A&E Dispatch | Beyoncé's new album 'Sasha Fierce' gets free MySpace preview

Girls, if you feel that your sky is falling and you need to recharge, go preview Beyoncé's new album, "I AM ... SASHA FIERCE."

Videos and songs are on her MySpace site — www.myspace.com/beyonce.

Her last album felt like an afterthought, as if the songs were B-sides off her debut album, "Dangerously in Love." But, Beyoncé's third solo album, coming out Tuesday, Nov. 18, returns with that same passion we know and love about this bold pop artist.

"SASHA FIERCE is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I'm working and when I'm on the stage," writes Beyoncé on her MySpace site. "The double album allows me to take more risks and really step out of myself, or shall I say, step more into myself, and reveal a side of me that people only know me see."

Be sure to check out her song, "If I Were A Boy" and its video. The theme of wanting to play out the male role of being seemingly responsibility free is common, but she flips the analogy in her video.

And her album title is genuine — if only we all had an alter ego to fiercely head into the world with.
