Details: Product Description Beyonce Amazon.ca History may prove Beyonc’s B’Day to be a rare double-whammy of an achievement. Not only is it destined to hold up as one of the thumpingest, most polished-sounding discs of 2006, it’s also bound to loose a new phrase into the popular lexicon: a « freekum dress » (n.), as described on a same-named track halfway through this excellent CD, is a « right-fittin' » garment owned by every woman; « when they act wrong, that’s when you put it on. » Linguistic hijinks aside, here is Beyonc as the public rarely sees her: fully liberated and artistically fearless. « Ring the Alarm, » a big-banging, fire-alarm-clanging wake-up call to a cheating man, finds her seething; « Kitty Kat, » a feline-like size-up of a stale relationship helped along by the still innovative Neptunes, shows her spurned; the womanly, fire-in-the-belly come-on « Suga Mama » gets her way, way worked up; and the crackling, vocally volcanic « Resentment » steeps her in Aretha-caliber soul. For all the disc’s solo trailblazing, though, where it really soars is on one of two duets with Jay-Z: While « Up Grade U » chugs along entertainingly enough about the good life (« I’m talkin’ spa bags and fly pads and rooms at the Bloomberg »), opener « Deja Vu » blasts out a bomp-bomp beat nobody with a head to nod could resist. Cake, candles, and Cristal or no, B’Days rarely get this good. –Tammy La Gorce More from Beyonc and Destiny’s Child Dangerously in Love, Beyonc #1’s, Destiny’s Child Destiny Fulfilled, Destiny’s Child Survivor, Destiny’s Child Live in Atlanta (DVD), Destiny’s Child Destiny’s Child: The Platinum’s on the Wall (DVD)
