Beyoncé's done "breaking the Internet" and slowly turning back to the usual channels as she revealed 17 new music videos for each track on her last Friday-released surprise fifth self-titled studio album, but the singer has now decided to release the visual for "Drunk In Love" with husband Jay-Z, which will act as the first official single from the new project. In the VEVO premiere, Beyoncé laid out on the beach with with her husband in the steamy, black-and-white clip directed by Hype Williams. The superstar couple shows how madly in love they are as Jay-Z sips D'Usse and Beyoncé rocks his chain.
Produced by Boots and Timbaland, the hip-hop/R&B-infused "Drunk in Love," one of the more overtly sexual tracks on the album, finds Beyoncé singing about making love while intoxicated over producer Noel "Detail" Fisher's shimmering synths and skittering drums. Jay-Z takes things further rapping about "foreplay in the foyer" as well as a rhyme comparing Beyoncé's breasts to breakfast. Truthfully, the hypnotic tune almost becomes an afterthought because of the seductive songstress. "Drunk in Love" is described having a riot of warm, hazy synths and chunky trap beats, which lyrically dispenses of any subtlety that some of the other tracks possess as an explicit ode to love-making.
The first video is actually one of the album's simplest, mostly consisting of a sparkling Beyoncé dancing around on the beach with a different sort of jubilant, before being joined by her world-conquering husband. It's not the album's peak, musically or visually, but unconstrained by heavy choreography - Beyoncé seems to mostly freestyle - it legitimately looks like they're having fun. "We shot in Miami last summer," said Beyoncé during her iTunes Rhythmic Radio session. "The shoot was extremely effortless and spontaneous and we completely captured the energy of the song."
The two lovahs take a late night stroll along the sand with the waves crashing onto the shore. While getting soaking wet in the water, we see a bikini-clad Beyoncé sensually moving her body to the smooth beat on the sand. Husband Jay-Z comes in to rap his verse in the bridge, holding but not sipping a glass of white wine. Beyoncé will then caress her man and sing softly in his ear. They went from "Crazy in Love" to "Drunk in Love." The sound is a perfect backdrop for Beyoncé and Jay-Z to make sweet, sweet music together! Watch the Carters sizzle in the sand in the intoxicating visuals.
