    This is a quick track by track review of Beyonce's new album. The way each song seamlessly blends into each other is a work of art. I'm really looking forward to the videos that she'll eventually release, and the live performances. I'm sure this will be loved by audiences when these songs are played in various clubs across the world this summer.

    I'm That Girl
    It's very light and airy, but has a rugged vocal sample running throughout.

    Cozy
    Very upbeat and vibrant house beat. The lyrics are confident and uplifting.

    Alien Superstar
    Aggressive and cocky. The different beats for the verses and choruses are really cool.

    Cuff It
    Disco funk. Feels like something Chic would make that'd get played at Studio54.

    Energy
    The beat sounds a bit like Amapiano. "Them Karen's just turned into terrorists" is a funny lyric.

    Break My Soul
    The lead single blends seamlessly into the album, and sounds even more energetic.

    Church Girl
    Despite it's holy beat and vocals, the "shake them tig ol bitties" lyrics are very sexy.

    Plastic Off The Sofa
    This has a very sipping a cocktail on a beach during sunset vibe.

    Virgo's Groove
    The album's longest track takes us on an epic funk voyage.

    Move
    Energetic and assertive. The production is earthy and the bridge is ethereal.

    Heated
    Up-tempo with a catchy chorus. Uncle Johnny is who the album is dedicated after.

    Thique
    Deep bass. Her cadence captures the variations of the various rhythms effortlessly.

    All Up In Your Mind
    Dark electro. The distorted and fractured vocals give this an eerie tone.

    America Has A Problem
    It's got a very energetic dystopian future techno feel to it.

    Pure/Honey
    Glitzy and glamorous house with a Prince vibe underneath.

    Summer Renaissance
    The Donna Summer and Georgio Moroder sample is exquisite. You sexy motherfucker.

    Beyonce releases the first visual teaser, for the song "I'm That Girl" from her latest album. There is a sequence in this that appears to be a homage to Everything Everywhere All At Once. I hope she'll create a full visual album for this project similar to when she made Lemonade, Black is King and the Homecoming documentary about her performance at Coachella.
