    B'Day is the second studio album by American singer

    Music World Entertainment and Sony Urban Music.[j]

    Originally set to be released in 2004, B'Day was planned as a follow-up to Beyoncé's solo debut

    urban contemporary elements such as hip hop and R&B. Live instrumentation
    was employed in recording most of the tracks as part of Beyoncé's vision of creating a record using live instruments.

    Upon its release, B'Day received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who directed most of the acclaim towards its sonic quality and Beyoncé's vocal performance. A commercial success, the album debuted atop the US Billboard 200, selling over 541,000 copies in its first week. Among numerous additional accolades, it won Best Contemporary R&B Album at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards (2007). B'Day Anthology Video Album, which featured 13 music videos to accompany the album's tracks, was released alongside the album's Deluxe Edition reissue in April 2007. B'Day has been certified quintuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and, as of 2013, has sold over 8 million copies worldwide.

    B'Day produced six singles. "Déjà Vu" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100, while "Ring the Alarm" became Beyoncé's highest-debuting single at the time but broke her string of top-ten singles after peaking at number 11. "Irreplaceable" became her fourth Billboard Hot 100 number-one, while "Beautiful Liar" peaked at number three; both singles achieved widespread international success. "Get Me Bodied" was released exclusively in the United States, while "Green Light" was released internationally; neither replicated the success of their predecessors. To further promote B'Day, Beyoncé embarked on her second solo concert tour The Beyoncé Experience (2007); a live album titled The Beyoncé Experience Live was also released.

    Background and development

    Between March 2002 and March 2003, Beyoncé had productive studio sessions while recording her debut solo studio album Dangerously in Love, recording up to 45 songs.[1] After the release of Dangerously in Love in June 2003, Beyoncé had planned to produce a follow-up album using several of the leftover tracks.[1] However, on January 7, 2004, a spokesperson for her record label Columbia Records announced that Beyoncé had put her plans on hold in order to concentrate on the recording of Destiny Fulfilled, the final studio album by Destiny's Child, and to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Super Bowl XXXVIII in Houston, Texas, which was a childhood dream of hers.[1] Furthermore, she starred as Xania in the 2006 comedy-mystery film The Pink Panther, which was filmed in 2004.[2] She also spent the following two years promoting Destiny Fulfilled and Destiny's Child's first greatest hits album #1's (2005), embarking on their final world tour Destiny Fulfilled... and Lovin' It; the group would disband in 2006.

    Beyoncé originally recorded "

    Tony Award-winning Broadway musical of the same name (1981).[3] As she wanted to focus on one project at a time, Beyoncé decided to wait until the film was completed before returning to the recording studio.[4] Beyoncé later told Billboard: "I'm not going to write for the album until I finish doing the movie."[5]

    Recording and production

    Beyoncé's sister Solange (pictured) co-wrote "Get Me Bodied", "Upgrade U" and "Flaws and All".

    While having a month-long vacation after filming Dreamgirls, Beyoncé went to the studio to start working on B'Day. She said: "[When filming ended] I had so many things bottled up, so many emotions, so many ideas",

    Stargate, and American hip hop producer and rapper Swizz Beatz.[9] Two female songwriters, who helped structure the album, were also a part of the team–Beyoncé's cousin Angela Beyincé, who had previously contributed to Dangerously in Love, and up-and-coming songwriter Makeba Riddick, who made her way onto the team after writing "Déjà Vu", the lead single off the album.[4]

    Beyoncé rented the Sony Music Studios in New York City, and was influenced by her now-husband Jay-Z's method of collaborating with multiple record producers;[10] she used four recording studios simultaneously.[11] She booked Harrison, Jerkins and Garrett, each with a room to work in.[6] During the sessions, Beyoncé would move from studio to studio to check her producers' progress, later claiming this fostered "healthy competition" among producers.[6] When Beyoncé conceived a potential song, she would tell the group who would deliberate, and after three hours the song would be created.[4] While Beyoncé and the team brainstormed the lyrics, other collaborators such as the Neptunes, Jerkins and Swizz Beatz would simultaneously produce the tracks.[4] They would sometimes spend up to 14 hours a day in the studios during the recording process.[4] Beyoncé arranged, co-wrote and co-produced all of the songs on the album.[6] Riddick, in an interview with MTV News, recounted her experience in the production:

    [Beyoncé] had multiple producers in Sony Studios. She booked out the whole studio and she had the biggest and best producers in there. She would have us in one room, we would start collaborating with one producer, then she would go and start something else with another producer. We would bounce around to the different rooms and work with the different producers. It was definitely a factory type of process.[4]

    B'Day was completed within three weeks, ahead of the originally scheduled six weeks.

