Finally! Whether it’s to distract from the (apparently false) pregnancy reports, or just because Beyonce was sick of people harping about her ubiquity being paired with a dearth of new music, somebody has posted new Beyonce music. Yes, “Grown Woman” has hit the Web, and we can finally hear how it sounds in full, separated from Bey’s ultra-fierce Pepsi ad.

It’s a frenetic, globetrotting dance track with a tribal rhythm, chants and a descending bass line that sounds like a sped up version of the one in Justin Timberlake‘s “Pusher Love Girl.” A feisty Bey declares “I can do whatever I wawnt,” and that includes giving us a song that sounds nothing like what anyone was expecting. It’s almost like this track is destined to be the theme song to the next Women’s World Cup or something.

“Grown Woman” was reportedly co-written by The-Dream and produced by Timbaland. Hear it below, and then check out the song’s lyrics.

Beyonce — “Grown Woman”

Looks like Lauryn Hill isn’t the only R&B singer with tax troubles. R&B icon Mary J. Blige has just been struck with a major bill by the IRS — $3.4 million to be exact, according to TMZ. The tax service claims the singer did not file taxes from 2009-11.

As MTV points out, that’s not the only hateration and taxation for the singer. She owes an additional $901,769.65 in back taxes to the state of New Jersey, as well as outstanding debts stemming from lawsuits against her charity for failing to pay back several hefty loans.

Remember when Kanye West was photographed in a Brazilian studio with Will Smith back in February? While we were giddy at the prospect of a collaboration between the two, we figured it was just some meaningless vacation jaunt. But it turns out the Fresh Prince and Yeezus really have hit the studio together to work on some new material.

“I’ve been messing around with Kanye, we went to the studio a couple times,” Smith revealed during a press junket for After Earth. “I might get the bug. I’m not gonna do it unless I’m truly inspired, but Ye’s been pushing me a little bit.” We’re not exactly sure how new, angry Kanye would combine with He of Gettin’ Jiggy, but we want to find out. Watch Smith in the interview snippet below.

The-Dream produced Kelly Rowland‘s much-discussed single “Dirty Laundry,” and now Rowland returns the favor with her feature on Dream’s new song “Where Have You Been.”  Borrowing the classic R&B duet formula, the song (which will appear on his upcoming album IV Play) is a smooth ballad about a rocky relationship. The-Dream explained the song to Rap-Up, saying that it’s “just a signature R&B duet record, no games, no nothing, straight down the middle. It was a chance for me to bond with another friend now that I have, which is Kelly.”

In addition to making great music together, The-Dream and Kelly Rowland will be co-headlining the “Lights Out Tour” (if Kelly doesn’t bail on the whole thing for her X Factor judging duties, that is) — which kicks off on May 23, the same date that IV Play is set to drop.

Listen to “Where Have You Been” below.

Last night’s Billboard Music Awards scored a huge ratings win. Which just goes to show, if you build a bloated broadcast around the highest-selling musicians in pop, the people who made them the highest-selling musicians in pop will come. In addition to bringing in 9.4 million viewers (up 28% from last year’s 7.4M total), the Sunday (May 19) broadcast was number one in the 18-49 demographic, which is pretty much the only thing advertisers care about. Obviously Tracy Morgan was the X factor this time around.

One interesting tidbit: the demo numbers that were seen as a huge success for ABC matched the demo numbers of the recent American Idol finale, which was a ratings disaster. Context is key!

It is indeed a “Woman’s World” (see what I did there?), and it will be even more so when Cher drops her as-yet-untitled ninety-fifth studio album, now due for a September release, with a first single in June. Details have been leaking out about the LP, which is slated to feature a collaboration with Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears (amazing), and at one point was rumored to include a collab with Timbaland (eh), a duet with Lady Gaga (okay, sure, cool) and two songs written by Pink (awesome).

As is par for the course for the iconic superstar and social media ninja, Cher announced the news via Twitter.

OH ! BTW…Been spending my time between MANAGING MOM,getting ready 4 Russia & Ahhh… Oh Yes!! MY CAREER ! Single June,CD 1st wk in Sept!

— Cher(@cher) May 20, 2013

For American Idol season 12 winner Candice Glover, the fame has begun. The latest in her flurry of post-finale appearances was a performance on Live with Kelly & Michael this morning (May 20). Accompanied only by a piano, Glover sang her Idol coronation single, “I Am Beautiful,” this time sans tears. Watch her belt out the ballad up top, and stick around for a quick interview in which she explains how she made the transformation from being a singer on her first Idol attempt to being an artist by the time this third try rolled around.

Glover’s forthcoming debut album, Music Speaks, is out July 16 and she’ll perform as part of the Idol tour beginning in June.

In July, T.I. is hitting the road with Lil Wayne and Future for their America’s Most Wanted Festival, and the tour’s two alpha dogs teamed up for “Wit Me” to give fans a taste of what they can expect this summer. Over a spacey, syrupy beat, Weezy starts things off with a chain of clever couplets (“If niggas thinkin’ I’m soft / I’ll knock your thinking cap off”), then Tip turns in a typically propulsive verse. And then they both re-up for round two.

Hear the new collaboration below.
