In retrospect, the adult gloss feels like an elaborate foil to the trouble she’d been cooking up in private all along. Beyoncé, her fifth solo album,repositions the singer as the Houston-bred Yoncé, a woman lustier and surlier than B, more playful than Bey, fiercer than Sasha but softer and more natural than the lot. The album is brassy but elegant, its post-coital breath smelling faintly of cheap liquor sipped from a crystal flute. It finds Beyoncé shifting gears to pull off her most explicit and sonically experimental music to date,exploring sounds and ideas at the grittier margins of popular music.
第二段:回想起来,这种成年人的光彩就像是对她一直在私下里制造的麻烦的精心衬托。碧昂斯,她的第五张个人专辑,将这位歌手重新定位为休斯顿的碧昂斯,这个女人比B更性感,更阴郁,比Bey更有趣,比Sasha更凶悍,但比其他人更温柔,更自然。这张专辑是很直接的但优雅,专辑中所描述的性事之后的气息闻起来有点像从水晶笛子里喝的廉价酒。可以发现碧昂斯转变了风格,推出了迄今为止最露骨、最具音效实验性的专辑,探索流行音乐边缘地带的声音和概念。
