Beyonce; Pink Toes

Okay, so the other day... Well last Friday, December 13th, Beyonce released her fifth cd. It was truly a surprise even to me. Beyonce, in my mind is hit or miss. Her last cd I only really acknowledged 3 songs and the rest were pretty useless. Honestly when I heard about this cd, I was listening to the radio and they were playing 'Drunk in Love' and I hated it. I was like what is this crap. I don't really care for Jay Z because his raps recently are garBAGEEEE. Beyond that, it had an off sound and truly, some songs on the radio sound much different than their mastered iTunes versions or whatever. I purchased it later that evening and honestly was more excited about the video portion and it was mind blowing.

From the songs, it sounded like she'd matured. She know excepts who and what she is. From who she is to her sexuality as a woman. All together, I can appreciate this body of work. She took her time with this album.She just sounds like she is comfortable with herself and willing to allow herself to finally be seen by the public. That being said, I did one run through of the videos. THERE IS SO MUCH BUTT. I have never seen so much full on butt. She's lost weight and is slim and more toned but leave something to the imagination. It was so much for my eyes to focus on.

I'm currently listening to the album for the second time. About 6 or 7 songs are purely sexually referenced. They are just over saturated with that and it's a bit much. While those songs are playing I'm just uttering 'EW' the entire freaking song(s). It's a lot to handle. It's not like she hasn't made references like this before but they were more subtle and seemed to have multiple meanings. This is just blatant and easy off the tongue.

My favorite songs are Mine(absolute favorite), XO, Heaven(I can't listen to more than twice in a row), and I'm starting to like Superpower. Blue is a cute song. Again, it is a great body of work BUT she still is hit or miss for me. It's just so much sex. I may be saying this because i have no one to call my own and that makes me biased. I just don't want to envision Jay Z and Beyonce doing anything.I love music outside the realm of sex, drugs and money.

When i downloaded this album, it messed up my iTunes album artwork which is super annoying. I'm trying to fix it but that ain't working.

ANYWAYS. Perhaps you'll like it. I have attached the links for the videos...

ENJOY!

Mine

XO

Heaven

Purchase it or preview the songs and purchase what you like. I do like the videos but eh she's still hit or miss for me.


OHHHHH! After I purchased the album, I purchased this song by Childish Gambino ft Jhene Aiko, Pink Toes which I love. Made the mistake of purchasing the entire album which I wish you could return an album after 1 minute of purchasing. It's an amazing song and an alright album.

They jacked up this version of it but check iTunes or another website to hear the song. I really like Jhene Aiko. That's truly the only reason I purchased the album....
