    NEW YORK (AP) — Sunday was "fun day" for Beyonce and Jay-Z: The new parents enjoyed a concert by R&B singer The-Dream in New York.

    The couple jammed to the singer-songwriter in the VIP section of SOB's, a small club that houses a few hundred people.

    The-Dream co-wrote and co-produced Beyonce's massive hit "Single Ladies." He also worked his magic on Rihanna's "Umbrella," Justin Bieber's "Baby" and "Touch My Body" by Mariah Carey.

    He performed a number of his own hits Sunday night, including "Shawty In a 10," ''Falsetto" and "I Luv Your Girl." He'll release his fourth album later this year.

    The Grammy winner thanked the crowd for coming out, saying, "I know some of ya'll got kids at home."

    Beyonce gave birth to daughter Blue Ivy in January.
