Beyonce

Two of music’s top-selling stars have come together, however briefly, as Drake put out a new song featuring Beyonce.

Drake, the Canadian rapper who has found massive commercial success thanks in part to surprise releases, brought in the pop superstar on a song entitled “Can I?“

A similar version of the song had recently leaked on the Internet but it started airing officially over the weekend on Beats One, Apple’s online radio station where Drake is a major player. The song immediately fueled speculation on social media that “Can I?” would be part of Drake’s eagerly anticipated next album, whose release date has not been set.

Despite the big names, “Can I?” runs for only around two minutes and Beyonce’s contribution is limited to one line — “Can I, baby?” — which she recites repeatedly over one of Drake’s trademark slow, minimalist beats.
