download beyonce songs album sexy lady Just Some Deliciously Dirty Songs by Female Artists. In case there was any doubt about it, I’m a big-time feminist. I will rant and rave for hours about feminist theory, problematic “feminist” celebs (looking at you, Meghan Trainor), and how the patriarchy has wronged every single one of us. One actually kind of controversial view that I hold (and will defend until the end) is that one of the most important things we can do to uplift women is celebrate female sexual pleasure with the goal of ending the stigma and misinformation that surrounds female sexuality. There has been much debate in feminist theory over the years about the role that female sexuality should play in the discussion—of course, women are trying to shake the idea that we are objects of pleasure, focusing on our sexual lives could serve to further reinforce that perception… But I think that’s BS. In my view, only good can come from reclaiming and reframing female sexuality as something within our control. Allowing women to not just talk about, but celebrate, their own sexuality in the public sphere gives us the chance to change the narrative about the function of sex in our lives— because as much as Americans don’t like to acknowledge it, sex is a part of our lives. It’s for this reason that I love songs by female artists that unapologetically celebrate getting it in. They give women who would be otherwise uncomfortable talking about their bodies an outlet in which to discuss their desires. I also just like screaming along to these songs about getting in on while I’m driving. Here are some favorites: “ Side to Side ,” Ariana Grande ft. Nicki Minaj. Okay, so maybe at first we didn’t quite realize that Ariana’s ode to getting “railed” was, in fact, about getting railed, but once we did we couldn’t stop listening. This song is raunchy AF and a perfect jam to prep you for a night out on the town. “ Genie in a Bottle ,” Christina Aguilera. I’m including this because I think it subconsciously started my passion for dirty songs by women. I listened to this song every day as a tiny child. I thought it was literally about genies at the time. Then, I listened to it again at age 18-ish and I realized how wrong I was and how much more I love it now. “I feel like I’ve been locked up tight For a century of lonely nights Waiting for someone to release me…” Everything Rihanna Has Ever Released. I think we all know that RiRi is the queen of raunchy tracks. Here are just a few options for a “Dirty Songs” playlist: “ Shut Up and Drive “ “ Cake “ “ Cockiness (Love It) “ Additionally, “S&M,” “Skin,” “Watch and Learn,” “You Da One,” “Rude Boy,” and on and on and on. All hail Rihanna, Queen of sexually liberating music. “ Hands to Myself ,” Selena Gomez. This song isn’t quite as explicit as some of the others, but it’s undeniably sexy. The beat, Selena’s breathy voice, the video —it’s steamy. Not to mention, the idea that a woman is just out here saying like “yes, I want to bone and I’m not going to apologize for it” (“I mean, I could, but why would I want to?”) is great. I love it. “ 212 ,” Azealia Banks. I wasn’t even sure if I should embed this song here—it’s that explicit (so consider this your very, very NSFW warning). Sure, Azealia Banks is super, super , super off the rails right now, but hey—this song is good. It’s angry in a very traditionally masculine way and uses frank language to discuss (and celebrate) sex from a female perspective. It’s unexpected and it’s catchy AF. While I think sexual aggression is not a great thing on the whole, it’s refreshing to see a woman in the drivers seat for once. “ Je T’Aime… Moi Non Plus ,” Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin. Technically this is by a man and a woman, but goddamn it’s hot, hot, hot. Subtle whispers in French and (what was rumored to be, but never confirmed as) a real, live female orgasm (cue shock and awe) in the recording. Sure, there’s a man involved, but here’s the thing: this song was recorded in 1969 and depicted a female orgasm. That’s a big deal. Mainstream movies nowadays usually can’t do that without earning them R- ratings. Sure, it got the track banned from many radio stations back in the day, but they stuck by it. That’s amazing. Yoncé, Yoncé, Yoncé. Another artist who is a certified pro at sexy lady jams is obviously Queen Bey. I’m not going to lie to