Hear that buzzing? We're T-minus five days until Beyoncé's not-so-surprise four-disc Platinum Edition Box Set drops, but an early leak has the Beyhive all worked up this morning. Last night, a thirty second snippet—Shazam'ed by Buzzfeed so we know it's real—of "7/11," one of the two new songs set to be included in the set, began making the rounds online. It was produced by Ariel Rechtshaid, and it portents a real banger. According to AllAccess, "7/11" is slotted for radio play beginning next Tuesday, November 25; Beyoncé Platinum Edition Box Set is out November 24.
Update 4:15pm 11/19/14: And here is a snippet of "Ring Off," the other new song. Fire up the rumor mills...
