    You are the best Beyoncé vocal analyst. I’ve been watching you from your original “Beyoncé’s Voice is Changing” and its made me SO much more impressed with her vocal range in this album, especially after having THREE kids. Beyoncé only continues to blow away everyone’s expectations and limitations of her as an artist. The only person she outdo’s is herself at this point. Thank you so much for you vocal analysis videos!

    “Break my soul”, sound’s allot better and makes more sense, as part of a bigger transition, than it does,(by itself) on radio. The album is based on how a DJ at a “house music” club or party would mix various genres of music.

      I love it too because of how it builds. I love it even more now after the tour. It feels like an engine that’s revving up for the entire song. The release is the ending! Which given some of the other comments I can understand why that leaves some people unsatisfied. But I really enjoy it. It’s one of those songs that makes me feel like I can float away and get lost in variations on one idea.
