what the song sounded like when we first wrote it. I like this version….. The drums, from “The Show”, are what made me write to this song in the first place! Enjoy!

Anyway listen to it here

I just love this version.

HELL YES! Now THIS is nice! I have to download this and replace the album version

hmmm. there's something off about it. i can't put my finger on it though. perhaps because i've heard the song so many times. anyway, i still feel that the version which came out is more single-worthy than this.

That's exactly what I was thinking. To quote Prince, "A loop don't matter if the sample don't fit."

I like it alot better than the album version, in fact I think it'd fit alot better on the album.

Love it!

I just hate the way she sings this..... so tired & bored like going through the motions. The song is also poorly written but this mix is different so I will see if it grows on me.
