Review Roundup: Lloyd – ‘King of Hearts’

Lloyd aims for the crown with King of Hearts, his fourth album and first since 2008’s Lesson in Love, boasting a royal lineup including André 3000, R. Kelly, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, and Keri Hilson. The smooth operator and executive producer Polow Da Don craft a star-studded set featuring everything from the hilariously raunchy “Dedication to My Ex (Miss That)” to the politically-minded “World Cry.” Did he deliver a winning hand? Find out below.

USA Today: Producer Polow Da Don provides most of the tracks and injects them with infectious thump, but it’s Lloyd’s energetic but smooth deliveries that create a diverse set of keepers. 3/4

The New York Times: His finest moment remains Street Love, from 2007, one of the frothiest R&B albums in recent memory. In places King of Hearts approaches that album’s cool breeze. It’s produced largely by Polow Da Don, who clearly sees Lloyd as something of a muse. He’s feeling the full range of his lushness here, from the exuberant horns on “Cupid” and a pointedly romantic sax on “Naked” to the clustered, mournful guitars on “This Is 4 My Baby.”

Los Angeles Times: Janelle Monáe, Katy B, The-Dream, Frank Ocean and even Beyoncé have delivered recent efforts that transcend the trappings of modern soul. Lloyd Polite could stand to follow their example and be a little ruder. 2.5/4

The Washington Post: Lloyd holds his own against guest stars such as Chris Brown (on the messy electro-R&B track

Beyoncé Says Jay-Z Paved the Way for Glastonbury Performance

Beyoncé was on cloud nine after her history-making performance at Glastonbury on Sunday. Moments after coming off stage, a beaming B could hardly contain her excitement when reflecting on the career milestone.

“I’m completely high. It’s so surreal what just happened,” she told Lauren Laverne and Jo Whiley. “This is like a highlight of my career.”

The global superstar had been preparing the headlining set for about two months in advance. “I don’t normally do festivals and 175,000 people, and I was very nervous,” she said. “And everyone gave me so much love and I will never, ever, ever, ever forget this.”

She sent over the 90-minute set list to festival veteran and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin for approval, and believes that Jay-Z’s headline-making performance in 2008 opened the door for her.

“I was able to see my husband perform here a couple years ago and it was one of the most exciting nights for me, and I don’t know if I would have been asked to come if he didn’t do the performance,” revealed B.

Video: Lady Gaga – ‘The Edge of Glory’

There’s no hatching from eggs or controversial biblical themes in the video for Lady Gaga’s latest single “The Edge of Glory.” Instead, the only surprise is the lack of surprises. The pop megastar takes a simpler approach with her latest work, wearing the same studded Versace outfit and black-and-white wig throughout the entire clip as she cavorts outside a brick building resembling her New York apartment.

Clarence Clemons of the E Street Band, who recently suffered a stroke, plays the saxophone on a stoop as Gaga climbs the fire escape and dances on the sidewalk while pink lights illuminate the night sky.

Choreographer Laurieann Gibson previously told Rap-Up TV that something “very fishy” would happen in the video, but we didn’t see anything of the sort. Was the original concept scrapped in favor of something less edgy?
