I mean, that&#8217;s the trend to go, right? Kanye did it! The Weeknd did it. Even Jay-Z tried that in his Magna Carta album.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p1JPKLa-Ofc\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, this album is full of sensual vibes, sexual\/erotic lyrics and a lot of B&#8217;s fantasies. I heard &#8220;Blow&#8221; and the groove made me say: &#8220;Oh! This is a funky song and here&#8217;s some neo-disco groove that reminds me of Marvin Gaye or smth&#8221;. And then there are the lyrics. It&#8217;s a song about oral sex. So i saw a Beyonce who&#8217;s past over songs about reaching your goals and just highlighting sex songs in some sick beats. In &#8220;Drunk in love&#8221;, Beyonce &amp; Jay shows us that they can still keep the fire burning: &#8220;We woke up in the kitchen\/Saying, &#8216;How in hell did this shit happen?'&#8221; Jay Z adds some Ike-and-Tina references as he and Queen B. start teasing each other from the front door: &#8220;Foreplay in the foyer, fucked up my Warhol&#8221; to the bathtub, where Beyonce says &#8220;Then I fill the tub up halfway then ride it with my surfboard&#8221;. And among sexual lines as &#8220;Can you lick my Skittles?&#8221;, there are social songs as well. &#8220;Flawless&#8221; begins with a speech from Nigerian feminist author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and &#8220;Blue&#8221; is a song about her love about her daughter. Blue Ivy can be heard at the end of the song. But let&#8217;s get back to naughty vibes, shall we?!<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a slow jam on the album, called &#8220;Rocket&#8221;. And i said ok! She&#8217;s getting serious now. But I was wrong: &#8220;Let me sit this ass on you&#8221; is the opening line. So it&#8217;s cool to see different sides of Beyonce, even the naughty ones. &#8220;Partition&#8221; is one of my favorite songs. It&#8217;s produced by The-Dream &amp; Timbaland and is the kind of song that makes me think: &#8220;That&#8217;s the type of woman i want. I woman with this kind of attitude!&#8221;. So there is a video on Beyonce&#8217;s official YouTube channel and she explains how to song came out. She heard the beat and reminded of a fantasy where she and Jay get kind of rough in the back of the limousine. She has to warn the driver, &#8220;Driver roll up the partition please\/I don&#8217;t need you seeing &#8216;Yonce on her knees.&#8221; And just before they reach to the club Beyonce describe us how she puts it, &#8220;He Monica Lewinsky&#8217;d all over my gown.&#8221; And there&#8217;s this crazy-shit experience that surrounds the song with lots of sexuality: &#8220;Oh he so horny, he want to fuck\/ He bucked all my buttons, he ripped my blouse&#8221;, or when she says: &#8220;Handprints and footprints on my glass \/ Handprints and good grips all on my ass \/ Private show with the music blasting \/ He like to call me Peaches when we get this nasty \/ Red wine drip, talk that trash&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0eZ0mzI37-A\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mqXSMAk6KVA\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>All in all, Beyonce did a great job, she proves us the she can&#8217;t send us in the Beyonce-routine zone so she can be something new everytime, she can be sensual and she can be a mother in top of all. And how she loss weight si quickly? It&#8217;s amazing! And soeaking of singwriting: those songs learns us to be creative and shameless. We have to surprise people and deliver a feeling, right?!
