Beyonce: I Was Here
If you're like me, then you might be living with some kind of delusion that Beyonce-level fame is possible even when you lack any significant musical talent. Does this sound like you? If so, then Beyonce herself has created a perfect musical match for your hallucination.I Was Here (you may not have heard of it, since so many people are still hung up on whether or not Run the World (Girls) will be a big enough hit...), off of her new album 4, speaks to a life of meaning, significance, and connection with others, which certainly Beyonce has already achieved. But it also has a motivational quality to it--almost challenging you to do the same for yourself, even if you could never possibly be known and adored by as many people around the world.
Side note: I have been a fan of "Radio Beyonce" for many years, but have never been hooked by any album of hers in its entirety. 4 is the only exception to this, and has without a doubt upped my level of respect for her.
