Background

"Beautiful Monster"'s original cover art was revealed online on May 21, 2010, which was a close-up of Ne-Yo's profile with a mysterious woman lurking in a forest in the background. [2] Although another cover art was revealed with the forest background altered to a city, including buildings and a flashing car light, the original cover with the forest background was eventually selected as the official cover art. [3] The song was written by Ne-Yo and produced by longtime collaborators Stargate, responsible for producing some of his biggest hits such as "So Sick", "Because of You", and "Closer". [4] "Beautiful Monster" premiered online on May 25, 2010. [5]

"Beautiful Monster" is an uptempo pop and dance song, containing electropop, new rave, house and Eurodisco influences, [6] [7] [8] featuring Ne-Yo's vocals over "strobing dancefloor beats." [9] "Beautiful Monster" has been described as "spookily anthemic", having "big filler sweeps", and "decimated snare builds" of '90s EDM. [8] The song has been compared to the sound of Michael Jackson, specifically Ne-Yo's "backing vocals and audible breath intake" according to Bill Lamb of About.com. [6] Alistair Dickinson of PopMatters said "Ne-Yo’s Michael Jackson-esque wails and screams are still in full effect". The song is composed of "out-of-tranc-y keyboard lines" and a "throbbing drumbeat." [7]

"Beautiful Monster" consists lyrically about being attracted to a dangerous woman. [9] August Brown of the Los Angeles Times compared the "topical and sonic" content of the song to Lady Gaga's work on The Fame Monster , specifically the lyrical basis of "Bad Romance" and "Monster". [8] The song is written in common time with a maintaining tempo of 125 beats per minute, written in F minor, and Ne-Yo's vocals range two octaves from F4 to B♭5. [10]

Ne-Yo described the song to UK music writer Pete Lewis: "The song itself is a small piece of a much larger puzzle. In that the album it comes from - Libra Scale - is based upon this short story that I wrote, which basically follows these three characters who are forced to choose between money-power-and-fame versus love... And the song 'Beautiful Monster' actually represents the mind-state of the man in the story whenever he comes into contact with his love interest-slash-nemesis. Whose name is Diamond Eye, and who really is best described as 'a beautiful monster'! You know, she's forbidden fruit; she's that girl who you know is gonna be nothing but trouble... But - because she's so intriguing - even if it literally might cost you your life, you still cannot resist her aura. Which is where the hook 'She's a monster, a beautiful monster; But I don't mind' comes from!" [11]

Critical reception

August Brown of the Los Angeles Times complimented the song, calling it Ne-Yo's "most evocative effort", adding that "no male pop singer short of T-Pain can stack harmonies better right now, and when he peels off those runs of 'I don't mind' after the choruses". [8] However Brown commented that, "Ne-Yo is better at writing dark edges into songs than performing them himself; he's just too put-together to truly do the freakily possessed lover act." [8] Bill Lamb of About.com favored the track's "burbling Eurodisco feel", and commented, "It also always feels like the ghost of Michael Jackson is never far away in the music of Ne-Yo." [6] Alistair Dickinson of PopMatters also gave the song a positive review, comparing it to Michael Jackson. [7] Brad Wete of Entertainment Weekly compared the song to Ne-Yo's previous hit "Closer", stating, "Ne-Yo’s brand of progressive R&B has been a winner so far. 'Monster' should be a beast, too." [4] Although Mariel Concepcion of Billboard said the song did not boast the lyricism of Ne-Yo's past songs, she said, "the beat's thumping bassline and the singer/songwriter's smooth voice make for a perfect combination on this summer hit in the making." [12]

Chart performance

"Beautiful Monster" was most successful in the United Kingdom, where it became Ne-Yo's third single to top the UK Singles Chart after "So Sick" in March 2006 and "Closer" in June 2008, and reached the top ten in Korea and Italy, becoming Ne-Yo's highest peak there. It was certified Platinum in Italy for sales over 30,000 units. In the U.S., however, it didn't even crack the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number fifty-three. It also underperformed on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, peaking at sixty-one. The song failed to match the success of the lead singles from his previous three albums, "So Sick", "Because of You" and "Closer", which all reached the top 10. The song, however, did top the Dance Club Songs chart for one week, making it his second number one there after "Closer" from 2008.

Music video

The video for "Beautiful Monster", directed by Wayne Isham, premiered on July 14, 2010, along with the video for "Champagne Life". The video begins with Ne-Yo stumbling through an alley (possibly intoxicated) and causing havoc with his supernatural powers. These powers were demonstrated in the music video for "One in a Million" where he levitates a rose to a woman to court her and stops a moving taxi to keep her from ignoring him. After throwing a car and causing an explosion, Ne-Yo encounters two men with long dreadlocks and white suits that drop from the sky to fight him. Both men have glowing, white, right eyes that represent the "Beautiful Monster's" influence over them. After choreographed fighting, Ne-Yo defeats the two men and quickly arrives at a red carpet event. He then walks into a club where all of a sudden, everyone freezes mid-action. Some of these clubbers start dancing (all with the glowing white eye) and send Ne-Yo into another room where the "Beautiful Monster" waited. After a heated struggle, the Monster flashes both her silver, glowing eyes at Ne-Yo. For the rest of the video, Ne-Yo has his hat over his right eye and dances with other people in white suits, showing that the "Beautiful Monster" had won and he was now hers.

This video is the last in a series that Ne-Yo created. The first music video in the series is "Champagne Life" which shows Ne-Yo to be a part of a crime-fighting group enjoying money, women and fame. The second video of the series is "One in a Million" in which Ne-Yo has his pick of the women but spends his time trying to court a seemingly uninterested girl. The third video of the series is "Beautiful Monster" which shows that the Monster who leads to Ne-Yo's demise is actually the uninterested girl from the previous video.

Promotion

Ne-Yo performed the song for the first time in Brooklyn on June 14, 2010. [13] He also performed the song on So You Think You Can Dance on July 1, 2010, [14] on the Brazilian TV show Altas Horas , on August 14, 2010, and on German talent show Popstars: Girls forever on September 23, 2010, and on This Morning on September 7, 2010.
