audio review : Move ( song ) … Beyoncé ( featuring Grace Jones + Tems )

This song doesn’t really vibe until the chords drop halfway in. That’s when it goes from just a bassy party anthem; the scene is the ballroom of a five-star hotel; to something special. It’s an example of how effective the addition of one music instrument can be, but it should’ve sounded that way from the start.

The queen is faultless though as she struts a path thru the crowd. The title is literally her telling them to get out of the way, though it also serves as a command to dance. She’s headed to the VIP section, but not before grabbing a glass of Champagne and sharing a kiss with some guy who doesn’t look like Jay-Z.

audio review : Sextape 4 ( album ) ... The-Dream

The-Dream’s Sextape was supposed to be a Ménage À Trois, but here it is; part 4, which, given it’s predecessor is a threesome, comes across as conceptually excessive. Not that the girls won’t enjoy listening to it while getting their Brains fucked Out.

Not every song is about sex; Take Care and Nothing Will Feel The Same dabble in straight romance; but, aside from the album’s aforementioned mere existence, its only major flaw is that the interlude-like Notice and Spiritual set should be one song.

Sextape 4 gets off to a Passionate start. Yep, that’s Sean Combs doing his classic Bad Boy ad-libs in the background. Other aesthetic climaxes include Hard 4 Me; a song about The-Dream giving a girl a powerful orgasm; Ecstasy and Say Something.
