Update: According to Pitchfork, the newly released "Sweet Dreams" remix, which made it onto Beyoncé's official TIDAL and Apple Music pages, was not a part of Beyoncé's doing. Representatives for Beyoncé confirmed to the music publication that the remix was "not an official release" from Bey or her team [1], which has us wondering if Queen Bey was the victim of an online hack. Either way, listen to a snippet of the unofficial remix that had us doing a body roll in our seats below.
Original story: Beyoncé has proven time and time again that she does things on her own time. Whether it's dropping surprise albums [2] or surprise announcements about her pregnancies [3], the Queen Bey loves to shake things up for her loyal Beyhive — and that's exactly what she did on Thursday morning. This time, she unexpectedly released a remix of "Sweet Dreams," a single from her 2008 album I Am... Sasha Fierce. While there's no clear reason why Bey chose to bless our ears with an updated version of the classic bop — it could have something to do with the 10-year anniversary of the album in November — we'll take whatever we can get until the Lemonade singer decides to release a new LP. Listen to the sultry, hip-hop infused remix ahead.
