Queen Bey Beyoncé surprised fans around the world when she
unexpectedly released a "visual" album, Beyoncé. The album boasts with 14 new
songs and 17 videos! Beyoncé, music's glossiest mega-star, worked with the
likes of Drake, Pharrell and hubby Jay Z on this project. The videos are has
various directors on them, but it's the video Blue which caught my attention as
it features her daughter, Blue Ivy! Essential tracks on this album are “Pretty
Hurts”, “Partition”, “Flawless”, and “Blue”. The Daily Telegraph's Neil
McCormick dubbed the LP "the most X-rated pop album since Madonna's
Erotica", further writing in his four-star review: "You could get
into a head spin about the mixed messages. Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi
Adichie delivers a feminist empowerment speech over the dirty groove of
Flawless, while Beyoncé yells “Bow down b***hes”. It's a brilliant release that
touches on futuristic R&B and some electro soul thrown in for extra sound. Awesome!
