June 1, 201114 yr Beyoncé Pleases Her Fans and Returns To Classic Form On "Best Thing I Never Had" By Bill Lamb, About.com Guide June 1, 2011 Many of Beyoncé's legion of fans are breathing a big sigh of relief this morning. The more experimental side of her that brought us "Run the World (Girls)", as well as past singles like "Ring the Alarm" and "Diva," has now stepped out of the spotlight in favor of what sounds like a surefire major hit. On the new midtempo single "Best Thing I Never Had," Beyoncé tells a would-be lover exactly how things stand even closing the song with, "I bet it sucks to be you right now." It is outstanding to hear Beyoncé experiment and push her fans and critics in new directions, and then it is also always exhilarating to hear her return to a comfort zone. Look for "Best Thing I Never Had" to return Beyoncé to the upper reaches of pop singles charts this summer. The album 4 hits stores in four weeks June 28, 2011.

June 2, 201114 yr LOL Jamie you take everything so seriously when it comes to Beyoncé. Although I'm still enjoying this I'm playing Halo right now which is so many leagues better that it's barely even funny. The problem with the new material is that none of it sounds big enough for Beyoncé. With a voice like hers the material should be huge and epic and stadium-happy.
June 2, 201114 yr LOL Jamie you take everything so seriously when it comes to Beyoncé. I'm the moderator of this forum, I'm supposed to take things seriously. :teresa:
June 2, 201114 yr I like it. But I'm not getting the whole 'Beyonce back on form' vibe that everyone seems to be saying about it. Bit Beyonce by numbers perhaps. I actually think I still prefer Run The World truth be told.
June 8, 201114 yr Any news on UK release date? C-listed on Radio 1 this week so hopefully this can be a bigger hit, and they are not doing to On Air/On Sale strategy this time round, which is a good move as it certainly hindered Run The World.
