Hard to believe it’s been two decades since Beyonce reigned over the Billboard 200 with her sophomore album – the September 1, 2006-released ‘BDAY.’
Silencing critics of her solo staying power at the time, the Destiny’s Child alum shined brighter than ever before with an LP chockfull of uptempo cuts that masterfully fused Pop, Rock, Soul, Latin, and more for what would become a delectable melting pot of sounds – a complete steer to the left, to the left of what fans were expecting as a follow-up to its more R&B-driven predecessor ‘Dangerously in Love’ (2003).
Home to hits like ‘Upgrade U,’ ‘Irreplaceable,’ ‘Get Me Bodied,’ and ‘Deja Vu,’ the project’s enduring legacy makes it a standout in Bey’s prized discography – a status toasted to via the official 20th anniversary edition released on Thursday (September 3).
Beyond remastering the original LP’s favorites like ‘Ring the Alarm,’ ‘Green Light,’ ‘Kitty Kat,’ and others, the expanded re-release boasts remixes, newer favorites like ‘Morning Dew (Donk),’ and even surprise collaborations with Tejano music Queen Selena, Maluma, and more.
