With every track you are picked up like a tornado, forcefully grabbing your attention while sending you in a whirlwind before it spits you out so you can reflect on what your heard.
She has come a long way from her Dangerously In Love days where her man was the sole motivation. Now it is about what she is doing for herself, and only what she is willing to do for her man. In one of her tracks entitled, "Suga Mama," she is a woman who uses her cash to get what she wants. While telling her man to come sit on her lap, she has no shame singing, "Now take it off while I watch you perform." Many of the songs reflect the women who know they can do it all on their own, but would not mind being backed up by a man who is strong enough to keep her up.
In this album, Beyonce commands attention and gets the control. She creates something like a vortex mixed with past images of the boyfriends you wanted to tell off, the dreams you wish could tell the world and how sexy you felt when you wore that "freakum" dress after your man was doing you wrong. It is as though she shakes you awake, lets you sit for a minute and then calm your mind for the next ride.
Some Beyonce fans might say that she has finally lost her mind, but it is freeing after sirens flair and Beyonce breaks loose on her track "Ring the alarm". It is like she says what everyone thinks but is too afraid to say, especially when she sings that she would be "Damned if I see another chick on your arm". She has a new swagger and her sense of self clearly also goes for the song, "Get me bodied," where listeners are left yellin 'heeeyyy' with their girls- or guys. Nevertheless, most of her tracks will get you off your feet whether or not you are feeling crazy, or are ready to get the party started.
Case in point, B'day is sung through the heart and mind of a woman who lets loose of all inhibitions.
But as the album goes, Beyonce slows it down and reveals a more sexy vulnerable side to her strong temperament, singing how she keeps crying because her boyfriend saying how she "Loved you more than ever, More than my own life," but she cant get over it because he lied.