    Music and lyrics

    Many of the themes and musical styles of B'Day were inspired by Beyoncé's role in

    urban contemporary elements such as contemporary R&B and hip hop. Some songs showcase 1970s and 1980s styles, achieved through record sampling. "Suga Mama", which employs blues-guitar samples from Jake Wade and the Soul Searchers' "Searching for Soul",[17] contains a 1970s funk and 1980s go-go-influenced melody.[18] "Upgrade U" uses a sample from Betty Wright's 1968 song "Girls Can't Do What the Guys Do". "Resentment" used Curtis Mayfield's "Think" from the 1972 Super Fly soundtrack. "Déjà Vu" has 1970s influence,[13] "Green Light" has a classic groove,[19] and "Get Me Bodied" features twang, a musical style that originated from Texas.[20]

    Beyoncé crafted most songs on B'Day through live

    hi-hat, horns and the 808 drum; it also features rap vocals by Jay-Z.[19][21] In an interview with MTV, Beyoncé said: "When I recorded 'Déjà Vu' [...] I knew that even before I started working on my album, I wanted to add live instruments to all of my songs..."[22] Lyrically, the song details a woman being constantly reminded of a past lover,[23] shown in the lines: "Is it because I'm missing you that I'm having déjà vu?"[24] "Get Me Bodied" is a moderate R&B and bounce track,[25][26] which displays influences of dance-pop,[27] dancehall,[24] and funk.[28] Lyrically, it speaks about a female protagonist going out and dressing up suitably to leave a lasting impression and get what she's looking for.[21] The third track "Suga Mama" is a moderate R&B and soul track displaying influences of the 1960s, as well as 1970s funk and rock, also containing limited elements of the 1980s go-go,[29][30] while more closely resembling live music than Beyoncé's previous recordings.[31] Lyrically, it features the female protagonist offering up the keys to her house and car, and her credit card just to keep her love interest and his "good loving" at home, presumably so that he can listen to her collection of old soul records.[27][32] Those interpretations are shown in the lines: "It's so good to the point that I'll do anything just to keep you home ... Tell me what you want me to buy, my accountant's waiting on the phone ..."[30] The protagonist also sees the man as a sexual object, asking him to sit on her lap and "take it off while I watch you perform".[33][34]

    "Upgrade U", which features Jay-Z, speaks about a woman offering luxuries to a man in order to upgrade his lifestyle and reputation,

    midtempo ballad with pop and R&B influences,[41] and speaks of a breakdown of a woman's relationship with a man after she discovers his infidelity.[42] The standard edition's closing track "Resentment" is a soul and soft rock ballad about a gritty, agitated goodbye, which adds a "different kind of overwrought drama".[35][43]

    "

    Still in Love (Kissing You)", which was later replaced by "If", is a cover of Des'ree's pop ballad "Kissing You". "If" is a ballad on which a female protagonist expresses disappointment with her love interest's mistreatment of her.[47] "World Wide Woman" is an uptempo R&B track on which Beyoncé calls herself "a worldwide woman", a play on term World Wide Web.[48] The Deluxe Edition also includes "Listen", which previously appeared in Dreamgirls and its accompanying soundtrack. A soul-R&B ballad,[49] it was declared a song on which Deena Jones is exclaiming: "You don't know who I am, and I know I do" by its co-writer Anne Preven.[50]

    Title and packaging

    B'Day was titled as a reference to Beyoncé's birthday.

