BEYONCE "GIRL" REVIEW
Beyonce is back and once again has everybody at the edge of their seats. Log on to Twitter and Facebook to see the unbeilevable hype for her new single 'Girl.' Little about the album is known, no title, no release date and no new management have been announced. We know the video is being shot and the Diva has a new look that was teased in a twitpic on the set of 'Girl.' Luckily Boomlikean808 didn't have to wait too long with anticipation, I got to listen to the new single that is sure to set every club on fire.
As soon as the intro to the song hits I knew that the track would be serious. Instantly you recognize the Major Laserz sample from the infectious club hit 'Pon the Floor' which was also sampled by Dirty Money on the Swizz Beatz produced 'Ass on the Floor.' There is no comparison between the two, Diplos (Chris Brown Look At Me Now, M.I.A. Boyz, Paper Planes) production makes Swizzys seem like Childs Play. And y'all know I love Swizz Beatz. 'Girl' is an absolute killer. Beyonce has rose the bar so high that she will even have a difficult time surpassing it.
In a day where everything (including urban music) is in some way related to Euro Pop, Beyonce has a chance to change the sound of radio. The song is massive enough to make up for the lack of authenticity in 'Diva' & the bromidic 'Get Me Bodied' & 'Single Ladies.' Infact 'Girl' is all 3 of those songs rolled into 1 on steroids. The hard hitting production and aggressive vocals come with an equal amount of aggressive lyrics on the girl power anthem. Beyonce asks "Who run the world?" before answering "Girls do!" The cocky singer even shouts out her hubby, singing "Imma bump in my Jeep/ listening to Jay-Z."
Bey deserves a big fat A+ for 'Girl.' And this isn't coming from a Beyonce stan, she was counted out in my book for the simple fact that Pop music has completely taken over almost every genre. She once again set up her own lane to drive in. Even though the track is as gay as a Barbara Streisand concert, its sure to please any music fan, straight, gay, male or female. And for the first time in history i'm excited to hear a Beyonce album. Lets hope Diplo got ahold of majority of the album.
Rihanna, Britney, Gaga & Beyonce are going to make the next 6 months in music very interesting. We're witnessing history people.
