Survivor
(Columbia)
Release Date: 05/01/2001 12:00
Reviewed by Laura Sinagra
L’Oréal pitchbabe Beyoncé and her supreme flankettes have outstripped the bugaboos, bill collectors and bounced bandmates that might have held them back. Hard as onyx, “Independent Women Part II” reconstitutes sisterly solidarity as threat, while the mock-opera melody is pulverized by a four-to-the-floor beat-down. “Bootielicious” manages to be both Christian and sexy thanks to a sample from Stevie Nicks’s lusty “Edge of Seventeen.” Aside from disposable ballads and the sappy “Perfect Man,” Survivor blasts haters, child molesters and “been-around-the-block-females,” keeping the blood up as they whup ass.
