- I AM. SASHA FIERCE represents another change of pace for Beyonc‚. Unlike the relatively streamlined, retro-soul inflected B'DAY, I AM... is a sprawling two-disc set designed to reflect two conflicting sides of Beyonc‚'s musical personality. The first disc sports reflective, sometimes moody ballads, while the second, attributed to Beyonc‚'s brash alter ego, Sasha Fierce, is loaded with propulsive dance-floor fillers. Except for this stylistic divide, I AM. pays only nominal attention to its supposed concept, focusing instead on a set of excellent, radio-ready songs--neatly avoiding the possibility of I AM. becoming some sort of Chris Gaines-style conceptual disaster. Though the second disc, which boasts the synth-drenched lead single, "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)," is more immediately gratifying, the impeccably produced ballads of the first disc represent a vast improvement on the often awkward torch songs that weighed down Beyonc‚'s first solo record.
Professional Reviews Rolling Stone (p.121) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The SASHA disc boasts Beyonce's most adventurous music yet....The girl who blew up going all melismatic has never sung with more restraint than she does on SASHA."
Entertainment Weekly (p.71) - "[S]everal of the high-gloss bangers on SASHA are more than equal to the gauntlet laid down by 'Single Ladies.'" -- Grade: B+
Billboard (p.77) - "[I]t's the classic, more timeless R&B songs on the I AM portion of the album that seem like a much-welcomed stretch for the singer.'

I am Sacha Fierce is differnt from Beyonce's previous albums but I have a feeling that this is something that she was going for.
It does show her diversity as an artist though which can be a brave thing these days in the music industry.
Her most powerful song to me is If I were a boy, which challanges the roles and behaviours of men and if we were to dominate them. I feel evry female will relate to this song and be touched by it.
Half of the album you will recognise by her previosu songs, expect boppy melodies and powerful lyrics that will make you sing and dance
Another great addition to your Beyonce collection. She has definately matured since she started.
