Free Music Notes for B'day [Deluxe Edition]
Free Music Review: Re B'Day??
Hit: 5 Stars
B'Day, the follow up to Beyonce's multi platinum debut solo album, Dangerously In Love, is a full-fledged celebration of her 25th birthday, an album that is bound to satisfy and disappoint, her many legions of fans. While many will love the up-tempo, hard hitting groove that is highly prevalent throughout the majority of the album, there will also be those who are disappointed with its lack of ballads. B'Day is more hip-hop than R&B, an album which finds Beyonce experimenting with a much more edgy vibe than that of her debut album, resulting in a compilation that both succeeds and fails. After success with the album, somehow Beyonce re-release the album and named it B'Day Deluxe Edition, she made this album as a Double Disc. This album offers some brand new songs and a hit single "Beautiful Liar".
This deluxe edition album officially begins with the new single that has become a huge success in North America, Beautiful Liar. This song that features Shakira in it, is a song that has an Arabian feel on it, which definitely was the result of Beyonce's, mostly Shakira's cultural music background. I was very happy to know that Beyonce did a duet with Shakira, which was I rather unexpected, and the result was a huge hit like this. Although, this song sounds so different from the other songs on the album. Following that, "Irreplaceable" was set to be the second track of the album. This song is a pop-oriented, guitar laden that still has an R&B feel in it. With no doubt, this song is the most successful single from B'Day, peaking at #1 on Billboard Hot 100 for 10 consecutive weeks, tie with her previous single "Baby Boy", which also peaked at #1 for 10 weeks back in 2003. This song is so far being my all time favorite Beyonce song. Meanwhile, the catchy, Neptunes-produced, Green Light serves as the third song. Kitty Kat is up next, a mid-tempo song that at first I found just a boring song that I always skip, but after many listens to it, this song is one of my personal highlight on the album. Basically, it has grown on me slowly.
Welcome to Hollywood can't be said as a brand new song actually, as this song has appeared before on Jay-Z's latest release "Kingdom Come", just this version she sings it solo. Upgrade U is another song that features Jay-Z. When this song has yet to be release as a single, it has charted on Billboard Hot R&B Songs and peaked at #11. I think that this has proved the song as a really awesome collaboration. Even though, at first I found this song kinda boring, but the more it grows on me, the more I am addicted to the song. The next two songs, are completely brand news song that are being offered on this Deluxe Edition. The first one is "Flaws and All". This is a ballad song, but the music background is kinda like an up-beat song. However, the ballad vocal with the up-beat music background fit together, creating a unique ballad. Beyonce's vocal sounds extremely beautiful and proved the world that she still got that talent. This is a song that you'll fall in love with. "Still in Love (Kissing You)" is another slow song that is simpler with the piano as the background music. Beyonce's fans that love her vocal performance, will get satisfy by this song. The next song is not another ballad; instead this song is the extended mix of Get Me Bodied. I found it not much different from the original version. It's a good remix, but I think it's too long. Freakum Dress is another definite hit. This is one of my favorite songs from this album. This song won't get easily forgotten, that something I can promise from this song. Meanwhile, Suga Mama probably being the weirdest song on the album and it has an 80s sensation. At first, I thought that this song was so weird, but after many listens, this song is definitely being a highlight from the album and I personally really like it. The next two songs are the first and second single from the album. Déjà vu and Ring the Alarm have become a huge success throughout the world, marking as Beyonce's comeback last year. Déjà vu is always an awesome song everytime I listen to it, while Ring the Alarm is a single that I never really satisfy with. The alarm scares me too anyway, ha..ha. Although, it has a nice beat. The next song is a ballad called Resentment. Until today, I never like this song; I think this song was not meant for me. Beyonce sounds great though, but the song is just not right for me. Luckily for me, another ballad is serves and this one is one is my all time favorite Beyonce's ballad, Listen. This song reflects the emotion within in an infectious way. Beyonce delivers her vocal highlight in this song too. The last song from the first disc, Worldwide Woman, is just an average R&B song, with nothing special.
Moving on to the second disc, it begins with a brand new Spanish song, which features Alejandro Fernandez, Amor Gitano. The song is a typical Latin song, that begins with a mosque sensation. Although, don't worry about it, it doesn't effect the enjoyment of the song. To me, it's kinda forgettable, as there are many other Latin songs that are a duet like this. The most memorable thing is just Beyonce's vocal that has a character. Oye is just the Spanish version of "Listen" and Imprescindible/Irreemplazable is just the Spanish version of Irreplaceable. The next three songs are very unnecessary. Those are Beautiful Liar remix that sounds very similar, the Spanish and Spanglish version of it. Waste of money to purchase them, unless you are a Beautiful Liar freak. The next song, which closes this deluxe edition album, is the Nortena Remix of Irreplaceable, the remix is a Caribbean remix, and it fit with the song, this remix brings a different sensation of what Irreplaceable used to offer.
In the end, I have to say that this is even better than her debut solo album, completely not a sophomore slump. I enjoy this album so much, and I highly recommended the album to everyone wherever you are. If you've own the B'Day original edition, its not necessary to purchase this re-release version, but download the brand new songs though, if you really like Beyonce. The bad thing about this re-release record is that Creole is not included, which I found that song is really awesome, so check that one out too! At last, I wanna say Happy Belated B'Day to Beyonce!

B'day [Deluxe Edition] Poster
History may prove Beyoncé's B'Day to be a rare double-whammy of an achievement. Not only is it destined to hold up as one of the thumpingest, most polished-sounding discs of 2006, it's also bound to loose a new phrase into the popular lexicon: a "freekum dress" (n.), as described on a same-named track halfway through this excellent CD, is a "right-fittin'" garment owned by every woman; "when they act wrong, that's when you put it on." Linguistic hijinks aside, here is Beyoncé as the public rarely sees her: fully liberated and artistically fearless. "Ring the Alarm," a big-banging, fire-alarm-clanging wake-up call to a cheating man, finds her seething; "Kitty Kat," a feline-like size-up of a stale relationship helped along by the still innovative Neptunes, shows her spurned; the womanly, fire-in-the-belly come-on "Suga Mama" gets her way, way worked up; and the crackling, vocally volcanic "Resentment" steeps her in Aretha-caliber soul. For all the disc's solo trailblazing, though, where it really soars is on one of two duets with Jay-Z: While "Up Grade U" chugs along entertainingly enough about the good life ("I'm talkin' spa bags and fly pads and rooms at the Bloomberg"), opener "Deja Vu" blasts out a bomp-bomp beat nobody with a head to nod could resist. Cake, candles, and Cristal or no, B'Days rarely get this good. --Tammy La Gorce
