Music reviews of I Am...Sasha Fierce (Deluxe Edition)
Music Review: I Love Beyonce, Sasha Needs More Practice
Rating: 4 Stars
One of the most anticipated releases and worth the wait. Beyonce is a really talented person and has really made it look so easy, relatable yet so unique throughout her music career. She has gone through different phases in her career while remaining down-to-earth. I picked up the Deluxe edition yesterday and i imported into my i-Pod after listening to the entire album last night.
The strongest of the two discs is the 1st disc which is mostly slow ballads which are really becoming her strong suit, vocally and expressively. This portion of the album is 4 stars by itself and is a better follow up than B'Day.
I fell in love with "If I Were A Boy" after I first saw the video. Alot of people were hating on the song just from the title itself, stating that she was biting off of Ciara not realizing that Beyonce career started while Ciara was still pushing pom pom's in high school. Then there was of course the obligatory hateration with the song itself, people saying that she stole the song which was also another piece of hateration. She did the song up, BC Jean did the song up on the demo and it's alot more mature than what people might think when comparing it to Ciara's song of the same time and even one of Beyonce's more mature material in general.
"Halo" didn't take long to grow on me, the instrumental and the layering in the production is very solid and the lyrical content is clever and flows very nicely after "If I Were A Boy". You really start to get a sense of the direction of the 1st CD after listening to this.
"Disappear" is another one of my favorites, it's a slow burn kind of record. It's never boring, or lacsadasial, she keeps the mood consistent and the lyrical content is stronger than her previous efforts but she shines through on this while keeping it refreshing at the same time.
"Broken-Hearted Girl" is hypnotizing and it sucks you in with the piano solo at the beginning and it grabs your attention if you listen closely to the lyrics. By the time I got to this song, I was starting to see that this was starting to turn out to be Beyonce's "The Breakthrough"
"Ave-Maria" is very beautiful summer-y, serene down south in the bayou kind of song. The kind of song you can play on your patio and just drift away to happier moments in your life. If you listen to the song, it almost sounds like a remake and it sounds alot like a wedding song. Very nice touch
"Smash Into You" comes out strong and she really puts her soul into this song while not going entirely into "Ring The Alarm" mode, vocally. She really is aiming to be more popular with this song.
When I saw the tracklisting and saw the titles of some of these songs, I thought it was going to be some corny half as$ attempted album. So when I saw "Satellites" I was like oh boy. But it's only the 1 filler on the cd but it still stacks up pretty well with the production and the vocal production.
The CD ends on a strong note with "That's What Makes You Beautiful" which is right up there with "Resentment" from her last album, nice choice.
I was a little aprehensive with the second CD "Sasha Fierce".
"Single Ladies" is a real bouncy, attitude filled song, I'm backing it up in my chair as I type this part of the review up. When I first heard the song before the video, I was like "Demo for sure" but then I saw the video, and I have this goal to have the dance down by New Year's. You Go Bey.
"Radio" is when you really get a sense that she is really trying to bring out Sasha when she actually sounds more like Tashaun from around the way with the ghetto drawl in her delivery and with that 80's inspired production. I have to give this a few more tries, nice though.
When I was on Mediatakeout last week and saw that Beyonce was rapping on this song where she's number 1 in the game (which is pretty much true among the younger female singers), I knew I had to listen to it. I really thought she was going to go off on this one and start naming names, she raps on this one and she's not exactly Brook Lynn, but it's cute and she did on that Milli-like beat. I see Sasha on this one then I do on Radio and most of the rest of the CD.
"Sweet Dreams" continues that 80's style production and her vocals grove cool with the CD and this sounds more like Beyonce than it does Sasha. Maybe if she lowered her register like Janet did on "Love Will Never Do Without You" on some of the songs on the 2nd CD and had more attitude, Sasha would be more indepedent of Beyonce. This won't take long to grow on me.
"Video Phone" sounds like the before of "Suga Mama", the chorus is a little boring and the half as$ bass can be a little annoying, it took me awhile to figure what the heck she was singing about but the vibrato keeps it interesting.
"Hello" sounds real nice, has this opera feel to it and she snaps on this song and she real takes no prisoners and is straight up on this song. The chorus can be a little annoying, if she say Hello one mo' gin LOL.
"Ego" is pretty smooth and sounds similar to "Body On Me" by Ashanti if you play close attention to the intro. Beyonce really shows alot of versatility with her delivery and it's one of my favorites.
"Scared Of Lonely" is a really nice end to the second CD. another one of my favorites.
I personally have to get used to this Sasha a little more and I think Beyonce should've waited at least another album to introduce an entire CD to Sasha. It would've been nice if Sasha was more distinguishable from Beyonce and had a bolder, more attitude personality so I'd know when she's there and when she's not. I was looking for more attitude a la "Kitty Kat" & "Freakum Dress" & "Upgrade U" on the second CD but it didn't quite mount up to that kind of attitude and the second CD in general didn't mount up to the 1st CD but it couldn't been alot worse than what it is. The thought is real nice as far as the album but I think she should've made this another 1 CD album with little hints of Sasha Fierce like she with the last album to better accumulate her fans with Sasha before devoting an entire CD to her alter ego. This sounds like another multiple-grammy nominated set.
Description of I Am...Sasha Fierce (Deluxe Edition)
I AM...SASHA FIERCE DELUXE - Includes five #1 hits "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)," "If I Were A Boy," "Halo," "Ego," and "Sweet Dreams." Also includes bonus tracks "Video Phone" featuring Lady GaGa and "Poison."(Amazon.co.uk Review) The latest outing from former Destiny's Child starlet Beyoncé is an intentionally schizophrenic affair. Splitting herself into two separate characters--herself and alter ego Sasha Fierce--is the artist's way of presenting what she obviously sees as an artistic duality. The first set, I Am..., is intended give a glimpse beneath the surface of her usual R&B-pop persona. Featuring recent single ?If I Was a Boy", the soaring ?Halo", and ballads like ?Disappear", and ?Ave Maria", it seems her ?real" self is way more saccharine than the lady that brought us sassy pop moments like ?Crazy in Love" and ?Baby Boy". That side of her personality comes rushing back out on Sasha Fierce, a more rousing collection that kicks off with the infectious handclaps of ?Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", ventures into Euro-dance territory with ?Radio", and gets surprisingly risque with the voyeuristic ?Video Phone". Which part of the album you enjoy most will depend on your musical proclivities, but the new, bifurcated Beyoncé ensures there's enough diversity to satisfy the most demanding pop aficionado. --Danny McKenna
