You can now preview Beyonce’s hotly anticipated new album ‘I Am…Sasha Fierce’ album in it’s entirety over at 7 Digital, the link for which you can find below:Wow! Granted the ‘Beyonce’ side of the record sounds pretty impressive, the ‘Sasha Fierce’ side sounds like it’ll be the real winner. I joke not when I say every single track from the Sasha CD sounds like the hotness. From the Darkchild produced ‘Scared of Lonely’ to the swagger-fied ‘Diva’ (which sounds like a female ‘A Milli’), ‘Video Phone’, next single ‘Ego’ and ‘Radio’ all sound great. Hell, the whole thing has me anticipating the record that much more. November 18th, well 17th for us UK folk couldn’t come any sooner.
Randomness: The previously heard ‘Beautiful Nightmare’ has been renamed ‘Sweet Dreams’ and will be featured on the Sasha Fierce CD
What do you think of the preview?

it really doesnt sound like anything special or anything new. she does the same thing over and over.
and the sasha fierce (i still cant get over the ridiculousness of that) part sounds like rejects from BDay. i was expectin somethin more i guess. she talks a big game and never delivers hahaha
every song on i am beyonce sounds exactly the same….
and everything on sasha is a crazy (meaning unstable, not fabulous) beat with her screaming
Anyone that listens to this album and claims that it’s the same thing as in the past is a n**! This s*** right here is FRESH. The Beyonce disc sounds like nothing Beyonce has done before. It’s amazing and so far the critics are loving the Beyonce disc and I can see why. SOngs like Dissappear, Halo, Satellites are such jewels just based off of the clips.
The Sasha disc is also amazing. Video Phone, Ego, DIVA, so many hot tracks. Bey really done did it this time. She could have a classic on her hands.
“Diva is a female version of a hustla” That’s right Bey, you are a hustla!
THIS.IS.WACK.
i cant wait for it to leak and everyone downloads it. people shoudnt have to pay for this wack ish
i wonder if sam gets paid to be up beyonce’s ass on this page
Based off the snippets, I'm liking it! I also disagree with those who say this sounds like her previous work. The "Beyonce" side is like nothing she's ever done; its not r&b, not really pop either…kind of a mix of both w/ alternative. Definitely, she's stepping out of the box on this one, which, I think is commendable! True artist will take risk, regardless of what the outcome may be. The "sasha fierce" side is great! I love the beats, love the LYRICS, I like that side of her. Since she doesn't open up too much in interviews, it's good that she does it through her music. Regardless of what anyone says though, best believe that once it drops, this album is gonna SELL, and her tour is gonna be HUGE!!!
I want this soooo much. November 14th is the release date in germany cuz we’re lucky to get new cd’s on fridays :)))) ..counting the days
SAM U R A STAR!!!
DIVA
VIDEO PHONE R MY FAV
ALL THE SONGS R FRESH YAL R TALKIN S***!!!
CANT STOP LISTENING TO THE PREVIEWS…lol!
it sounds ok, i need to hear it in full, but so far it sounds pretty decent, still solange and michelle have had the better albums this year in my opinion, regardless, all of them are very talented.
omg. it’s NOTHING like b’day.
the songs are TOTALLY different for her.
and yes, to those haters, i do agree to some extent that the ‘i am…’ part sounds a bit the same when she does that thing when she extends the end of her words. but hey, i LOVE it when she does that.
her vocal capability has surely matured and grown. very evident.
the ‘sasha’ part is intriguing, cause it sounds fun but i need to hear the songs in full to like them more. nonetheless, both parts are one of the hest things she’s ever done before.
i have to disagree with sam tho.. haha. i prefer the ‘i am…’ part better.
it gives me super chills. i can’t wait for the album to be released.
oh and as for the person who said
“i cant wait for it to leak and everyone downloads it. people shoudnt have to pay for this wack ish”
i think you sound pretty foolish. even if people download it, they’re still going to buy it, well at least most of them.
as i already expressed, i’m overly satisfied with beyonce’s album.
Not like B’Day at all. Dumb asses. Really. If you want to hate find something to grasp onto.
