Beyonce brings out the summer

Just a quickie, as Beyonce has dropped her new single Standing On The Sun, just as I head out the door to Glastonbury. It's as if she's saying: "Ahem... I still own that".

Standing On The Sun is the same song that briefly appeared on her Jonas Akerlund-directed H&M advert. And if you like your summer songs scorching, this is one for you: "When you touch me I feel the flames licking at my feet," trills Mrs Carter over a frenzy of clapping hands and an insistent piano thrum.

If the rest of her long-gestating album is this good, it'll have been worth the wait.
