I Am... Sasha Fierce

Beyonce is probably the most famous thing in R'n'B music right now. She is the one who has been dominating it for so many years now and when she releases an album everyone takes notice. She is usually taking over the charts from all her rivals. She is an artist that I have loved since Destiny's Child. But when she is a solo act she is so much better.

Her third studio album I Am... Sasha Fierce is her best album to date. The album is a representation of herself and her alter ego Sasha Fierce. The first disc is her more love song/ballads and her alter ego unleashes her more up tempo diva side. The album has been in the charts since it's release in 2008 and sold around six million albums to date. A very amazing record for a woman who has only had three albums. Another amazing fact she is the only woman in R'n'B to have three number one albums top the billboard charts that go onto win best album at the Grammy awards.

As I adore this album this was a hard choice to just choose three tracks. I have only chosen my three favorites in terms of the ones that really get me still to this day and I can't stop listening to. I'd have posted five songs on this but I can just display the three best tracks to get my point across. All my choices are more dedicated to her Beyonce Ballad side but I still love her Sasha Fierce tracks just as much.


HALO

Remember those walls I built
Well, Baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now


It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breaking
It's the risk that I'm taking
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it wont fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light

I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breaking
The risk that I'm taking
I'm never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halo, Halo


DISAPPEAR

If I begged and If I cried
Would it change the sky tonight?
Would it give me sunlight?
Should I wait for you to call?

Is there any hope at all?

Are you drifting by?

When I think about it
I know that I was never there or ever cared
The more I think about it
The less that I was able to share
With you
I tried to reach you
I can almost feel you
You're nearly here
And then you disappear
(Disappear Disappear Disappear)
You Disappear
(Disappear Disappear Disappear)

And then I lie all by myself
I see your face I hear your voice
My heart stays faithful
And time has come and time has past
If it's good it's got to last
It feels so right

When I think about it
I know that I was never there or even cared
The more I think about it
The less that I was able to share
With you
I tried to reach you
I can almost feel you
You're nearly here
And then you disappear
(Disappear Disappear Disappear)
You disappear
(Disappear Disappear Disappear)
You you disappear

I missed all the signs
One at a time
You were ready
What did I know
Starting our lives
Now my love I'm ready to shine

When I think about it
I know that I was never there or even cared
The more I think about it
The less I was able to share
With you
I tried to reach you
I can almost feel you
You're almost here
And then you disappear
You disappear
You disappear
You disappear
Disappear


HELLO

Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
I love to see you walk into the room
Body shining lighting up the place
And when you talk, Everybody stops
Cause they know you know just what to say and
The way that you protect your friends
Baby, I respect you for that
And when you grow, you take everyone you love along
I love that shit

Don't fly me away
Don't need to buy a diamond key
To unlock my heart
You shelter my soul
You're my fire when I'm cold
I want you to know

You had me at Hello, Hello, Hello
You had me at Hello, Hello, Hello
It was many years ago
Baby when you stole my cool
Cause you had me at hello
Hello, Hello

I get so excited when you travel with me
Baby while I'm on my grind
And never would I ever let my hustle
Come between me me and my family time and
You keep me humble, I like this type
Cause you know there's more to life
And if I need ya, you will be here
You will make the sacrifice

Don't fly me away
Don't need to buy
A diamond key a diamond key
To unlock my heart
You shelter my soul
You're my fire when I'm cold
I want you to know

You had me at Hello, Hello, Hello
You had me at Hello, Hello, Hello
It was many years ago
Baby when you stole my cool
You had me at hello
Hello, Hello

Gotta feel you and be near you
You're the air that I breathe to survive
Gotta hold you, wanna show you
That without you my sun doesn't shine

You had me at Hello, Hello, Hello
You had me at Hello, Hello, Hello
It was many years ago
Baby when you stole my cool
You had me at hello
Hello, Hello