    Seven months after the release of B'Day, an expanded double-disc reissue, subtitled Deluxe Edition, was released in the US on April 3, 2007.[68] In addition to the original track listing, the Deluxe Edition featured five new songs, including "Beautiful Liar", a duet with Colombian singer Shakira. "Amor Gitano", a Spanish-language flamenco-pop duet with Mexican singer Alejandro Fernández, served as a soundtrack for Telemundo's telenovela El Zorro,[69] and was included in the Deluxe Edition bonus disc alongside Spanish re-recordings of "Listen" ("Oye"), "Irreplaceable" ("Irreemplazable") and "Beautiful Liar" ("Bello Embustero"). The idea of recording songs in a foreign language emanated from her experience when Destiny's Child performed "Quisiera Ser" with Alejandro Sanz at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards (2002). Beyoncé worked with producer Rudy Pérez for the recordings in order to retain the same feeling of the English versions of the songs into the Spanish translation.[70][71] The bonus disc was later released as the standalone extended play (EP) Irreemplazable.[72]

    "Get Me Bodied" was released as the fifth single from B'Day on July 10, 2007, exclusively in the US.[114] It originally peaked at number 68 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in August, becoming Beyoncé's lowest-peaking single on the chart at the time.[115][116] However, as a video of a woman named Deborah Cohen and her doctors dancing to "Get Me Bodied" before she underwent a double mastectomy was posted onto YouTube and went viral in 2013, the song found a new peak position at number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100.[117][118] The song's 1960s-influenced accompanying music video was directed by Mandler and features Beyoncé's sister Solange and former Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.[73]

    "Green Light" was released as the fourth and final international single from B'Day on July 27, 2007.[119] It was originally planned to be released as the second single for the international markets, but Columbia Records opted for "Irreplaceable" instead. The remix extended play (EP) titled Green Light: Freemasons EP was released for digital download simultaneously with the single.[120] The single was also planned to be released physically in the United Kingdom, but the plans were cancelled last-minute, which resulted with it not obtaining a higher peak than number 12 on the UK Singles Chart.[121] Beyoncé co-directed the song's accompanying music video with Melina Matsoukas; the video features the second appearance by the Suga Mamas.[122]

    B'Day received generally positive reviews from

    average score of 70, based on 23 reviews.[131] Jody Rosen, writing for Entertainment Weekly, commented that the album's songs "arrive in huge gusts of rhythm and emotion, with Beyoncé's voice rippling over clattery beats".[133] Jonah Weiner of Blender commented that "sweaty up-tempo numbers prove the best platform for Beyoncé's rapperly phrasing and pipe-flaunting fireballs".[132] Andy Kellman of AllMusic felt that, despite "no songs with the smooth elegance" of "Me, Myself and I" or "Be with You", the album is "lean in a beneficial way".[13] The Boston Globe's Sarah Rodman commented that the production team helped Beyoncé "focus on edgier, up-tempo tracks that take her sweet soprano to new places".[27] Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian felt that, "apart from a few pop-R&B space-fillers, there's not much to dislike about B'Day".[134] Robert Christgau from MSN Music said "on most of [the songs] she's wronged yet still in control because she's got so much money" and felt that Beyoncé "earns her props" if "opulence can signify liberation in this grotesquely materialistic time, as in hip-hop it can".[135]

    In a mixed review, Jon Pareles of The New York Times found the album "tense, high-strung and obsessive", and said that it was neither "ingratiating or seductive".[35] Richard Cromelin of the Los Angeles Times observed that Beyoncé "heads into a new, more challenging terrain", but "some of the experiments don't click".[139] Although he found the album "solid", Mike Joseph of PopMatters said that "aside from its relatively short running time, it sounds suspiciously under produced".[140] Brian Hiatt of Rolling Stone averred that "while the mostly up-tempo disc never lacks for energy, some of the more beat-driven tracks feel harmonically and melodically undercooked, with hooks that don't live up to 'Crazy in Love' or the best Destiny's Child hits".[17] Priya Elan of NME cited only "Freakum Dress" and "Ring the Alarm" as highlights and criticized that "too many tracks sound like updated versions of former glories", with no song on-par with "Crazy in Love".[136]

