Beyoncé - "4" 91/100
Top 3: EOT, CD, LOT
Quote:
'4' is Beyonce's best album to date. '4' surpasses 'Dangerously In Love', 'B'Day' and 'I Am... Sasha Fierce' by leaps and bounds. The best R&B album of 2011. Reminiscent of 70's, 80's and 90's R&B and soul, '4' is a throwback to the days when live instrumentation, brilliant lyricism and exceptional vocal ability ruled American airwaves. Every song is beautifully written, produced and sang. '4' is mostly about monogamy, love and relationships. The album is diverse; '4' consists of powerful ballads like '1+1' and 'I Miss You', smooth old-school R&B jams like 'Party' and 'Rather Die Young', rousing girl power anthems like 'Best Thing I Never Had' and 'Run the World (Girls)' and club bangers like 'Countdown' and 'End of Time'. Beyonce flaunts her astonishing vocal talent on tracks like 'Start Over', 'Love On Top' and 'I Was Here'. The songs on the Target Deluxe Edition are not to be ignored either. 'Lay Up Under Me', a funk-filled song pulled straight out of the disco, 'Schoolin' Life' a fun rock-tinged song reminiscent of Prince and the slow and sexy 'Dance for You' enhance the overall work greatly.
Beyonce has proven herself as a musician and an artist. Her vocal skill and technique, talent for composition and ear for arrangement are unmatched by most of today's Pop and R&B acts. 4 is a stellar album. If you haven't bought it already, buy it now.
