Track number six from Beyonce’s surprise self titled album. On the album, “Partition”, like “Haunted”, has two parts to it – “Yoncé” and “Partition”. The former of the two features the birth of a new alter-ego – Yoncé – and has Bey half-rapping through clever verses about asserting her sexuality in the club. The second part – “Partition” – tells of, quite frankly, sex with her man in the back seat of the car, slinking suggestively through a simple drum beat, finger snaps, and occasionally pulsing synthesizers.
The videos for “Yoncé” and “Partition” are separate despite the two being released as one track in the album. Directed by Ricky Saiz, Yoncé’s video features models Chanel Iman, Jourdan Dunn and Joan Smalls. The video largely takes place in a dirty Brooklyn alley, and is clear in its spontaneity. Very street, gritty and somewhat provocative, it is certainly one of the most laid-back works on the visual album.
“Partition”, on the other hand, is very well-thought out. The video is irected by Jake Nava, who is responsible for not only “***Flawless” and “Grown Woman” on Beyoncé but also many of Bey’s most iconic videos, including “Single Ladies”. Taking place at the Parisian strip club Crazy Horse, it is certainly one of the most sexual videos Beyoncé has ever done.
I was 195 pounds when I gave birth… I worked crazily to get my body back. I wanted to show my body. I wanted to show that you can have a child and you can work hard and you can get your body back. I know that there’s so many women that feel the same thing after they give birth. You can have your child and you can still have fun and still be sexy and still have dreams and still live for yourself. I’m not embarrassed about it, and I don’t feel like I have to protect that side of me because I do believe that sexuality is a power we all have.
-Bey commenting on the relevance of the “Partition” video

If he has Greek mythology tatooed on him, then it’s only right for him to enjoy Greek food (Souvlaki).
This is also good, because like Versace’s Medusa logo, Zeus also represents Ancient Greece.
However, it’s not only the tattoo on him proving his Greek. He is half greek actually! And his real name is Costadinos Contostavlos, as his brother has also a greek name ‘Spiros’. Dappy’s father is of Greek-Cypriot descent.
And yes, that’s SOUVLAKI!!!!

“Glass Table Girls” is rapped at first, then sung at a lower pitch, instead of sung throughout in “House of Balloons” and sounds much darker. However, the lyrics are a lot less dark, accurately describing Abel’s favorite activities: having sex and doing drugs.
The flow and pitch of this section of the song is quite similar to how sounded in his leaked Noise EP in 2009, when he was under the name Kin Kane.
The switch in the song comes around the 3:30 mark.
