Beyonce - B'Day

...Prior to her solo career Beyonce made up of a third of American r n b girl group "Destiny's Child" and even from the start was clearly the leader both vocally and talent wise. Her first album found her great success as a solo artist worldwide but even prior to this album being released in the UK there was an immense amount of criticism flying about regarding the quality of it. I was a huge fan of her first album and so decided to have a listen to ...
...my expectations… "Déjà Vu" is the first song up on the album and it's as catchy and sexy as I imagine any opening track of Beyonces to be. It's an upbeat song that you won't be able to resist dancing around the room to, not completely different to her previous hit "Crazy in Love" it's a duet with Jay Z. Their two sounds complement each other perfectly, her more upbeat soulful voice partnered with his smooth rapping tones of r n b. It's not the most ...

Review of Beyonce - B'Day

...were slow numbers. However Beyonce is back and there is hardly any slow songs in sight. She says the album was done in two weeks and it was inspired by her character Deena from her upcoming film 'Dreamgirls'. She made the records as statements that she wish Deena would have done in her life. So lets review the cd: 1) Deja Vu(feat JayZ) - A good first single. It is a commercial song with a great beat and can easily get stuck in your head for a good ...
...song and it feels like Beyonce is in the room singing to you. Not many effects used on this track and it's just got a simple instrument playing in the background. For all those who doubt B then this song reassures you she can sing so good. 11) Check On It - We all know this song. It's hip hop, it's catchy and it was for her film 'The Pink Panther'. Not one of my favourite songs as i feel like it's just another average R'n'B song. 12) Listen - oh ...

Beyonce bday Remember to comment and rate... This album was great; as soon as I herd Deja Vu I knew I would like her album. Beyonce is a great musician and I think she will achieve a lot. Beyonce has a nice mixture of songs in here, they all seem to be in a different genre not just dance or rnb but soul hip-hop, rap and some slow songs. This is great because no one wants to listen to the same types of tracks and even her voice vaiates which majes ...
...and also get me bodied. Beyonce is a born performer if you have seen her perform great if you havent go on you tube and check her out. I like her performance to either ring the alarm or get me bodied. The album includes: Irreplaceable - I did like it at first but I've heard it over and over and over again, so it is a bit annoying but is a good track and deserves 7/10. This song is catchy "To the left to the left". Green Light - This was a song ...

Beyonce has a new kind of sound in this album. She cleary gets across her love for Jay-Z in the songs she has writeen and you can tell she has grown up alot since the last album. Some songs want to make you get up and dance, while others you would just rather skip. She is showing her audience that she has grown into a woman now, and is completley sperate from the girl we knew in Destineys Child. She is breaking new boundries with a new kind of style ...
...african decent. She has no nerves about this album and it shows that she is not trying to please critics, but her fans. She is trying new styles and new things and she obviously doesn't care what the conventional people think. I say go girl! she has gone a little too far on some songs though, they often sound mundane and have no real life to it. Although this happens with experiments, some go right and others go wrong. Atleast she is breaking out ...

Review of Beyonce - B'Day

...Liar. Déjà vu is typical Beyonce and that is why it is good. But correct me if I’m wrong, aren’t artists supposed to get better after every album? Upgrade U is the only real song in this album that deserves to be there. This song is up a class from the others, but the rest of the album is back in a time warp. The songs on this album would have been good 5 years ago, but not today when you have Nelly Furtado and Rihanna breathing down your back. ...

Review of Beyonce - B'Day

Beyonce is BACK! And it would be really hard not to notice with the great album that is B-Day.... This album is 90% Danceable, 97% enjoyable and 100% Sexy. Beyonce brought back a whole different flavour alongside her man Jay-Z who certainly contributes positively to her songs. The Dynamic Duo are becoming very popular with the songs; Deja-Vu and Upgrade Ya. There is no doubt that Beyonce has come a long way since she first started singing when she ...
...while listening to this song. Beyonce and Jay-Z are so good together. Their combination is just perfect. *Get me bodied - Another one of her dancing songs, Beyonce is very energetic. Once again, the beat and rhythm of this song is so enjoyable. She has really good beats. I love it! *Upgrade Ya - Yet again Beyonce and Jay-Z team up for yet another great song. I love the beat. Great to dance to. Really let her Upgrade Ya! Overall it is a very good ...

...upbeat tunes like get me bodied, upgrade u and deja vu with a nice balance of the more soulful tunes that Beyonce does best like irreplaceable. The only downside for me is that it is a little on the short side but I would ultimately highly recommend this album. ...
