Beyonce needs to re-vamp the concept of her music. I feel that she hasn't really fully leaped from the formula that gained her success with Destiny's Child. That is the gimmicky urban slang and catch phrases that's she's played with for so many years. it is cute but how cute it is when you're a mother and in your 30's. honestly it would be a great time for beyonce to mature your lyrical content and sound. I mean if you look at timeless jems from artists like Chaka Khan and Whitney Houston. The lyrics were simple but yet passionate and melodic. Of course those records has an array of people involved from producers, to instrument players, writers, and such. it takes a lot of more musically acknowledged talent to produce timeless records and honestly Beyonce has yet to bring an album that really brings that timeless feel. Beyonce is beautiful and can dance which is very important for an audience especially if she is touring. however we live in an age of disposal music that people digest music like chewing gum. Adele proved something this year that music with passion and talent really work more over beauty and dance moves. Beyonce's material needs to grow and so does she is she really wants to cater to a more international appeal. Simplicity is much much better than all the production. There is so much new talent for her to be inspired from and to utilize she's a fucking brand and doesnt need a brand name producer to compliment her. She's a baddass bitch and at this point she needs to hire no names with a fierce passion and talent and use them to catapult her to even higher grounds. at the end of the day she's the boss and no one else is at the moment. 4 was a rush effort in my opinion and not her best. Beyonce can bring is so much better and I hope she will.
