We previously got a super short snippet of Beyoncé and Andre 3000′s cover of Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black, and today an extended preview has hit the web.
Bey and Three Stacks definitely put their own spin on the track, which is slated to appear on The Great Gatsby soundtrack.
Take a listen to the clip, plus Amy’s original below, and post your thoughts!

Beyoncé has been covering magazines like crazy in recent months, and her reign now continues with the prime spot on Russian Glamour’s May 2013 edition.
Bey mixes colorful prints for the cover shot, and the hair and makeup give a retro, Twiggy kind of feel.
Now I’m not fluent in Russian, so I couldn’t tell you a damn thing you’ll find inside the issue, but as always, Mrs. Carter looks fab!

Picture this: You’re walking down the street minding your own business, when suddenly Beyoncé pops out of a van, and gives you and your bestie tickets to her concert for that night. Sounds like something out of a Stan’s wildest dreams, right?
Well this was the recent reality for two lucky girls in Slovakia.
That’s right, Bey surprised two unsuspecting fans with tickets to her Mrs. Carter World Tour and a quick photo-op. This awesome moment was recorded from the vehicle right behind the van, and while you can’t hear the girls’ reactions, you can definitely tell how special the moment was from the body language alone.
I wonder if this will become a trend for the remainder of her tour dates?
After opening for all four of her Revel shows last year, Luke James will once again be warming up the stage for Beyoncé.
The superstar personally chose the New Orleans native as her opening act, gushing about the up-and-comer’s talents.
Luke James is a gifted singer and songwriter and what he does on stage with his pure falsetto is incredible. I am excited to have him join the tour and to introduce this soulful singer to an audience in Europe that will be discovering a true star.
Of course Luke accepted the offer with no hesitation, and has released a statement humbly thank Bey for the opportunity.
It is such an unimaginable honor to be sharing the light yet again with Beyoncé on her sold out Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. This is a blessing that I do not take lightly. Thank you Beyoncé.
Luke will hit the stage with King B beginning on April 24 in Paris, and wrap up the European trek on May 29 in Stockholm, Sweden. No word yet if he’ll be asked to tag along for the U.S. leg as well.
If it’s not Luke, who would you guys like Bey to recruit for the North American dates?
Beyhive, get ready!
Beyoncé kicked off her Mrs. Carter Would Tour in Belgrade, Serbia last night, and by the looks of it, King B did not disappoint.
The setlist for the evening was comprised of over 30 tracks, and she slipped into at least nine different ensembles throughout the show.
Check out some pics from the evening below, and post your thoughts. Which one of Bey’s performance looks is your fave?

Last month, H&M revealed that they would be partnering with R&B superstar, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, for their upcoming summer campaign set to be released this May. Over the weekend, the clothing retailer released new images of a bikini-clad Bey as part of the new ad campaign.
What makes these [H&M] pieces even more special is that Beyoncé herself had input into the design, and they are full of her own personal style. -Ann-Sofie Johansson (Head of Design at H&M)

Jay-Z and Beyoncé have been under fire by the media and conservative Republican lawmakers after their trip to Havana, Cuba earlier this month to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary (Visiting Cuba without authorization from the US government is illegal). The US Treasury Department, has now confirmed that the Carter’s legally traveled to the island on a special license.
It is our understanding that the travelers in question traveled to Cuba pursuant to an educational exchange trip organized by a group authorized by (the Office of Foreign Assets Control) to sponsor and organize programs to promote people-to-people contact in Cuba.

Not one to take criticism lightly, the Roc Nation boss decided to pop back at the critics early this morning with new track, Open Letter, produced by Swizz Beatz and Timbaland.
They wanna give me jail time and a fine — Fine, let me commit a real crime… Obama said, ‘Chill you’re going to get me impeached’ / You don’t need this sh-t anyway, chill with me on the beach.

Kisses Down Low singer, Kelly Rowland, recently revealed that she would be collaborating with her sisters in music, Michelle Williams, and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter on a new track slated to appear on her forthcoming fourth studio album, Talk A Good Game. Although, the ladies came together for the new record, don’t get your hopes up because Kelly is adamant that the track is NOT a Destiny’s Child reunion…
In a recent interview with Radio.com, Kelly revealed that their new collaborative effort, You Changed, was produced by Harmony Samuels (Chris Brown, Mary J. Blige), written by Courtney Harrell (Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Mary J. Blige), and a far cry from her previous, more suggestive singles…
I actually have collaborated with my sisters, Beyoncé, and Michelle, on the album, and I’m so excited for people to hear the record. [The record] Produced by Harmony and written by Courtney Harrell, and it’s a great record. Our voices sound so great together, I am so excited for people to hear it… The record I did with Beyoncé and Michelle is called, You Changed. It’s basically about a relationship that has gone awry and not in the best place. The way the record is written is genius. I tip my hat to Courtney Harrell. The way she is witty and sarcastic, lyrically, just made me so excited to sing it.
Talk A Good Game, is set to be released June 4th.