Hot damn, Disappear sounds like the hottest thing ever.
Oh and really person, you can’t claim Solange and Michelle’s album are better when you haven’t even heard this in full. 30 seconds are not songs people.
o m a dayss this album is gonna be hugee!! wow the songs sound amazing..shes really takin it to the next level…i’m so excited!!
halo sounds amazing…omg i cant wait!! her voice is at its peak…i agree this album could be a classic
her voice soungs great!
I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS! BEYONCE IS THE BEST THIS IS A GOOD PEICE OF WORK!
one word; Legendary
2 words; Fabolous voice
3 words; Fall back haters
If someone told me to pick a fav…i guess i would choose Scared of Lonely…Darkchild made an awesome beat there…Diva and Radio seem really good too…overall it’s prob the best album of this year n maybe of 2009 too…lol…only Brandy n Britney seem to be tryin to deliver somethin good too…i guess it’s the “B” year…isn’t it strange they all got names with B?????
This is going to be a classic, she got her swagger back, although it never left. Is grown up, I think its time for people to realize she older married and probably in a different place. I like this direction:)
i am so ready
Hello and Diva are great. I am looking forward to the album. The snippets are a great preview of a wonderful album.
Beyonce just need 2 give it up! She’s a great singer and performing but a lousy songwriter! If I Were a Boy is the only good song on the album while everything else just sound like leftovers from B’day..She said she spent over a year working on this album??/Please only more like 1 week.
Her vocals have grown so much, and the songs are great, of what I heard.
This is not a continuation of B-Day this is the beginning of I AM…
She grew and some wants to keep her in the B-Day era.
I hope she does great on first week sales..
her cd sounds W.A.C.K. and anyone that says they like it is a obsessed fan. it is extreamly hard to listen to the songs on it… so now she’s trying to do pop..good luck on that one beyonce.. does anyone knw when she will stop screaming? but she has had 1 great cd… and that was her first one.
to the perso who said this :
“every song on i am beyonce sounds exactly the same….and everything on sasha is a crazy (meaning unstable, not fabulous) beat with her screaming”
I SO SECOND THAT !!!
PLAIN BORING and NONE OF TEH SONGS REALLY WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME. NONE OF THE SONGS SOUND OUTSTANDING.
IM ABOUT TO PRE-ORDER MY DELUXE EDITION NOW MATE!
I love 'Ave Maria' & 'Smash Into You' on the I AM… side!
And on the Sasha side… 'Diva', 'Video Phone' & 'Ego'…..
I can't wait for the to 'Ego' video dats sounds BIG!!!
I’m in love with “HELLO!”
And geeezzz yall are goin off of 20-30 sec previews….I think the CD sounds hott and NEW AND DIFFERENT!!! doesn’t sound like anything I’ve heard from her yet…and trust I’ve HEARD EVERYTHING FROM HER…I”M THE ULTIMATE FAN…SHE BRINGING IT HARD…GROWING UP…SHE’s MRS. CARTER NOW!!!
Halo sound like No Air
Disappear – Boring
Broken-Hearted Girl- sound like that dawson creek theme
I love how beyonce said this album is her lmao
My review so far is all these songs sound like it’s for an country artist she could of stay in her lane and grew lyricly but no she just jack an whole album of songs
And all her slow songs sound the same
Radio- An solange song
Diva- A Jay-z song if he was a female the cockyness
Sweet Dreams- hmm it’s ok but not beyonce
Video Phone- B-day leftover
Hello- Love it
Ego- baby ish grow up maybe about jay-z or Kanye
Scared Of Lonely- The best track on it this should be a hit it is a mix of new and old
All The up-tempo songs still have that ghetto girl accent like ay yo and ish nothing new
So this album is not looking good so far and is not gonna make her an icon it’s not her Whitney Houston The Bodyguard Or Madona Like a Prayer Or Janet Jackson Control-The Velevt Rope
Next time Bee
Diva has Lil’s Waynes’ ” A MILLI” beat, wtf? I think this cd is okay, nothing groundbreaking.
