    One word describes this work of art: EXCELLENT! Beyoncé always pushes herself and her team, how did she film all of these videos while on a world tour?

    আমার মাথা হাত দিয়ে কাটনা হয়, আমি সারাংশ নিষ্কাশন করা
    মাছি আমি ঘুমিয়ে পড়া না করার চেষ্টা করে.
    এটা আসলে অন্যান্য পালক - রং শিশির দিয়ে ঢেকে দেওয়া হয়... হাতের কাজ দুর্দশা আমি জানিনা আমি কার ডাকছি. এটা কি স্বর্গ? কোন বৃত্ত? একদিন আপনি খুঁজুন, প্রিয় বন্ধু. আপেল, অন্তরে সব রাতে চোট না, রহস্য কে শীতল, মোমবাতি পোড়া. টুইট থেকে লিংক কপি করুন এবং ঘটনাক্রমে " প্রেম বাদ."    আমার মাথা হাত দিয়ে কাটনা হয়, আমি সারাংশ নিষ্কাশন করা
    মাছি আমি ঘুমিয়ে পড়া না করার চেষ্টা করে.

    এটা আসলে অন্যান্য পালক -
    রং শিশির দিয়ে ঢেকে দেওয়া হয়...

    হাতের কাজ দুর্দশা
    আমি জানিনা আমি কার ডাকছি.

    এটা কি স্বর্গ? কোন বৃত্ত?
    একদিন আপনি খুঁজুন, প্রিয় বন্ধু.

    আপেল, অন্তরে সব রাতে চোট না,
    রহস্য কে শীতল, মোমবাতি পোড়া.

    টুইট থেকে লিংক কপি করুন
    এবং ঘটনাক্রমে " প্রেম বাদ."

    Hard work and smash hits. Congrats! Beyonce now understands what is music industry like. She releases one of the best albums in 2013 and claims status of new queen of R&B.

    Beyoncé's fifth solo album surely has a new sound as she attempts to create a sound that is unique to her voice and message. The major failure on this album has to come from the length of many songs and their features as well. The album seems very experimental and I need a perfected version of this record to fully appreciate what Bey is trying to give us with her latest project.

    Beyoncé’s self tilted album is her best body of work. From start to finish she delivers amazing vocals, beats that make you want to dance, while also giving meaning to the words that are being sung. Packaged with a video for each song adding another layer to the genius.

    Self-Titled was revolutionary in the way it was dropped by complete surprise by a major artist, and Bey sent the WORLD into a spin. The album is also still incredible years on.

    At its dizzying zenith, Beyoncé is a loaded fusion of generosity and self-empowerment. or perhaps, more accurately, it finds self-empowerment in generosity.

    It's this continued need to feed her multi-platinum beast that stops the album from being the post-modern wheeze it could have been. [Mar 2014, p.94]

    Though there are a million details about BEYONCÉ to examine--from the release strategy to the visual aspect and more--the strongest ideas are still found solely in the music. She addresses topics like beauty, body image, miscarriages, jealousy, sexuality, marriage, motherhood and self-worth.
