Listen to "Rocket"
The lowdown: There’s no doubt what’s on Beyoncé’s mind in this dreamy bedroom jam: sex, sex and more sex. In nearly instructional detail, she takes listeners from soft pillow talk to heavenly climax, with all the meandering, slow-building rhythm and emotional investment of true
lovemaking. “Rocket” is sensuous and wondrous and incredibly romantic. Apparently, it's also an easy song to hate, if only you have no attention span.
ATRL says...: "A pure R&B sensual masterpiece, this is everything and more I wanted from Beyonce on this album,"
Penk wrote. "I adore every bit of the whole six and a half minutes of it." Others weren't convinced. "The lowest point of a such a wonderful string of songs. I
get it, I just...don't want it,"
August said. "The only one that still needs to grow on me,"
lovesong confessed. "I appreciate it for what it is and still give it a good score because its pretty good and with great lyrics, but I am not entirely sold on it just yet."
stereo.love advised, "Bey, stop trying to be overtly sexy, leave to those who are good at it."
Best bit: "Let me sit this aaaaaasss on ya!"
