BEYONCE: (Singing) Baby, come over.
KIANA FITZGERALD: So “Virgo’s Groove” is only a superb little chunk of dance, disco, house, funk, soul. Like, it’s simply widely inclusive of the multitude of things that many individuals love, particularly me. I love every one of the components that she included here. Furthermore, it’s the same amount of Mary Jane Girls as it is Donna Summer. What’s more, I mean, you know, there’s, similar to, this exceptionally nebulous sensation of, you know, simply needing to communicate her thoughts and needing to reach a point where she can be free and be pretty much as freed as could really be expected. Furthermore, I consider both those acts address that. So this melody is one of my top choices. I feel like once I, you know, pay attention to this collection over and over and once more, it will be the one that I return to. However, in general, this tune is magnifique.

BEYONCE: (Singing) Right here, at this moment, chilled up, clamp down, child, secure in the present moment. I need it on the spot, nestled up on the love seat, speedboat, child, steer around, slow-mo comin’ out my pullover. I need it on the spot. Child, come over. I can be the one that take you there. I can be the one that takes you there on this enchanted ride.
FITZGERALD: It’s extremely evident that she is obligated to this music. What’s more, she, I think with this collection, just came right out and said, this is the kind of person I am, this is who I’m affected by. Also, I need you all to hear the excellence and what I consider delightful too.

BEYONCE: (Singing) It’s the manner in which you wear your feelings on both of your sleeves, goodness, to the face you make when I let you know that I need to leave.
FITZGERALD: “Plastic Off The Sofa” is unadulterated love and soul. Furthermore, it’s clear to the point that she’s singing to her man, Jay-Z, and she’s simply having a particularly superb time delighting in her adoration for himself and delighting in her love of him and, surprisingly, in her reverence of herself. This melody is somewhat of an energetic recognition for their relationship. So I think this one sort of stands apart from the rest since I think this one is to a greater extent a profound mood. What’s more, she certainly involves this to its fullest limit to, similar to, let people in on the amount she’s enamored.

BEYONCE: (Singing) We needn’t bother with the world’s acknowledgment. They’re too severe with me. They’re too unforgiving with you, kid. I’ll continuously be your distinct advantage in your armory, your weapons store.
FITZGERALD: So her 2016 collection, “Lemonade,” which straightforwardly centered around her sort of hardships that she was looking in her relationship at that point, I feel, is universes from where we are today, not just due to everything that have happened starting around 2016 to now yet additionally in light of the fact that they’ve mended, and they’ve met up. So for her to emerge with this collection, you know, in 2022 years after the fact and feel like, you know, she’s totally wildly enamored and she feels like she has such a huge amount to communicate as far as loving reverence and this large number of fluffy sentiments inside, I feel like she’s allowing us to excuse and allowing us to likewise continue on.
(Short clip OF SONG, “Unadulterated/HONEY”)
BEYONCE: (Singing) It’s unadulterated. Awful, terrible, terrible to one side. Cash, cash to one side. You can both, compromise, dance throughout the evening. Take everything off or only a tad, in the event that you like. It’s unadulterated. It ought to cost a billion to look this benefit.
FITZGERALD: So “Unadulterated/Honey” is all assembly hall everything. This is such a devotion to Black and brown strange culture. She tests a Kevin Aviance tune captioned “The Feeling,” and it’s simply a quintessential strange house track.

BEYONCE: (Singing) Bossy B, bisous, right then left cheek, mwah, future, renaissance, concentrate on my method, all the nice guys to the floor.
BEYONCE: This is actually her second to simply allow free and let us to do likewise. Furthermore, I feel like the melody is somewhat the core of what she’s getting at with this whole collection, which is she’s honoring a local area and a culture that cherishes her. What’s more, presently she’s at long last, such as, responding that adoration in an extremely, substantial way.