I take that back, it’s rather boring.
pahh no way…it sounds hot! its def beyonce at her best…shes gna kill every1 with this album
and to all the haters…compare this preview to the trash that is rihanna’s good girl gone bad…the 30 sec preview is better than rihannas whole album! LOL
I’m not even a Beyoncé fan, but I’m kinda feelin’ what I’ve heard so far. I don’t think it sounds anything like B’Day really, I think it sounds way better, but everyone’s entitled to their opinion.
I’ve LOVED Beautiful Nightmare/Sweet Dreams from the get-go so I am so effin’ glad she decided to put it on the album, lol. The only one I’m not really feelin’ is ‘Diva’…but it’s only like a 30 second preview, so I’ll wait ’til I hear the rest of the song before I judge it fully. Overall, I’m pleasantly surprised with this. Of course it’s not perfect and it’s not the greatest imo, but there’s just something about it.
ARE YOU PEOPLE SICK OR SOMETHING…THIS ALBUM IS THE CRUNKNESS….
HELLO IS THE BEST TRACK FROM THE PREVIEWS, THATS GENIUS. BEYONCE IS A WINNER, SO GIVE UP THE PUTTING DOWN SYSTEM ALREADY, DAMN BE HAPPY FOR HER! “I AM…”
this album is MARVELOUS!!! can’t waitt!!!
Woooow, sound really good!!! Looking good for Beyonce with this new CD.
What was the point of bringing out Rihanna’s name and one of the greatest pop albums of 2007? Your a f****** idiot.
This album is….blah, Sasha’s s*** sounds like Bday rejects, the Beyonce side allright, but not great. Stans fall back and wake up.
It’s just typical Beyonce.
WTF IS THIS B*******????????????????????????????
I HEAR BRANDY………….
LEONA
RIHANNA
ALICA KEYS
KERI HILSON
KELLY ROWLAND
LIL WAYNE
GARBAGE
SHE DOEZ NOT SOUND RITE TRYING 2 BE GHETTO 🙄 ………………………….
YEAH I AGREEE I AM SO SICK OF HER……THESE SONGS SOUND LIKE CRAPOLA…..NOT FEELING THIS AT ALL ILL BUMP GGGB OVA THIS B******* !! ! !! ! ! !
Actually I think this is a big departure for her…I already have my pre order. I’m loving “Halo”, “Scared Of Lonely” and “Sweet Dreams”.
It’s nice to hear her try out new things on the ‘Beyonce’ tracks but the Sasha tracks are pure rubbish – talk about recycling beats!
Not really impressed with the previews but will definately check out the full version when it is released, ‘If I Were A Boy’ and ‘Single Ladies’ seem to be definately the best cuts on there which makes sense for their release – ‘If I Were A Boy’ will get people checking for this album so it will do well regardless. All the songs on the ‘Beyonce’ side sound the same but can’t deny her voice is amazing. ‘Scared Of Lonely’ sounds HOT. But I would listen to Rihanna’s ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ over this any day.
A lot of people said this about B-Day and it sold over 6mil with only 1 #1 hit, so hopefully there will not be any lawsuits to hender sales.
3mil of it was in the states, so go figure.
This is a grown up CD of what little I'm hearing and it is catering to a vast area of people, country, rock, R&B, pop, even opera somewhat, so this is different.
Go Beyonce, some get it, some dont!! Go figures…
I’m listening to the previews all day long… must be a great album. so plz stop hating, it doesn’t sound like b’day at all… really looking forward to it :)))))))))))))
Wow, its horrible! I was expecting so much more from her. Wtf?
i can’t figure out where the songs are… can someone help me plz???
i cant either
try this and click the play button for beyonce T.B.A.

To anonymous 11:07…uhhhhh every one has there own taste and preference. You listened to them all day? Good for you. Me on the other hand listened once and when on about my life. It just didn’t strike me as I guess it striked you and I’m okay with that and can understand that. So PLEASE stop calling people haters just because they don’t agree with YOUR opinion. :)))))))))) I mean wtf?