    Commercial performance

    Despite an average commercial performance of the album's first two singles, "Déjà Vu" and "Ring the Alarm", B'Day debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 on September 23, 2006,[151] selling over 541,000 units in its first week.[151] B'Day scored Beyoncé's highest debut-week album sales,[152] until it was surpassed by her self-titled fifth studio album (2013), which sold 617,213 digital copies in its first three days.[153][154] The album gave Beyoncé her second number-one debut on the chart following Dangerously in Love (2003), which was noted by Keith Caulfield of Billboard, surmising that perhaps "its handsome debut was generated by goodwill earned from the performance of her smash first album Dangerously in Love".[155] B'Day fell to number three in its second week,[156] and to number six the following week,[157] falling out of the top ten in its fourth week at number 11.[158] After seven weeks of being outside the top ten, B'Day reached number nine on the chart dated December 2,[159] due to the success of its single "Irreplaceable", which helped the album regain its strength.[155] It climbed to number six the following week, becoming the week's "greatest gainer",[160] before exiting the top ten again.[161] By the end of 2006, the album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA),[162] and became the 38th best-selling album of that year in the United States.[163]

    B'Day re-entered the top ten again at number six on the chart dated January 27, 2007, while Dreamgirls: Music from the Motion Picture was at the top.[164] It remained within the top ten the following week at number ten,[165] before falling to number 13 on the chart dated February 10.[166] The RIAA re-certified B'Day triple platinum on April 16, combining the sales from the standard and Deluxe Edition releases.[162] On the Billboard 200 chart dated April 21, B'Day jumped from number 69 to number six due to the release of its Deluxe Edition, gaining 903% in sales and becoming the week's "greatest gainer".[167] It remained within the top ten the following week at number seven,[168] before falling to number 13 on the chart dated May 5.[169] The album has spent a total of 74 weeks on the Billboard 200.[170] It became the 11th best-selling album of 2007 in the US.[171] As of August 2022, the album has sold 5 million copies in the country.[172][173]

    Internationally, B'Day was met with similar success. In Canada, it reached number two on the

    Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ).[179][180]

    In the United Kingdom, B'Day debuted at numbers three and one on the

    UK R&B Albums Chart, respectively, on September 11, 2006, selling 35,012 copies in its first week.[181][182] Its Deluxe Edition peaked at numbers eight and three on the UK Albums Chart and UK R&B Albums Chart, respectively, on April 29, 2007.[183][184] The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) certified the standard edition platinum for shipping 300,000 units, and the Deluxe Edition gold for shipping 100,000 units.[185] As of July 3, 2011, B'Day has sold 385,078 copies in the United Kingdom.[182] Throughout Europe, the album peaked at number three on the European Top 100 Albums,[186] while reaching the top ten in Denmark, Flanders, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland.[178][187] It was certified platinum in Europe by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) for sales of one million copies within the continent.[188] As of 2013, B'Day has sold eight million copies worldwide.[189]

    Controversies

    "Ring the Alarm" was falsely rumored to be written about the alleged affair between Rihanna (pictured) and Jay-Z.

    B'Day was a subject of various controversies. The music video for its lead single "Déjà Vu" caused controversy due to its sexually suggestive content. A news article published by Hindustan Times reported that a particular scene in the video is suggestive of oral sex.[91] Natalie Y. Moore of In These Times echoed the latter's commentary, writing that the video showcases Beyoncé "strutting her sexuality", and that in Jay-Z's scenes it "looks as if any minute now she'll give him fellatio".[190] The video later appeared on Yahoo! Music News' list "Real Turkeys: The Worst Videos of All Time", which pointed to the negative fan reaction and stated: "It's probably the least horrific video listed ... but as far as Beyoncé videos go, it is a stinker."[191] According to an MTV News staff report, as of July 2006, over two thousand people had signed an online petition addressed to Beyoncé's record label Columbia Records, demanding a reshoot for the video.[192] By the end of August 2006, over five thousand additional fans had signed it.[193] The petition requested the video to be taped again because it was considered to be "an underwhelming representation of the talent and quality of previous music-video projects of Ms. Beyoncé".[192] Included in the list of offenses towards the video were "a lack of theme, dizzying editing, over-the-top wardrobe choices, and unacceptable interactions" between Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Beyoncé's dance moves were also called into question by the petition, qualifying them as "erratic, confusing and alarming at times".[192] Additionally, fans complained about sexual theme depicted in the video, describing that some scenes as "unacceptable interactions [between Beyoncé and Jay-Z]" while also complaining of a "non-existent sexual chemistry" between the two.[191]

