Last week Beyoncé aka Queen B aka Yonce aka Beysus aka Sasha Fierce aka Mrs. Carter unknowingly released her 4th* studio album. As many may know she did this without PR, a single, album cover or even a mention of a possible album. She even dropped it after the so very epic winter finale of the best show on earth, Scandal. When word got out about this album you would think free health care, food stamps, Jordan's, or even free cars. I mean people lost their minds. Of course the died hard Beehive fans immediately bought the exclusive iTunes only visual album and got all of their life handed to them. Then there are people like I'm not a stan me who don't really lose their panties over something a huge as this.
Its been almost a week and I gave in to buying the album. I was originally going to wait until the regular album that comes out in just 2 days but after listening to the most awesome podcast ever, The Read, I was convinced. Last night I bought the exclusive iTunes edition of the album and I am in love. After waiting for what felt like an eternity for the entire download I was served on a nice shiny gold-plated platter my life in 32 different ways. This new Beyoncé album is a sure reminder that she is not the same young lady from Destiny's Child.
My intention is not to do an album review but I will say that I can play the entire album nonstop. This album is a pure reflection of her life and how she sees it. The album is chronological and should be listened to that way. I think throughout the entire album my favorite songs would be: Blow, Partition, Pretty Hurts, Rocket, and Flawless. But like I said before I can play the entire album non stop all the way through.
So, thank you Beyoncé for giving me all of my life and some!
