The first two songs from Beyoncé's forthcoming I Am... have hit the interweb. First up is the video for midtempo "If I Were a Boy", in which Beyoncé fantasizes about what a relationship might be like from the other side of the gender line. Starting off with some spoken words "Intimacy...commitment...honestly..." suggesting that this is a "big issue" kind of song, the story finds Beyoncé as a tough cop in a questionably revealing uniform taking down bad guys and kicking it with her co-workers and paying too little attention to her lover. And then there's a twist.Video:> Beyoncé: "If I Were a Boy"Then there's the leaked "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)". Pop and hip-hop tracks that combine simple, memorable hooks with unusual, percussion-driven production have been the surest route for years now to combining commercial and critical success. Beyoncé has been right there, riding Swizz Beatz's, uh, beats on B'Day's "Upgrade U" and "Ring the Alarm". "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", which rings the alarm for the institution of marriage, this time with "Umbrella" man Terius "The-Dream" Nash among the writer/producers. Eighth-note handclaps and Rainforest Café squeaks 'n' yelps back up vwerping synths and Beyoncé's insistent, catchy oh-oh-ohs. Move over, "to the left, to the left": "If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it." But then she turns around and says worldly things aren't for her, so this isn't just a materialist thing; it's love L-U-V. Oh yeah, and her lip gloss is poppin'.[from I Am...; due 11/18/08 on Columbia]