    The lyrics of "Ring the Alarm" were rumored to be about Barbadian singer Rihanna's relationship with rapper and Beyoncé's now-husband Jay-Z.[194][195] According to a media speculation, Beyoncé, Rihanna and Jay-Z were part of a love triangle in 2006. It was rumored that Jay-Z had always been faithful to Beyoncé until he met Rihanna, whose popularity grew considerably during that year, who tempted Jay-Z to be in a romantic relationship with her while he was still with Beyoncé.[196] As commented by Tom Breihan of The Village Voice, Beyoncé took advantage of "[people's] sympathy and unleash[ed] a burst of public rage in the form of ['Ring the Alarm']".[196] In an interview for Seventeen, she, however, clarified that the lyrics had no connection with Rihanna, before adding that she was unaware of the rumors that had been circulating.[196][197] Concerned that someone was trying to sabotage the release of B'Day, her father and manager Mathew Knowles released an official statement:

    It is apparent that there is a consistent plan by some to create chaos around Beyoncé's B'Day album release on September 4 in the US. First, it was a petition against the single, 'Déjà Vu', then a rumor regarding conflict between Beyoncé and Rihanna, seizures caused by the 'Ring the Alarm' video, putting out a single to compete with LeToya's album and now to add to all the ridiculous rumors, is my plan to postpone the release of her 'B'Day' album. What will be next? Beyoncé's cut off all her hair? Dyed it green? Maybe she's singing the songs in reverse with some hidden subliminal message![198]

    The

    alligators during the photo shoot. Beyoncé revealed that using the alligators and taping their mouths shut was her idea. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an animal rights organization which had previously confronted her after she had used furs for her fashion line's clothing design, contacted a biologist who later wrote a letter to her, stating: "As a specialist in reptile biology and welfare, I'm concerned about your posing with a terrified baby alligator for your new album cover. Humans and alligators are not natural bedfellows, and the two should not mix at events such as photo shoots. In my view, doing so is arguably abusive to an animal."[199]

    Controversy also arose over the writing credits on "Irreplaceable". Ne-Yo, who co-wrote the song, told MTV: "Apparently Beyoncé was at a show somewhere and right before the song came on she said, 'I wrote this for all my ladies' and then the song came on ... The song is a co-write. I wrote the lyrics, I wrote all the lyrics. Beyoncé helped me with the melodies and the harmonies and the vocal arrangement and that makes it a co-write. Meaning my contribution and her contribution made that song what it is."[200] In 2011, Ne-Yo said that he wrote the song for himself, but thought that it would suit Beyoncé better, and later regretted giving the song to her.[201] Some of Beyoncé's fans read Ne-Yo's remark as disrespectful towards her.[202] However, he clarified his comment later through Twitter, writing: "I said I originally wrote the song for me. ... Once I realized how the song comes across if sung by a guy, that's when I decided to give it away."[202]

    In 2007, Beyoncé appeared on billboards and newspapers across Australia holding an antiquated

    prejudice in October 2007.[206]


    Impact and legacy

    According to an editor of web publication

    pop culture, also writing that "Get Me Bodied" is "now cemented as one of those songs that gets played by a DJ to get the crowd dancing at a wedding".[209]

    The website also wrote an article about B'Day Anthology Video Album on April 3, 2017, the tenth anniversary of its release, also calling it Beyoncé's first "visual album" and stating that it "laid the groundwork for Beyoncé to become the pioneering visual artist she is revered to as today."

    funk infused tracks already made an impression upon audio listens only, the visuals made the record pop to life."[212]
