Beyonce — I Am... Sasha Fierce

I Am... Sasha Fierce is Beyonce's third solo album, but it's not a charm. The two-part record is meant to show the real Beyonce on the first disc and her on-stage "Sasha Fierce" alter-ego on the second. But listening to the first CD is like being stuck as a third wheel on a date where one half of the couple is bipolar. The mood shifts...

Beyonce — B'Day Anthology Video Album

Ever the over-achiever, Beyonce's one-upped herself once again by re-releasing her latest album in video format. Queen B, as she's referred to on the DVD menu, shot all 12 videos in just a few weeks, but you can't tell by looking at them. From the feline-inspired "Kitty Kat" to #1 hit "Deja Vu," each vid is fittingly slick and...

Beyonce — B'Day

An R&B record with less than five producers is a rarity, so it's no surprise the liner notes on Beyonce's sophomore solo disc, B'Day, lists a whopping seven beatmeisters (Darkchild, check; The Neptunes, check). Much like her first album, two sort-of hooky singles ("Deja Vu" and "Ring The Alarm") stand out while the...

WATCH: Victoria's Secret Fashion Show features Jay-Z, Kanye West and Nicki Minaj

I Fought The Law... For The Week Ending April 29, 2011

It sucks when you're a former member of Destiny's Child. Everyone only cares about Beyonce, and when you do make the news it's because you've been arrested for disorderly conduct, like Farrah Franklin was last Saturday. But then again, sometimes it also sucks to be Beyonce. Sure, she might be married to Jay-Z and have shit tons of money and all...

I Read The News Today... For Jan. 25, 2011

Rancid guitarist Lars Frederiksen has formed a new band called The Old Firm. They're an "Oi!" punk band. We know this because their Facebook page describes their genre as "Oi! Oi! Oi!" Anyway, they'll be releasing a seven-inch vinyl single "soon." Those of you who were really confused by Calgary indie rock band Braids, and were all like, "I...

Lady Gaga Featuring Beyonce — "Telephone"

Beyonce's Sister On New Of Montreal Album

Solange, Beyonce's sister, will appear on Of Montreal's upcoming follow-up to 2008's Skeletal Lamping. Don't think that's weird, either, since Solange recorded a cover of Dirty Projectors' "Stillness Is The Move" last year, so she's well-acquainted with strange indie rock and neo-psychedelia. The disc, which could be titled False...

Beyonce Featuring Lady GaGa — "Video Phone"

Beyonce's clip for "Video Phone" starts as a weird Reservoir Dogs homage and then warps into some kind of bizarre dance/weird-off with Lady GaGa. Beyonce seems to be mocking Katy Perry, M.I.A. and Rihanna, and it's actually kind of hilarious. And there's not quite the same level of near-hip-dislocation in this video as there was in...
