BEYONCE BACK FOR THIRDS

Beyoncé's reign with her third record ("I Am...Sasha Fierce") looks set to continue.

Recently confirmed are her fifth & sixth (third off each disc) singles, which are the the "Sasha" inspired "Ego" and "Beyoncé" "Broken Hearted Girl".

"Ego" is a smoother track from "Sasha" but plays up the naughtier side that we like from B. The use of great instruments with clever and sassy lyrics make this song another hit. Reminiscent of her Destiny's Child and "Irreplaceble" days, this track will be big with the girls this Northern Summer and will make a big impression on the radio.

"Broken Hearted Girl" continues the drama of "Halo" but strips back the beat and is piano driven this time, until around 1:40 where a small beat and electronics mixes things up. It is a ballad and girl anthem that we have come to expect from her, yet it is very now and fresh in the same way that "Halo" & "If I Were A Boy" have stood out from the rest of her competition. Another great track from the Queen of R&B & Soul.

Scores:
"Ego" - 8/10
"Broken Hearted Girl" - 8.5/10