I’m sorry I meant anon 10:44.
I just found out after like an hour!!!! LOL go to the bottom and go to get the beyonce widget!!! 😀
a diva a diva a diva a diva a diva a milli a milli
First and formost I AM NOT A BEYONCE FAN… But, Crazy In Love was a wicked song. However, when she dropped Deja Vu is was really just “Crazy In Love pt. 2” The song had the Same formula and insturmental backings as it’s successorso right there I thought “Ok, she’s a one trick pony.” B’Day was a solid effort, it had people dancing and lovin her but really, EVERY SONG on that album was a chicken head anthem. Deja Vu, Suga Mama, Upgrade U, Ring The Alarm and everything in between the album should have been called TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME (Like The Movie) because every song was either for her chickenhead fans, fellow gold-diggers or educational tips on how to manipulate a dude. So, with her latest effort I am NOT surprized by the same writing process,HOWEVER, I am surprized the musical production is so bland. With her previous work she was able to hide her lack of creativity with hot beats. PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE AND DON’T BUY HER ALBUM, I SAY THIS A WORKING PUBLICIST FOR SONY BMG CANADA.
okkk then…random post above..??!!
The only song I was feeling was DISSAPPEAR everything else sound too popish, typical, repetitive sounds heard on the radio over and over again. Yeah I was not feeling it…sorry.
I am a huge Beyonce fan . . . why, because the girl is talented as hell and puts on an amazing performance. I listened to the songs and I hnoestly can’t form an opinion because the ballads somewhat run together and you can’t get a clear listen. I will wait until the album drops and buy it, the same I do for all the artist I support. Once I have listened, I will give an opinion. Some of you guys need to be honest with yourselves and asmit the girl has one of the best voices of her time. Whether you like her music or movies or neither, stiopping taking away fro mthe fact that she puts on a fabulous show and sings her ass off.
I agree, she delivers the same old crap like always, I realy dn”t understand why people like her? her voice is annoying, her ass looks like it will tear apart any moment and het head looks like a monkeyhead, I don”t see any talent or hotness in this woman who is tricking the whole world…
The previews are OK, nothing special. I ‘m wondering if Beyonce will give herself songwriting credit for “Smash into You”. That song was previously recorded by Jon McLaughlin called “Smack into You”. Her song- writing is questionable to me now.
Wow I see some people make hating a fulltime job..anyways Sam keeping doing ur damn thing and eff this people who make hating a habit.
To the general commenting audience: If you think the tracks previewed above sound like B-day then you clearly have never listened to the damn cd. Secondly to say beyonce can’t sing is to say rihanna can…so whoever says that is clearly dillusional.
I personally can’t wait for the release and want bey to keep the hits coming because Im of the belief that people should live full and die empty.
love the site Sam, keep up the good work
Sasha please! Beyonce no! Only this could excite you and some of your lame ass readers
CNT ACTUALY WAIT GUNNA BUY 10 COPIES! LOOOL.
OHHHHHHH SHIIIIIT BEYONCE HAS DONE IT AGAIN BUT TO THE MAX. NOW I DON’ T KNOW ABOUT THE “I AM” DISC THAT’S GONE HAVE TO GROW ON ME, I LIKE IT BUT IT’S A VERY DIFFERENT BEYONCE. BUT ON THE “SASHA FIERCE” DISC OHHHHHHHH SHITTTTTT BEYONCE IS OFF THE WALLS ESPECAILLY ON ” DIVA” OH BOY SHE DONE STARTED SOMETHING WITH THAT ONE.THE WOMEN ARE GONNA BE FELLING IT TO THE MAX. I AM SO GEEEEKED FOR THE ALBUM I KNEW MY BABY BEYONCE WOULDN’T DISSAPOINT ME. IF I WAS CIARA OR ANY OTHER SINGER THEY BETTER WATCH OUT BECAUSE BEYONCE IS KILLING THEM WITH THIS ONE. ALL I CAN SAY IS GET READY BECAUSE BEYONCE IS BACK. HI HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
OMG i didn’t realise how many people hated on beyonce! Anyways don’t care what anyway says she’s the best to me i cannot wait to get this album and hear it in full!! woooooo!!!
