I Am... Sasha Fierce - Beyonce

A review of the double album I Am...Sash Fierce by Beyonce Knowles, this refers to the deluxe version of the album featuring sixteen tracks as standard. There are a number of versions of this album on disc or to download with marginally different track listings. Beyonce has always been one of those artists who kind of passed me by, either as part of the R & B super group Destiny's Child, or as a solo artist. Besieged by press articles about her diva-like demands when on tour, I'd generally dismissed her as a pain in the backside and I've had a 'take it or leave it' relationship with her music ever since. I Am...Sasha Fierce is the singer's third ...  Read the complete review

Please note this review is for the original CD rather than the Special Deluxe Edition CD. I have always been a fan of Beyonce, especially when she was in Destinys Child. Therefore I was keen to get her latest release as soon as it came out. The album artwork is different to that in the picture above (that is the artwork from the special edition CD) and shows Beyonce holding back her hair in a black and white picture. My album artwork is more of a close up of her face than in the picture above. I paid around £10 for my album back when it was released (late 2008) however you can now purchase this edition for around £6.99 (play.com). The special edition can be ...  Read the complete review

Beyonce, former lead singer of Destiny's Child, went solo in 2003 and has been on top of the charts ever since. Multi-platinum albums, highly successful films, fragrances, a popular clothes line, and her position firmly cemented on Forbes. After the love inspired Dangerously In Love and her second record, the r'n'b focused B'Day, Beyonce has now combined the two and produced I Am..Sasha Fierce. The album is separated on two discs. The I Am side represents Beyonce's shy, reserved side present in interviews. The Sasha Fierce (named after Beyonce's alter ego) presents the fiery, wild Beyonce on stage. I Am Stand out tracks: If I Were ...  Read the complete review

Now I have always rated Beyonce, but I had never bought or downloaded her albums before. It all started when my mum had picked me up from uni to go home for a break. Well, the 2 hour journey flew with this album! I was very curious when I heard the first song, and just had to listen to every one in full. Absolutely Fabulous. Stunning. Pure Genius. Singing at it's absolute best. She is so talented, and I never really picked up on the extent until I heard this album. This is Beyonce's 3 solo album, and it was released on the 18th Nov 2008. I was curious as to why it was called "I am... Sasha Fierce", so I googled it thinking there wouldn't really be a story ...  Read the complete review
