Beyoncé's new single leaks

Beyoncé's brand new forthcoming single, 'Girls (Who Run The World)', has leaked online in full and has got fans' tongues wagging with its distinctive sound. 

The track, which was produced by Diplo and Switch, flirts with a style that wouldn't be out of place on an M.I.A album and employs a strong military influenced drum beat to bring the electro, dance and urban genres that it pulls elements from, together.

Its backing and structure is also incredibly similar to Major Lazer's 'Pon De Floor' and considering that Diplo is one half of the act it is possible that it's a direct sample.

Photos from the video shoot were unveiled last week and now the song has found its way online, the costumes seem very fitting. 'Girls (Who Run The World)' has a certain melodic aggression to it that sets it apart from her back catalogue and although no official release date has been confirmed, you can check it out below:
