Beyoncé is celebrating 'B'Day' with her first new song in two years, ‘Morning Dew (Donk)’
New track launches 60-day countdown to 'B'Day' 20th anniversary edition.
About This Track
Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar navigate the Nile as metaphor for risk, surrender and self-discovery on this slow R&B number. The river becomes a space of liberation and danger at once; swimming its length without turning back, plunging into currents that might cost a life, diving without precaution. The track luxuriates in contradiction: relaxation and threat, motion without direction, the exotic and the rooted. A central pun anchors the second half. "I'm in denial, deep in denial / I'm in the Nile, deep in denial" collapses the river into a state of mind, one where Beyoncé claims her heritage and sensuality with defiant ease. She speaks of Nubian beauty, of being "darker the berry, sweeter the fruit", of tending and drowning in youth. The song moves between vulnerability and swagger, between the question of where she's going and the certainty that she'll get there in stride.

New track launches 60-day countdown to 'B'Day' 20th anniversary edition.

We’ve all agreed that Beyoncé can do whatever she wants by now, right? Over the course of a flawless 30-year career, she’s been a member of one of the most influential pop groups of all time before releasing a run of boundary-pushing solo albums alongside game-changing live performances. She’s more than earnt the right for complete creative freedom and she repeatedly does things her own way tonight at the first of five sold-out stadium shows at London’s Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

The singer-songwriter continued to sweep major awards for her recent work.

The 65th Grammy Awards show is set to air on February 5th.
The greatest DJ set you'll ever hear from the greatest pop star of the modern age.

The record will feature 16 tracks, including recent single 'Break My Soul'.
