On Saturday, the fourth song from the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming adaptation of The Great Gatsby hit the web, and boy did it make a splash. Whereas previous songs by Lana Del Ray, The xx and Florence & the Machine were received warmly (comments on The xx’s Soundcloud page include, “awwsome,” “Perfect,” and “Haunting… Love”) but maybe a little quietly due to their lack of “potential hit” status, Beyoncé and André 3000′s contribution was guaranteed to have the star power to make waves on the internet.
When it dropped, it became clear that the internet was not giving Bey and Dré the kiddy wave pool it gave to previous Gatsby musicians
