Feeling down because Queen Bey didn’t win “Album of the Year”? Then here’s something to cheer you up 🙂
Almost immediately after the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, DJ Khaled (real name Khaled Mohamed Khaled) dropped a surprise single, titled “Shining”, on Tidal and it features Beyoncé and Jay Z! Also, the single’s cute artwork shows the music maker’s infant son, Asahd Tuck Khaled, in a black tuxedo.
This is Beyoncé and Jay Z first collaboration together since “Drunk in Love” in 2013. The track starts off with a simple hook from Queen Bey. “Shinin’, shinin’, shinin’, shinin’, yeah,” she sings in the first part of the chorus.
“All of this winnin’, I’ve been losin’ my mind, yeah/ Oh, hold on, hold on, baby/ Don’t try to/ Slow me down/ Don’t try to/ Slow me down,” she continues.
Then, Jay Z can be heard rapping about his family and success (read: 21 Grammys and 12 platinum albums). “21 Grammys I’m a savage nigga,” he raps over DJ Khaled upbeat tunes.
Enjoy:
It was reported that “Shining” will be included in DJ Khaled’s upcoming album, “Grateful”, which will be his 10th studio album. His 2016 album, “Major Key”, received a Grammy nomination for “Best Rap Album”.
