Beyonce, queen of the complicated music video, has returned to her Single Ladies roots with a stripped down new video for Love On Top, the song she used to announce her pregnancy at the 2011 MTV VMAs.

Ditching the sky-high production value of Run the World (Girls) but losing none of the fun, Love On Top lets Beyonce's true talents shine through as singing and dancing take center stage. Literally. The clip starts as an in-studio rehearsal before B's imagination takes off and sticks her in a pair of perfectly tailored suits.

The video is also notable for another reason: it'll be the very last one released before she becomes a momma. And I can't think of a more perfect tune to make the transition.
