There’s a handful of big-name records coming out today, but not a heck of a lot beyond that. Let’s take a look at what’s new and important in record stores and online today.
Beyonce I Am…Sasha Fierce:
Dumb title, dumb concept. Decent album? Maybe? Mrs. Carter’s third album is split into two discs (although it could very easily fit onto one) in order to display the two sides of Beyonce’s personality. Save me the hocus-pocus and just give me good music, OK? I actually like Beyonce a lot (although not as much as our own GG, who has not wiped up the drool yet), and hope that the decidedly average B-Day was an aberration. If I Were a Boy gives me a little hope, but Single Ladies takes it right back. So, basically a crapshoot. But it’ll sell like hotcakes anyway.
