Drunk In Love Mp3

These days, I prefer cocktails on the bolder side, but I used to love ordering a good tropical cocktail, especially while on vacation. The rum punch is the equivalent to a tropical beach trip, just in a glass! Not only is this libation mouthwatering, its bright orange hues make it a stunning head turner.

Keeping in with the most prominent theme of Beyonc, "Drunk in Love" explores female sexuality.[25][26][27] Its lyrics express "unbridled lust"[28] and love-making with a wholly committed lover.[25] As she sings about how much she likes sex with her partner,[29] Beyonc uses several double entendres,[27][30] including the line, "grainin' on that wood", where she is supposedly referencing a surfboard. The singer displays much attitude through her vocal inflections that were described as "sassy" by critics.[25][31] Her vocal performance in the song was described as conversational, half-sung half-rapped, "talk-over-the-beat" styled further conveying spontaneity and truth-telling.[13][32] Her singing is further ornamented by Arabic-scale vocal arpeggios.[16] Beyonc's vocal performance in the song has been noted for containing a flow similar to rappers Drake and 2 Chainz.[33][34] The Verge's Trent Wolbe felt that the song featured Animal Collective-esque vocal filtering.[35]

On the bridge, Beyonc sings about having drunken sex in the kitchen: "We woke up in the kitchen saying / How the hell did this shit happen / Oh baby, drunk in love, we be all night / Last thing I remember is our beautiful bodies grinding off in that club".[30] The second verse of the song is half-rapped by her.[25] Jay-Z later appears to provide his rapped verse as he relates having aggressive sex to Mike Tyson who was convicted of rape in 1992.[36] Tyson also bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear during a boxing match in 1997 which Jay-Z references: "Catch a charge I might / beat the box up like Mike / In '97 I bite."[37] He then compares his relationship with Beyonc to that of Ike Turner and Tina Turner.[38] He forgoes subtlety as he raps, "Foreplay in a foyer, fucked up my Warhol/ Slid the panties right to the side/ Ain't got the time to take drawers off on sight... your breasteses is my breakfast".[25][27][39] Similarly to Beyonc, Jay-Z sings about the places they have had sex in their house.[40] During his lines, he raps about "reppin' that Third", a reference to the Third Ward area located in Houston.[41]

The song garnered universal acclaim. Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times wrote that Beyonc "trades terrifically raunchy come-ons with Jay Z [on 'Drunk in Love']; it's like an NC-17 sequel to their 2003 smash 'Crazy in Love'".[44] Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone chose the "sex song" as the album's best one, commenting that it is a "superb duet".[40] Jon Dolan from the same publication also chose it as the album's best further comparing it with "Crazy in Love" with "100 percent more drunkenness".[23] Andrew Hampp of Billboard called the track a "potential smash" as he praised its appeal to R&B radio stations and its "infectious, wailing of 'loooove' on the chorus". He also commended Beyonc's and Jay-Z's rapped verses.[25] Andrew Barker from Variety wrote in his review of Beyonc, "a radio-ready pop single [is] buried somewhere within the Jay Z feature 'Drunk In Love,' yet Beyonce and Boots embellish it with enough strange grace notes and recitatives to create a much stranger monster than one might expect".[45] Joey Guerra from the Houston Chronicle stated that Beyonc was in "a fluid swagger" in "Drunk in Love".[41]

Philip Matusavage of musicOMH noted that though "Drunk in Love" does not have a chorus, it absolutely manages to be "thrilling", further writing that it is "packed with ideas and touches" which listeners would understand after repeated listens.[50] Anupa Mistry of Spin considered the song to be one of Beyonc's "elbows-up boom-trap anthems... ready to soundtrack both dive-bar antics and bottle-service quasi-sophistication."[33] Philip Cosores of Paste highlighted that the track was highly evocative but found its lyrics to be "half-baked at best".[31] Ryan Dennehy of AbsolutePunk wrote that "unconditional love has to be reciprocated to explain Jay Z's odious verse on 'Drunk in Love'".[51] Stereogum's Tom Breihan criticized Jay-Z's "pretty bad" verse in the song.[52] Philadelphia Media Network writer Dan DeLuca panned "Drunk in Love" as Beyonc's biggest "misstep" due to Jay-Z's contribution.[53]

The video was filmed on August 15, 2013, in Golden Beach, Florida at a beach front manse that Beyonc rented out for the shoot.[97][98] It was directed by Hype Williams and shot in black-and-white; the clip depicts Beyonc and Jay-Z "madly in love".[98] The black-and-white shoot was meant to reference the work of fashion photographer Herb Ritts.[99] Talking about the video in an iTunes Radio session, Beyonc said, "The shoot was extremely effortless and spontaneous and we completely captured the energy of the song."[98] She also went on to say that it was the most organic shoot she had ever done and further added: "I wanted to carry this idea of being in the moment and embracing mistakes and effortlessness into the video. I wish every video was like 'Drunk [in Love]'."[2] The clip was first released on the iTunes Store on the visual album itself on December 13, 2013, which contained a previously filmed music video for every song and was later uploaded to Beyonc's Vevo channel three days later, on December 16, 2013.[98][100]

