It isn't her fault because she uses it well, but "Show Me Love" as a sample or template feels overdone for me at this point.
Definitely slaps and she sounds great but I think this will work better in the context of a full album in this soundscape, which is ironic given the way it's rolling out. It's worrying me that I don't instantly want to hear it again though..
Currently at the gym and just noticed a girl with earphones on do a bit of a shoulder bop... Is she listening to Break My Soul? Yes probably. Also this tacked on the end of B'Day (original version not the messy re-release) works really well. I've just had COVID, still feeling a bit weak and I've managed to do an hour of cardio... Beyoncé's power!
Maybe it's the wine and general stupidity, but I'm not hearing Show Me Love at all. I'm hearing a generic organ pluck bass, but I don't get Show Me Love sample as others have said at all.
It's about the clubs. The clubs are happening, you know, um....the gay community KEEPS them happening. It's where they go to release. It's where they go to get their stuff off.
I listened to B'Day then Break My Soul on repeat for 30+ minutes ddd Yeah I can honestly see this being a gay anthem. It's making me want to go and watch a drag show at a club and make really bad decisions and it's a Tuesday
What you won't do: break my soul break my soul break my soul Who I'm telling: everybody everybody everybody
I DID just quit my job so I feel as if this song has been written entirely for me so I can justify my unhinged decision making process.
Why am I awake for this? It's been years since I awoke/stayed up specifically for pop. Her power. I'm so glad she's back, sampling a tiny bit of Robin S to not instantly be recognisable but also entirely recognisable, giving us more Big Freedia, rhyming vibration with foundation, if she's starting off a dance era with this, bravo, I love it! It's straight out the Hung Up school of pop, and I wonder if this comeback will yield more comparisons.
