(Album Review) Beyoncé - "BEYONCÉ"

BEYONCÉ, Beyoncé
Purchase album on iTunes HERE

This album release with absolutely no promotion or lead single came as a complete surprise to many when it was released Friday, December 13th 2013. The album overall to me seems like it has more of a pop sound like her second and third albums which is not my preferred sound for her, but it works for her.

1. Pretty Hurts - In this song she talks about what a woman goes through to please others as far as her appearance
2. Haunted - The beginning of this song with the younger Beyoncé is adorable. When the song starts it goes on to talk about how she was "haunting" him and now she believes he is "haunting" her 
3. Drunk In Love (feat. Jay Z) - She sings about how she is just drunk in love she is with her guy. The beat to this track is beyond sick and definitely club worthy.
4. Blow - This track from jump gave me a disco feel, and it really feels like a party track while she is talking about "turn that cherry out" and "daddy long-stroke"
5. No Angel - She sings about him being no angel, but admit that she isn't either
6. Partition - This track starts off with a nice heavy beat and to me it seems like at several points in the song she is doing some light rapping.
7. Jealous - In this song she sings about how she gets jealous and how he does not always keep his promises also that she is just human.
8. Rocket - This is a pretty good relaxing as far as the beat although it is sexually explicit as far as the lyrics go.
9.. Mine (feat. Drake) - This song is decent and Drake sings and raps on this track
10. XO - This is a real laid back and relaxing track that you can listen to in the car on a nice summer afternoon.
11. Flawless (feat. Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche) - This track is basically a reworked version of the track called "Bow Down".
12. Superpower (feat. Frank Ocean) - This song sounds like it would  have been a better fit for a Frank Ocean album.
13. Heaven - To me this sounds like something you would play when someone dies.
14. Blue (feat. Blue Ivy) - Now when I first heard this track I just assumed that it was an ode to her daughter but after thoroughly listening to it, I believe that parts of the song can be related to a relationship.

Here are just 2 of the 17 included videos

(Album Review) Kelly Rowland - "Talk A Good Game"


Tracklist

1. Freak - Kelly starts the album with a uptempo, club friendly and energetic track. In track she is simply singing about being his freak.
2. Kisses Down Low - This highly sexual song gets straight to the point of kissing down low
3. Gone [Feat. Wiz Khalifa] - I have liked this song ever since I first heard it with it's sample of "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni Mitchell
4. Talk A Good Game [Feat. Kevin Cossom] - The album title track is a song about a significant other that just makes broken promises and does not keep it 100% truthful and forward
5. Down On Love - This song is kinda depressing and is from the stance of a single and lonely person  who is down on love
6. Dirty Laundry - This song grabbed my attention the first time I heard it and mainly because it talked about soo many issues9          
7. You Changed [Feat. Beyoncé & Michelle] - This song is basically a Destiny's Child (or DC3)  reunion and I really do not have anything else to say
8. I Remember - This song focuses on a past relationship and the good memories during that time
9. Red Wine - I love the 80's feel I get from this track
10. This Is Love - In this song Kelly simply sings about how much she is in love
11. Street Life [Feat. Pusha T] - This track has that real smooth southern flow to it. It goes on to talk about the joys of living that street life
12. Stand In Front Of Me - This track has a somewhat 50's feel to it
13. Sky Walker [Feat. The Dream] - In this song she sings about what he needs in a woman and how she will be what he needs
14. Put Your Name On It - This song goes on to explain to him that she is all his and that he can put his name on "it"
15. #1 - She explains to him that she will only be his #1  and no others are allow

(EP Review) Beyonce - "4: The Remix"


To keep this review fairly short, I will simply say that this is a very pop and club influenced EP. Now, if you are in to that type of music than I will also say that it is a good collection of uptempo club music type of remixes. This EP is available on iTunes now.

Beyonce's first post pregnancy spotting

Beyoncé

The new mother was recently spotted at NYC at husbands Jay-Z club "40/40" looking quite stunning for someone who gave birth last month if I say so myself. She still has a little baby weight on her but looks beautiful nonetheless.

Check out some additional pictures below:
