The result is a clangy, stilted, jangly, uneven, headache-inducing mess that is not at all helped by the aggressive, angry yelling style of singing she employs yet again. Miss Knowles gets princess points for trying to forge a new sound using everyday kitchen utensils. The desire to try out something new and clearly outside her comfort zone is admirable. But, just... no.

"More To Lose" is a prime example of the heights that he scaled as a musician. A shame he didn't pursue his other calling.

It may not break any ground, but boy is it damn addictive.
