""Deja Vu," the first single from Beyonce's "B'Day", does bear a striking similarity to her 2003 monster smash "Crazy in Love" but that should be no surprise to any follower of popular music. Most artists "repeat" themselves because fans expect to hear the same with little variation.



"Deja Vu" also benefits from a killer video that showcases the singer's vocal skills along with her highly appealing body.



The remixes here are typical house workings featuring the standard amplified bass lines, the re-dubbed vocals, extended instrumental riffs, and constant repetition of the aforementioned.

"I'm feelin' the bassline on this track right now. It sounds like something out of Michael Jackson's Off The Wall LP. I'm really diggin' this though and the heads crash the floor when I put it on. My only beef is that Jay Z is slippin' on the mic. He does a decent job, but we all know he can come a lot better than he's been coming lately."
