Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare for Beyonce?

This week marks the passing of a truly great man, Michael Joseph Jackson.

To commemorate the life of Micheal Jackson at the end of this week's post I will include a selection of songs by the late King of Pop which you may not have heard.

This week's song is called ' Sweet Dreams' apparently, though I first heard it in a mixtape as 'beautiful nightmare' back in '08, and is definitely going to be a big summer hit (if she releases it in time) and if not will be on the club scene just in time for all those going back to (or starting) Uni in September.

The sixth track from the bizarrely title 'I am...Sasha Fierce' (An album title written as though she really had to think about it before she let herself say something that ridiculous) Is an infectious dance track which will worm its way onto dancefloors as a party starter and then win place as a firm favourite when the video drops. I would say its unlike anything she has produced; think Shirly Bassey meets Kelis produced by. Will have teenage girls singing 'My guilty pleasure I aint goin nowherrrrrrre' in Primark with no shame by august. With regards to the music, it has an up tempo almost industrial feel with random exclamations of 'Oh!' and 'Turn the lights on' randomly inserted. The Times has praised it calling its 'deep bass' and disturbed lyrics 'thrilling'. I would have to agree. Im going to give this a 4/5 for inspired genre changing by the Diva, however I think I wouldnt be alone in wishing for a Cameo from Jay-Z towards the end where it starts to drag.