you, she makes up at least a third of my “Dirty Songs by Dirty B*tches” playlist (which is an actual, literal playlist that I have). Over the years, she’s changed her approach to sexy songs a number of times, but each Beyoncé era has had it’s fair share of get down songs… Though her surprise album Beyoncé definitely had the most: “ Drunk in Love “ “ Partition “ “ Blow “ All of them are fantastic, but my all-time favorite is actually Beyoncé’s oldie-but-goodie, “ Ego .” This song is my everything. It’s impossible to not feel like a bad b*tch after listening to it. Now, please go make a playlist, blast it in the car, and scream along while giving zero f*cks who hears. It’s a really fun way to start smashing the patriarchy and celebrating your sexy-ass self in the process. Top 10 Best Beyonce Songs. Ne-Yo began writing "Irreplaceable" thinking of it as a country song. However, when the song was turned over to Beyonce to perform, it became an R&B-laced female empowerment anthem. The Norwegian duo Stargate contributed to the songwriting and production. "Irreplaceable" met with strong critical acclaim and headed straight to #1 on the pop singles chart and stayed for ten weeks. It received a Grammy Award nomination for record of the year while making the line "to the left, to the left" stick in everyone's mind. The Anthony Mandler-directed music video features Beyonce's all-female band Suga Mama. It was nominated for video of the year at the MTV Video Music Awards. A Spanish language version of "Irreplaceable" broke into the top 10 on the Latin songs chart. When Stargate initially worked with Ne-Yo on "Irreplaceable," it was sung by a male vocalist, but everyone agreed that a female vocalist would be more suitable. Although she liked the song from the beginning, Beyonce didn't think "Irreplaceable" fit the gritty, club-oriented sound of her album B'Day . However, producer Swizz Beatz convinced her to include it in a more R&B-oriented style. "Crazy In Love" featuring Jay-Z 2003. Kicked off with a blasting horn figure, rapping by Jay-Z and sung "uh oh uh oh," this song was a triumphant opening salvo for Beyonce as a solo artist. Basking in critical acclaim, "Crazy In Love" went to the top of the pop singles chart for eight weeks. It also topped the R&B and dance charts. "Crazy In Love" was the winner of two Grammy awards, including Best R&B Song, and let everyone know Beyonce was serious about moving beyond her work with Destiny's Child. The French horn hook in "Crazy In Love" samples the 1970 song "Are You Woman (Tell Me So)" by the Chi-Lites. Much of Beyonce's debut album Dangerously In Love was complete for a planned release in October 2002. However, the album was delayed to leave room for the success of fellow Destiny Child member Kelly Rowland's duet with Nelly "Dilemma." During the delay period, Beyonce went back to the studio to record more songs. "Crazy In Love" was one of those. It was released in May 2003, and it topped the R&B and dance charts in addition to its pop success. "Single Ladies" (Put a Ring On It) 2008. The acclaim heaped on the music video accompanying "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)," including an MTV Video Music Award for video of the year, should not detract from the pleasures of the song itself. It was one of two singles, along with "If I Were a Boy," released to introduce the album I Am. Sasha Fierce . The upbeat, catchy hook is attached to lyrics that empower women in romantic relationships. It has also become a favorite for wedding receptions. "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" reached #1 on the pop singles, R&B, and dance charts, and has sold over four million digital copies. It earned three Grammy Awards including song of the year. Christopher "Tricky" Stewart was inspired to begin work on "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" after Beyonce's secret marriage to rapper Jay-Z in April 2008. He conceived the song as the only public statement she ever made about the marriage. Rolling Stone ranked the recording as the best single of 2008. "Drunk In Love" 2013. A decade after her first #1 solo smash "Crazy In Love," Beyonce revisited the relationship with now-husband Jay-Z in the intensely erotic "Drunk In Love." The song was included on her surprise released self-titled album, and the song climbed to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
