Well, my rating says it all! There is not one song on this "surprise" album that I do not like. In fact, picking a favorite song is nearly impossible; some notable tracks, if you are hesitant to buy the album, are Pretty Hurts, Blow, Blue, and ***Flawless. These track alone, particularly Pretty Hurts, gives an accurate portrait of an album released by a seasoned pop icon. I will be using these specific tracks as references throughout this review.Both Blue and Blow are slower ballads, where ***Flawless is a pounding HipHop track with a beat that takes names. Pretty Hurts is, as I would say, an empowering track done right. What do I mean by that? Well, when you hear these "self empowering," songs on the radio, they tend to be pandering to the overly emotional GLEE loving generation that always needs to be told they're special with out doing anything, like that annoying Sarah Barellis song 'Brave." Pretty Hurts, on the other hand, isn't about tolerating others because of their differences or some other PC bull crap, its about tolerating yourself. Beyonce uses Pretty Hurts as a message to say, "you can get all the surgery you want, but it's not going to fix what's really wrong, so just be happy with you." In my opinion, I think this is her crowning moment on the whole album. Blow is a very sexual song, and not in a filthy way that makes you want to take a shower. Its sexy, and I can picture it being in a film during a passionate love scene to really kick up the mood. Blue, is quite possibly the cutest anthem for her daughter that she could have made. She really lets down her guard and opens us up to her inner feelings about her beloved daughter, "When you're holding me tight, I feel alive." just to quote the song directly. Outside of the mentioned songs stands equally entertaining tracks such as Partition, a club Hip Hop/RnB song with a beat that does not quit, and with lines like "I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker," Beyonce shows that if she had anything left to prove, she just proved it. Over all I would highly recommend this album to both Beyonce Fans(the few who don't have it yet) and non fans who just want a killer RnB album.
