This cover of Beyonce’s, “Drunk In Love” off of her self-titled album, demonstrates a darkness that most people skim over due to her general popularity and superstar status. The Weeknd’s cover of her song is appropriate given his often darker perspectives. Tshepo Mokoena’s article in The Guardian discusses the dark side of Beyonce’s song analyzing Jay-Z’s increasingly controversial line:
"I'm Ike, Turner, turn up / Baby no I don't play / Now eat the cake, Anna Mae / I said eat the cake, Anna Mae"
His line brings another level of meaning into a song that is seemingly lovey-dovey, with a reference to domestic abuse.
