Directed by Melina Matsoukas, the video has Beyoncé playing a beauty pageant contestant who does everything in her power to look flawless — but still can’t achieve perfection.
“Well I think we definitely wanted to speak to as many women as we could and all the pain and struggle that we go through as women to maintain this impossible standard of beauty,” Matsoukas explained to MTV News. “We wanted to give it a darker edge and take it there and not give you the Disney version of that struggle. And Beyoncé was more than willing to go that far with it. And I applaud her for that.”
At one point, a frustrated Bey knocks down her wall of trophies, which is supposed “to represent knocking down those beauty standards and falling into a victim of that.”
In the end, even as hard as Miss Third Ward tries to beat out her competition, she loses. That idea came straight from the pop star.
“[Originally,] I had her win and I had it mean nothing,” she said. “And then she didn’t want to win. And then, actually, the woman who wins is an albino woman. And we thought it was really important and interesting to break those ideas of what the classic beauty standards would be and to do this with this beautiful albino woman, I thought was really great. And to show ‘Yeah she’s not perfect, she doesn’t always win and you put your best foot forward and you may still lose.’

The modernist sonic approach is pushed to the fore on a short track featuring ambient beats, dubstep deep bass and poetic spoken word vocal, on which Beyoncé shrugs “perfection is so meh” while looking perfect in a bikini. On audio album it bleeds seamlessly into Haunted, a spacey hip-hop R’nB song about desire, concocted with the mysterious BOOTS, who seems to be a principle collaborator – although nothing is previously known of him, her, them or it.

Beyonce ft. Jay Z - Drunk in Love (2013)
640x480 | Video: M4V (H264) 1579 kbit/s, 23.97 fps | Audio: AAC Stereo 256 Kbps | 00:06:21 | 88.47 Mb

Beyoncé and her husband Jay Z come up again in a new collaboration after ‘’Part II (On the Run)‘’ from Jay Z’s last album Magna Carta…Holy Grail. The previous feature is a continuation to their first collab “‘03 Bonnie & Clyde” included in The Blueprint 2: The Gift & the Curse.
Beyoncé gets dirty over a woozy hip-hop beat with a Caribbean tilt. She serves up double entendres (“Surfing on this wood”) while hubby Jay-Z dispenses with entendres altogether and just gets plain rude.

Pharrell Williams, fresh from sprinkling commercial magic on Daft Punk and Robin Thicke records, lends a hand to Beyoncé on a squishy, funk beat about the pleasures of oral sex. “Pink is the flavour, solve the riddle,” she gushes. Whatever can she mean?

Beyonce - quite well done. Popularity and the big money is not overshadowed her memory. As a result - in her video for the song "No Angel" is worthy of remembering childhood and those in whose environment grew.

This song is about sex and romance, with very explicit lyrics considering she very rarely cusses in songs. The video features Jay-Z and Beyonce in some very revealing outfits and poses.
An electro-throbbing track with a Rihanna-style Caribbean hip-hop flavour, it builds into a slinky club groove with Beyoncé supplicating herself before her apparently uninterested husband: “Take all of me, I just wanna be the girl you like.” What happened to the Independent Woman?

“I cooked this meal for you naked, so where the hell you at?” Beyoncé’s latest batch of songs leaves even less to the imagination than her saucy videos. A slow, distorted, echoing sound builds without quite achieving lift off, yet there is something impressively dramatic about the restraint she maintains in a song of emotional tension.

Beyonce - Rocket (2013)

“Let me sit this ass on you”. Oh well, if you insist. Another slow jam sex song accompanied by shots of Beyoncé writhing on a bed. Timbaland and Justin Timberlake are credited as co-writers on this and several tracks – perhaps deemed superfluous to Timberlake’s own comeback earlier this year. Not much of a song but a very naughty video.

Beyonce ft. Drake - Mine (2013)
640x480 | Video: M4V (H264) 1433 kbit/s, 23.97 fps | Audio: AAC Stereo 256 Kbps | 00:04:59 | 61.17 Mb

An intriguing song about delayed gratification, it starts as a piano ballad, adds a speedy hip-hop beat and keeps threatening to burst into a monster groove without ever quite exploding. Sex goes on the backburner in a lyric dealing quite explicitly with post-maternity relationship problems: “I’m not feeling myself since the baby, are we gonna even make it?” An oddly structured yet compelling track, with a satisfying contribution from Drake. The few guests on Beyoncé’s album are very well chosen.

Beyonce - XO (2013)
640x480 | Video: M4V (H264) 1572 kbit/s, 23.97 fps | Audio: AAC Stereo 256 Kbps | 00:03:35 | 48.09 Mb

After all the sexed-up slow jams and spaced-out ambient beats this comes as a sugary relief, a straight-up pop anthem written with serial hitmaker Ryan Tedder. Even the video has a happy innocence, with Beyoncé and her girls running loose in a fairground.

Beyonce ft. Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche - Flawless (2013)

Bey expands on her single from earlier in 2013, the Hit-Boy-produced “Bow Down / I Been On”.
The original single attracted criticism for what some people felt was Beyoncé’s counter-feminist stance in using the term “bitches”. Bey clarifies her intentions on the album version, incorporating a section from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s TEDxEuston Talk “We should all be feminists” SaveFrom.net.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (born 15 September 1977) is a writer from Nigeria. She has been called “the most prominent” of a “procession of critically acclaimed young anglophone authors that is succeeding in attracting a new generation of readers to African literature”.

A stand-out track, as might be expected from collaborators Frank Ocean and Pharell Williams. With a doo wop vocal undercurrent, string washes and orchestral drum rolls, the backing is like listening to an unusually restrained Phil Spector production through a digital future prism. Like most of the songs on the album it never quite takes off, as if restraint was the watchword.

A tragic song in which Bey dedicates to her unborn child, who passed due to miscarriage. About this song, Bey said:
"Heaven’ is about death and finding the strength in knowing that someone had an incredible life and that giving you some type of closure".

Beyonce ft. Blue Ivy - Blue (2013)
640x480 | Video: M4V (H264) 1483 kbit/s, 23.97 fps | Audio: AAC Stereo 256 Kbps | 00:04:35 | 58.08 Mb

Opens, like several other tracks, on simple piano chords, and gradually develops into something groovier. There’s a lovely transition to the beat with Beyoncé’s voice high and sweet, almost fragile in its exposure, that sounds just right on a song about parental love.
Beyoncé dedicates her first song to her daughter Blue Ivy Carter, born in 2012. Bey’s husband and Blue’s father Jay Z has previously dedicated two songs to his daughter, “Glory” and “Jay Z Blue”. Blue’s appearance on the former made her the youngest Billboard charting artist ever, and possibly the youngest featured artist with a Rap Genius profile.
