4 continues the Beyoncé tradition of making amazingly catchy, anthemic records with some of her best songs to date.
Her voice is the best it has ever been. Her music is the best it has ever been.
It's a more mature album with songs about the intricacies of relationships, but 4 has its share of stunning tracks, many co-written by The-Dream.
4 might be her most impressive collection yet.
The songs on 4 display Knowles’ desire to expand beyond the boundaries of her established pop-friendly persona, albeit in a safe, pop-friendly way.
It is for the most part a fun listen at worst and for her legion of fans it will probably translate to much more.
The singer gets a co-writing credit on all but one of these 12 tracks but there are too many contrasting sentiments: she's in love, breaking up and being abandoned all within the space of 50 minutes.
Where this album should be fresh and current, it sounds tired, repetitive and uninspired.
One of Beyoncé's most fun and vocally energetic albums featuring a classic and delicious R&B sound that marks a moment of transition in the singer's discography.

This one was at the top of my least fav albums list since forever but I guess it grew on me even tho some tracks are just unbearable and it’s definitely overrated especially Run the World
Aqui bey mudou o paço e definiu um futuro artístico incomparável, o começo de sua ascensão ao trono de maior artista viva.
