And the hits just keep coming! Well, the sneak previews of Madonna's new songs just keep coming, anyway. Whether or not they'll end up as hits remains to be seen.

But today's leak, a minute-long snippet from her forthcoming single "Superstar," is a cut above the rest, thanks in very large part to her partner in song: none other than her daughter, Lourdes Leon.

So how does she do? Judge for yourself...

Madonna's 15-year-old daughter is starting slow—and good on her for it—easing her way into the musical spotlight by contributing to the background vocals for the tune. While you can't necessarily discern her pipes amidst the pack, she does blend in nicely.

And rather than just serving as a press release-worthy superfluous addition to the song, Lourdes' involvement is probably much more down to sentiment: After all, the tune, "Superstar," is a followup of sorts to "Little Star," the 1998 song that then-new mama Madonna penned in honor of her daughter.

So what do you think of the song? Give it a listen and let us know!
