Best Thing I Never Had

Today, we're proud to present the official second release off Beyonce's new album. The Babyface-penned Best Thing I Never Had is a lush, sweeping ballad of a traditional stripe-or an anti-ballad, as the case may be. This joint finds the Destiny's Child alum expressing her joy at not falling for a fella who she now knows would have been terrible for her. Over Symbolyc One's glittering, piano-led instrumental, the singer lets the man in question know that, though she once was head-over-heels for him, now that she's seen his true colors, he doesn't have a chance in hell of winning her back. As usual, Knowles delivers her kiss-offs in style, even managing to make "Sucks to be you" sound soulful. And to make this track more club friendly and something you can move to, we've compiled the best full length club remixes out there on special colored vinyl for your listening pleasure.
