Beyonce’s I Am./sasha Fierce CD Release
Friday, January 11th, 2008
Monica Light asked:
Sasha Fierce is fierce…can you say that in the same sentence??? So the critics are saying. Others have a lukewarm response. What do you think?
Beyonce Reinvents Herself As Sasha Fierce
Every new cd release needs scandal and scuttle and I Am../Sasha Fierce is no different.
First there was the changing of Beyonce’s name. Speak her name not in vain.
“I have someone else that takes over when it’s time for me to work and when I’m on stage, this alter ego that I’ve created that kind of protects me and who I really am,” she said.
According to Beyonce, “Fierce” is the nickname she has given to the more racy side of her personality
“Sasha Fierce is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I’m working and when I’m on the stage,” she said.
And then there was the rumors of the song “If I Were A Boy” being written for Beyonce, or not for Beyonce.
The hype and tension has been mounting for weeks. And finally it’s here.
From what we can tell, the cd picks up where she’s left off in the past – booty shaking, head bobbing, club hopping jams mixed with a little bit of introspection and sentimentality. All in all, not a bad listen for hitting the club and jamming to once you get there.
Besides music, Beyonce…uhmmm…Sasha Fierce has been making a name for herself in films. You may recall seeing her in Carmen: A Hip Hop Rock Opera years ago and just recently, “Dream Girls.” Everyone thought…maybe even Beyonce..that she would get an Oscar nod for her work in “Dream Girls.” Jennifer Hudson, however, stole the show and proved everyone wrong.
Will I be picking up I Am../Sasha Fierce? You can bet on it. There’s just so much hype around it. I don’t want to miss a thing.
