Beyonce : "1+1"

[Ty]

"1+1" is the track #1 and the first promotional single from Beyonce's fourth studio album 4.

Definitely one of the most memorable tracks from that album.

Still reeling in on this:

"I don't know much about Algebrah..but 1 plus 1 equals me and you" 🤣🤣🤣

Love it. She slayed vocally.

I could've sworn there was a thread for this boring, unmelodious song already...

The visuals during the outro are magnificent.
This might be her most sensual song for me.

Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest R&B Songs of The 21st Century

Ranked: #27

“1 + 1” marks a moment when Beyoncé began a stunning transformation from a reliable pop superstar to an undeniable cultural juggernaut. Her fans could reasonably argue that critics undervalued her earlier 2000s solo output due to male-centered rockism. Still, there’s something remarkable in the way she hearkens to Boyz II Men’s intro on “Uhh Ahh” like she’s a member of the JBs running down old funk numbers. The performance resembles her 2008 hit “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” but at a sharper, quicker pace. It’s a moment akin to when James Brown shifted from “I Got You” to “Sex Machine,” and as Beyoncé begins to shift into warp speed, she makes it clear that from now on, she’s not going to wait for the world to keep up any longer. —M.R.
