Beyonce is back with new music! Unfortunately it is BEYONCE that is back, and not the Queen that is Sasha Fierce.(what's up with that? Has Bey killed her? I feel like I haven't seen her in too long a time! Someone put out an APB!)
God Made You Beautiful is a song from mother to daughter that I'm sure is very special and personal to Beyonce and her family. However, I don't know any of them, so I'm having a hard time getting into this offering. My frowny opinion might be biased by my ears and heart still being clogged with flu junk, but as of now, I deem this track to be a slushy snoozefest. Arise Sir Snoozefest! If only I'd had it last week for all those hours I couldn't get to sleep, tossing and turning with fever. Would have been a Godsend.
Yes, the sentiment is beautiful- you have to say that right?- and I'm sure God Made You Beautiful will touch many - mothers being the most obvious demographic (not to mention overzealous fans who see Blue Ivy as the second coming)- but it's just not for bitter ol' me. And I'm OK with that. Perhaps I'll give it another spin once I'm fully back with the land of the living. I'm sure you guys will help me refine my next listen with your comments!
Thoughts?
I'm at work so I can't exactly listen to the song, but I wanna mention that a few years around the release of 4, Bey stated that she's "killed" and has become one with Sasha Fierce or something, as Sasha was made up to give Bey courage while performing.
ReplyDeleteI've heard short snippets of this song before but I don't remember them crystal clear in my head, but I feel like it was boring almost. But who knows, fuller analysis to come.
I find the song lovely (the message)...
ReplyDeleteBut is it just me or the background tune has a very amateur feel to it?
Also, the layering is a bit too heavy the song is a massive headache.
Well it's a pretty song, and it made me want to watch her documentary 'Life is but a slay, from Bayonse' today :D
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with Beyonce and all of the African influenced sounds shes been teasing us with? :I
ReplyDeleteI like it, her voice is amazing as usual, the point of the song is good, though I must agree (with a below comment) the backing vocals can become overpowering but after second listen I began to like that.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who can hear some of "Loved me back to life" one this track? Cia and Celine must be FURIOUS right now. hehehehe
ReplyDeleteYour comment actually made me youtube it, I like it
ReplyDeleteCIA lmaoooo
ReplyDeleteU know what I meant. So, cut the crap before I slap your ass.
ReplyDeleteI think Sasha is still there but with a documentary that is supposed to be personal, this beautiful song is perfect. I've been singing the chorus ever since the snippet released and I'm glad we get a release at least. I personally really like it but I can see how it can turn people off.
ReplyDeleteFirst Mariah, now her...what's with the personal songs?
ReplyDeleteIlluminati.
ReplyDeleteLOL kidding. Music is always changing, and who knows? Maybe personal ballads could be the next big thing.
