I have always loved Beyonce so Im definitely checking this album out. I dont agree with u on the solo music thing. Even though her work is not always on point, theres nobody on the music business who has been working more than this chick. And there's absolutely no album of hers without songs that u can truly enjoy, or dance or just play on ur car. Beyonce has evolved into a true artist, forget about that alter ego stuff she has, the woman is still on fire!
