I don't really like it. But it's better than RTW, I guess.
Some places in the song she sang somewhat un-Beyonce-ish, like she's another artist. I don't know what to feel about that but I guess she's getting bored with her signature tone. I'm kinda conflicted with that. It kinda cuts off the flow.
Hopefully other songs from her album does better on my taste bud.
Just listened to it again and it's radio friendy for sure....
but my point is... It's summer
Maybe the third time will be the charm for B? (Or wait, is this 4?)
She clearly isn't trying to be radio-friendly this era. Not a single one of the songs has sounded like the typical Top 40 music of today. Not even this new one.
