Beyonce "I Am... Sasha Fierce"

I do love singing!! Gua yakin kalian semua yang lagi baca post gua ini juga suka menyanyi! Terlepas kesukaan tersebut membawa kalian untuk serius di dunia music khususnya pervokalan atopun hanya sekedar untuk menghilangkan keheningan kamar mandi saja hehehe... :D. Tapi semuanya itu bisa kita katakan sebagai suka! Kenapa? Ya karena ketika kita melakukannya kita bisa mengutarakan isi hati tanpa paksaan dari siapapun, betul?? :)

Nah, buat kalian yang sudah makin menggila dengan kesukaan bervokal ria alias hobi bernyanyi, let us talk about Beyonce Knowles' new album, I Am... Sasha Fierce. Albumnya kali ini yang banyak dibundel dengan tema hitam putih pada video klip - video klip yang ada, memberikan nuansa R&B yang lebih tradisional jika dibandingkan dengan album - album sebelumnya. Album single hits-nya yang ketiga ini [setelah berpisah dari Destiny's Child] dirilis dengan 17 judul lagu.  CD pertama yang berisikan 8 judul lagu diberi label "I Am..." memberikan nuansa mainstream personal dari Beyonce sendiri, sedangkan CD kedua yang berisikan 9 judul lagu lainnya diberi label "Sasha Fierce" memberikan nuansa "sisi lain" dari Knowles yang diakuinya sendiri mulai ia sadari selama pembuatan album Crazy In Love di tahun 2003. Pada saat diinterview, Knowles mengaku bahwa sisi lain dari dirinya adalah "gila panggung"; alasan kenapa album keduanya dirancang seperti itu adalah karena dia merasa semakin gila saat memberikan performance di panggung, maka musik-musik di CD kedua dirancang memberikan beat yang memang membuat badan kita tidak bisa diam!

Dengan album terbarunya ini Beyonce berhasil menduduki posisi pertama Billboard 200 dan juga mendapatkan penghargaan di posisi kedua dari 10 album terbaik 2008 versi majalah Entertainment Weekly! WOW! Prestasi yang sangat layak dengan kerja keras yang telah dilakukannya!

Yang lebih gilanya lagi dari pembuatan album ini adalah selama 8 bulan proses pembuatannya, Matthew Knowles ayah sekaligus manager Beyonce mengatakan bahwa ada 70 judul lagu yang telah diselesaikan oleh Beyonce! Jika tanpa menghitung proses duplikasi hasil rekaman, ini berarti Beyonce hanya membutuhkan waktu 3-4 hari untuk menyelesaikan rekaman 1 judul lagu! [gua cuma bisa bilang: SALUTE!! =D>]. "Pemilihan 17 dari 70 lagu yang ada, dilakukan sendiri oleh Beyonce dan dia sangat kokoh akan pilihan yang sudah dibuatnya. Tidak terpengaruh oleh siapapun.", tutur Matthew. Hhmm.. so guys and girls, here are the 17 lucky tunes:

All the single ladies (7x)

Now put your hands up
Up in the club, we just broke up
I’m doing my own little thing
Decided to dip and now you wanna trip
Cause another brother noticed me

I’m up on him, he up on me
Don’t pay him any attention
Just cried my tears, for three good years
Ya can’t be mad at me

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
Hold me tighter in my Dereon jeans
Acting up, drink in my cup
I can care less what you think

I need no permission, did I mention
Don’t pay him any attention
Cause you had your turn and now you gonna learn
What it really feels to miss me

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

Don’t treat me to the things of the world
I’m not that kind of girl
Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve

Is a man that makes me and takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms, say I’m the one you own
If you don’t, you’ll be alone
And like a ghost I’ll be gone

All the single ladies (7x)
Now put your hands up

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
