Beyoncé - Party
Artist: Beyoncé
Featuring: Andre 3000 , Kanye West
Producer: Kanye West, Consequence
Album: 4
Label: Music World/Columbia
It wouldn’t quite be accurate to claim that Beyoncé can do no wrong in the Booth lately—the reader response to Run the World (Girls) says otherwise—but the waves of 4/5-star reviews that greeted both pretend second single 1 + 1 and real second single Best Thing I Never Had indicates that our resident R&B/pop-lovers are still Crazy in Love with the Destiny’s Child alum. With her latest effort, star-studded album leak Party, I fully expect Bey’s winning streak to continue. As suited to a backyard barbecue as to a steamy summer evening with a special someone, this joint finds Chitown heavyweight Kanye West (and Consequence) handling production duties, pairing a breezy synth groove with some well-placed vocal samples from Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh’s La Di Da Di as Beyoncé smoothly alludes to Keith Sweat classic Right and a Wrong Way (“I may be young but I’m ready…”). To top it all off, both West and Outkast alum Andre 3000 assist on the guest tip, dropping (respectively) a swag-drenched intro and a suave 16. Beyoncé‘s 4 LP arrives on store shelves June 24—do I need to tell you to mark your calendars?

I know she doesn't make her music for "me" specifically, but I miss R&B pre-Beyonce. Just seemed like there was a lot more talent and creativity then...2.5

Slightly disappointed with the 3 Stacks contribution, but lets be real - this cast of charecters couldn't make bad music if they tried. This is still better "than the rest."

Good summer track right here. B was great and I loved Kanye's production. 3 Stacks was the only weak link but only because I expected more. This should be the third single, it'll be the perfect way to end the summer off.

Ok Beyonce! I think Andre sounds better over a quieter beat. Something that makes his voice stand out more. Still a banger

I'm conflicted because the same people that ride for anything Yonce does, I'm the same way with 3 Stacks, he can do no wrong. I dig the track and it really makes you wonder what she could do with all the pop & circumstance type music. This is on some Teddy Riley meets the golden era of rap.

Doesn't the sample in the backgroud seem a little off the melody? B & 3 Stacks on point - The whole album is shaping up very nicely indeed

It was ok but not amazing. I’ve been disappointed with many cuts off this album.

A far better single than that Run the World song. I don't know if it is a good or bad thing that I laughed at a couple of parts (i.e. "I told my girls you can GET IT"), but either way after a second listen, this is a go.

I'm feeling this song a little bit. I really like the beat and Kanye's introduction; sounds like a third single to me.

The only good thing about this song is Kanye West at the beginning of the song. Beyonce is too much of a ghetto barbie faggot in the rest of the song.
Needs more hip-hop element in it. |

considering the cast I will say this pretty mediocre and more could've definitely been made
