Beyonce gets a little conceptual and reveals a little bit of both sides on her third studio album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, which hits stores and online tomorrow, November 18th.
I Am… Sasha Fierce is probably some of Beyonce’s most impressive work to date. Much different from her previous releases, 2006’s B’Day or her acclaimed 2003 debut, Dangerously In Love, Beyonce explores uncharted territories, especially on the ballad-heavy, pop-driven I Am… side.
With the leaking of her first singles, “♫ If I Were A Boy” and “♫ Single Ladies,” bloggers, fans, stans and haters alike knew that it would be time for the Beyonce media blitz.

While being on the promo trail for her new album, Human, due out December 9th, Brandy has released a second single, “Long Distance,” the follow-up to the Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins-produced “Right Here (Departed).” In addition to her second single, she will appear on the third single from John Legend’s new album, “Quickly.”
Here are two new tracks from Brandy: “Torn Down,” produced by Midi Mafia (they are also responsible for “Quickly”), which is one of the more uptempo songs which will appear on Human, as well as as the bonus track, “Gonna Find My Love.” Both of these songs are pretty good. I’m a little disappointed that Brandy isn’t including “Gonna Find My Love” on the album, because so far, it seems as though the tempo of Human will be pretty mid-to-slow.
