Beyonce’s surprise…(Review)
My mouth dropped open when I heard that Beyoncé had released an album overnight, while I was tucked in my bed and that it was also accompanied with visuals.
My mouth dropped open when I heard that Beyoncé had released an album overnight, while I was tucked in my bed and that it was also accompanied with visuals. I hurried and copped the album, and that Friday evening I sat and watched the videos way before listening to the album. Well! Well! Well! She machete’d through my creative mind with the artsy creativity that she brought on the visual side of things. I mean, REALLY B? How much more innovative can you get, but when you think about it. Her just as innovative husband, Sean Carter recently blessed us with his performance art piece, “Picasso Baby” and then documented it and sent that out on HBO. So why wouldn’t his equally beautiful wife, follow in his artistic footsteps and up the anty? Why the HELL not!?
Every visual that she performed was thought provoking, artistic, thought through from the beginning to the end. The music game has been awaken due in part to this strategic play on the music industry, as to release her material when she’s ready without promotion or fanfare. Brilliance at its best!
BRAVO, Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter for achieving that next level for other artists to reach…