Haters: Too much time on ya hands!
I have to agree with Sam on this one, this is gonna be the HOTNESS. The clips in full will probably sound a whole lot better as well. Diva does sound like Beyonce’s take on ‘A Milli’ however. Keep up the great work Sam,
Okay I have to be honest…. I love beyonce & all but these snippets do not make me anticipate her album; but then again these are snippets, I need to hear everything in full.
this is a damn pop n not an interesting 1 ugh a nightmare i like a diva snippet tho
she normally gets sued 3 times with each album she puts out so lets start taking bets which songs she is gettin sued for stealin this time. the a milli beat definitely. which others do you all think?
omg is anyone else super annoyed with the way she sings “hello” hahahah omg it is sooo whiney and annoying. i love the rodney jerkins beat but ugh. the lyrics are wack
The “I Am…Beyonce” disc is BORING. But i’m feelin’ the “I Am…Sasha Fierce” disc preview more.
Uh Oh Bey done did it AGAIN!
(rolls eyes) Ain’t nobody hatin’. It’s just we see THE TURTH. This album is full of b******* B’day leftovers.
Amazing album!!!
I’m a huge fan of Beyonce because how amazing as an artist she is, but I must addmit that B’Day was one of the worst CDs I’ve ever heard… But, this one… OMG!!! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!
I can’t wait to listen to it in full time!!!
She has one of the best voices I’ve heard!!!!
ok the term ‘b’day leftovers’ is gettin annoying now…face it beyonce is bringing it bak big this time
btw does anyone know if shes performing at the world music awards??
am excited bout her EMA performance!!!!
From what I can tell from these clips, it sounds like Beyonce is doing same old same old. Nothing new or special to look for here. Its ashame. I miss the days of DC.
Sucks.. Nothing special as usual.
i think beyonce is just a marketing tool.. i dont like any of the songs.. but i bet u when the album drops id probably buy it..lol.. hearing the album in high quality and full id probably change my mind.. beyonce fans like her whether she makes a good song or not..beyonce has star power and is immortal in the music industry it seems.. so i cant hate on her just because im nto her.
@ publicist Sony BMG CANADA…well thas why your in Canada aye….please this Album is everything she wants it to be…Please understand, when you sell enough records and made your mark, you can create whatever the hell you want…long as you got the ability to sell it…and that is something that she can do…and no one can deny it…the live shows on these tracks will be off the charts…as for people saying that she is not creative? same old’ Beyonce? really? I say, who else is doing Beyonce? its her style…and it is not the same. and I’m not feeling every song…but I hear her growth, risks and creativity…I want same to stop posting on her…cause hater cannot wait for her to fail…so upset that people actually love this girl, they are willing to dismiss her because the masses love her…get over it…and go listen to someone you like. Bey will be around always…she has left her mark and still taking it higher…lol She is creative, very. If she gets inspiration from someone she just makes it better…It kills me when yall say she aint creative….
no one sings like her
dances like her
writes like her
performs like her
period and we all know it….
wack wack wack lol
damn everybody that dont like Beyone is a hater i see …this albums stinks..solange cd was better sorry…
You there, your not understanding! It’s the exact same thing that she always does. It’s nothing new!
That was to 3.27
load of s***
I never comment.. ever but some of yall are nothing but HATERS.. If a site posts music by.. let’s say Ashanti.. I don’t listen. I don’t have anything against Ashanti but I am not a fan so I don’t listen, I skip that post. Why come into a Beyonce post if you hate her so much? How can you dislike a person you don’t even know?? Don’t you realize all that energy attracts LIKE energy and that’s why YOU (yes you) are miserable?
Some of the comments are so in depth and detailed yet so negative and hateful… why even listen?
People who do things like that are unhappy with themselves.. There is no reason for people to dislike Beyonce so much. I am a fan but far from a stan.. Beyonce has her moments where I raise an eyebrow but .. damn.. go comb your hair and learn to love yourself..
