Beyonce Knowles - Dangerously in Love MAG
If you're tired of the bootylicious babble that Destiny's Child has inspired, you may want to try the new solo effort from multi-platinum recording artist Beyonce Knowles. "Dangerously in Love" blends influences from hip-hop to rock and jazz. It's also divided between seductive tempos ("Be With You"), lush ballads ("Dangerously in Love," "Signs" and "Say Yes") and fiery club bangers ("How I Like It," and "Baby Boy").
Knowles, who co-wrote and co-produced much of the album, is also accompanied by many artists including Missy Elliot, Sean Paul, Luther Vandross, Big Boi (OutKast), and boyfriend Jay-Z. With this album, Knowles also has released a deeply passionate, sexually aggressive and more mature vibe.
The first single, "Crazy in Love," features Jay-Z. Co-produced with Rich Harrison, it was the song of the summer. This is no schoolgirl's fantasy of blossoming love - "Dangerously in Love" is clearly Knowles' way of staking her claim in the world and in the process redefines the expectations of who she is.
Beyonce Knowles is surely a triple threat, who's added songwriter and producer to her resumé. I can't wait to see what else this entertainer has up her sleeve!