Jon Dolan from Rolling Stone described the video as the second most NSFW from the whole album.[23] An editor from the website Consequence of Sound described Beyonc's dancing as an R-rated version of Bo Derek's role in the film 10 (1978).[106] In her review, Toronto Star's Malene Arpe called the video "porny".[107] HitFix reviewer Whitney Phaneuf felt that Beyonc was looking in the camera with pure lust concluding that when Jay-Z appears later, "it's clear that her gaze has been fixed on him".[108] Claire Lobenfeld from Complex felt that the pair "get wet and wild" in the video further elaborating, "For an album that is rooted in love, marriage, and sex, unleashing a video featuring her and her husband frolicking euphorically on the beach is the best first taste."[109] Slate's Forrest Wickman called the clip one of the simplest on the album and noted, "It's not the album's peak, musically or visually, but unconstrained by heavy choreography... it legitimately looks like they're having fun."[19] Maura Johnston of Spin placed the video at number 5 on the magazine's list of the best music videos in 2013 saying that it was a "worthy addition" to the collaborations between Beyonc and Jay-Z.[110]

On January 26, 2014, the couple opened the 56th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, performing the song live together for the first time.[115] The performance opened with Beyonc sporting wet-look hair in a leotard and a leather basque, sitting on a chair with her back to the audience.[115][116][117] She continued seductively dancing cabaret-style, singing and gyrating on the dark stage surrounded by smoke.[118][119] Jay-Z appeared to rap his verses dressed in a suit and bow tie.[115] The sexually-charged performance ended with a kiss and the two walked off with their arms around each other. Beyonc's chair dance received comparisons with scenes from the movie Flashdance, the song's music video and the video for "Partition";[118][120][121] VH1's Emily Exton felt that it was one of the best chair dances of all time.[119] The duet was described as "scorching" and "chill inducing" with many critics considering the performance to be a show highlight;[120][122] Lily Harrison of E! added that the pair "set the bar impossibly high".[116] A Rolling Stone editor felt it was "near flawless".[115] Nadeska Alexis writing for MTV News noted that when the singer started singing the first verses of the song, "you could almost taste the aroma of sex appeal in the air".[118] A negative review came from Beverly Beckham of The Boston Globe who felt that the pair failed to showcase love in the lyrics and performance.[123]

English singer Katy B performed a medley of "Drunk in Love" and Tinashe's "Vulnerable" during Rinse FM sessions at London's Metropolis Studios in late February 2014.[162] Sevyn Streeter covered the song live during a concert in March.[163] Ed Sheeran also performed an acoustic cover version on the Elvis Duran and the Morning Show broadcast on April 11 and on 4Music on May 9, 2014.[164][165] He had sung the beginning of the song for several seconds the month before during On Air with Ryan Seacrest and decided to fully cover it following fan demands.[166] Alternative rock band Grouplove performed a rock-infused cover of the song at the 2014 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.[167] The writers of Billboard magazine described it as "earnest and uneven".[168] Rita Ora covered "Drunk in Love" on May 25, 2014, during Radio 1's Big Weekend in Glasgow and on the French television show Le Before du Grand Journal the following day.[169][170] In July 2014, Sia performed a cover of the song along with Ed Sheeran and Grouplove on the second episode of VH1's SoundClash.[171] During her performance at the G-A-Y club in London in April 2014, British singer Lily Allen appeared wearing a black bikini and a blond wig emulating Beyonc's look from the song's video, lip-syncing the lyrics for a drag performance. She appeared on the stage with a trophy in her hand, getting spilled with water from a bucket and danced in a similar way to the singer.[172] Several media outlets and fans on social media alike called it a "mocking" of Beyonc which Allen further denied on Twitter.[173] For the album 'BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge 2014', singer Angel Haze recorded an acoustic cover of the song, including Jay Z's rap verses. The cover was highly praised by music critics. American rapper Liv included the "surfboard" line in her diss track "Sorry Mrs. Carter".[174] Ariana Bacle of Entertainment Weekly described the reference as "a (disapproving) nod" to the original song,[175] while The Daily Beast's Amy Zimmerman praised Liv for criticizing the effectiveness of Beyonc's analogy.[176] The mathcore band Oceans Ate Alaska covered "Drunk in Love" in 2014 for the compilation Punk Goes Pop Vol. 6. e24fc04721
