Further to that, the track goes off, particularly within a live capacity - it's absolutely relentless, which makes it a pretty thrilling listen from start to finish. 'APESHIT' demonstrates Beyoncé's phenomenal talent for rapping, besting her husband at his own game. I can only speak for myself, but I rated both tracks pretty highly for a few reasons. 'If I Were A Boy' and 'Halo' are two of her biggest singles, and both have left the rate. Honestly, I don't really think the single effect is what is propelling 'Diva' and 'APESHIT' - neither were particularly huge singles within Beyoncé's discography, commercially. I'm sorry, but I think y'all fucked up on that one guys. raw! It's huge, yet everything about it is so restrained outside of Beyoncé's performance.

I think of songs like 'Resentment,' 'I Miss You' or 'Heaven' where it feels like emotion is just pouring out of her and it results in her sounding so human, so real, so. But damn did it sneak up on me! Vulnerability is something Beyoncé does so well in a way that seems almost unintentional at times. Of course, when Lemonade came out, 'Sandcastles' wasn't an immediate standout of mine, it felt more like the little ballad of the album. How you can hear each inflection of her vocals and they all carry different conflicting emotions. AND YOUR FACE!' The mix of anger and deep sadness and remorse you can feel in her voice. Her delivery of the lines ' Pictures snatched out the frame/Bitch I scratched out your name. The way she sings the word ' cry' on the first verse and ' scars' on the last one. And I think it's true of its entire parent album, everything is so raw – the emotion, the energy, Beyoncé's vocals – but on 'Sandcastles,' there is nothing, no extravagant production, no fiery punchline, to distract you from the rawness of the song and honesty at play. On the subject of 'Sandcastles' being the first track from Lemonade that isn't 'Forward' to exit this rate.