-flychicksincebirth

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS ALBUM, I AM TOTALLY LOVING THE 30 SECOND SNIPPETS, I KNOW I WILL LOVE THE WHOLE ALBUM!!! NOVEMBER 18TH I CAN’T WAIT!!!
YOU READY FOR BEYONCE WORLD DOMINATION?!
SMGDH, why would you waise your money and buy three copies of a CD in the middle of a recession?
As said before, this is a mess. I’ll bootleg it, but that’s it. The previews are horrid, nothing but Bday leftovers.
OMG!! Beyonce is that you girl? She sound mad different on half of these songs. I dunno if its a different swag she feelin or what? But she had me thinkin her cd was finna be wack but I guess I was wrong. I might have to spend my little bit of change I got left for her album lol. Alright Beyonce for switchin it up. My likey! lol
“Right To Dream,” the original ballad Mariah co-wrote with Willie Nelson for her film “Tennessee”, went for adds at Adult Contemporary radio on Monday, October 20th. Listen to a 30-second clip and find the song’s lyrics at MariahDaily. 🙂
sounds just like all of her other s***, she never does anything new its just the same old crap after crap
Note to EVERYONE: a diva is NOT a female version of a hustla. And Video Phone…this coming from a grown ass woman who just got married and supposedly has evolved into a what? Someone will have to fill in the blanks because i just don’t get it. Beyonce did some biting for Sasha Fierce. She’s catering to the teenagers of today instead of young women her age. This girl has a lot of growing to do cuz that ring has done nothing so far. And how is exactly that Beyonce’s music is better than Solange’s, who by the way dropped an amazing album?!
Bey always has theee MOST comments on blogs 😀
get it Bey!!!
*sips coffee waiting for the 18th*
I found this comment in the critique section interesting “swagger-fied ‘Diva’ (which sounds like a female ‘A Milli’)”. Isn’t that called swagger-jacking and not swagger-fied?!?!?!?
Moving along, I only liked Halo. The rest was blah. Some of you are right that you can’t tell by 30 second snippets, but I am one of those types who only needs that much to know if I like it or not.
None of the songs are as memorable or emotional as If I Was A Boy, which wasn’t even written by her.
This album reminds me of B’Day and that is there is only ONE song that is really good and the rest is filler.
I don’t see another “Irreplaceable” saving this album, but looking at the comments from the die-hards, they will scoop it up regardless.
By the way, hater is so played out. Can you find something new, learn to accept comments that are different from your own or just plain STFU!!!!!!!!
I come here to listen and critique just like you and like you I will leave my comments. They may not be what you like, but the last time I checked the world didn’t end because of it……mmm k?
I must be honest when I first heard the snippets off the album I wasn't sure. I however decided to listen to it a few more times and now most of it seems to be growing on me! It is very different from that of Bday, a lot more mature. I think the reason it has received so much negative criticism is due to how different it is to most commercial material at the moment and Beyonce is usually associated with the contemporary crowd. The concept of a split album is a brilliant idea! Not everyone is a fan of Beyonce's ballad stuff… Personally I am and I think that this album has some of the best of her ballads ever! Her voice also seems to have matured in some ways, it sounds as though she is a lot more comfortable with her vocal range. Bday although a fantastic album had a rushy feeling very high strung in some places. I would even go as far as to say that the album is very diverse as it seems to be influenced by so many different styles and genres of music. Beyonce seems to have shifted a little bit away from the 'Deep' R&B and soul found in that of 'Bday' Halo definitely stands out for me, it really introduces the idea of a fresh style ballad for Beyonce. 'I Am' being compared to 'Circus', Britney's new album is really stupid; they are like chalk and cheese! I being a fan of both artists can say with definite certainty that they are by no means similar, Britney's album is going to be fantastic no doubt about that but people will listen to that album for different reasons. I think that people have forgotten what music is all about at times, it is about expression of the artist and if you don't like what they have expressed then clearly you don't relate to it. Just remember you don't have to listen to it and you are not obligated to buy it.
I have not downloaded any songs; I want to wait for the album to be released.
