Summary

[edit]
Non-free media information and use rationale true for Halo (Beyoncé Knowles song)
Description

A sound sample of "Halo" (Beyoncé Knowles song) recorded by Beyoncé Knowles for her 2008 album I Am... Sasha Fierce.

Source

From the mentioned album (I Am... Sasha Fierce).

Article

Halo (Beyoncé Knowles song)

Portion used

A 26-second sample taken from the 4:21 track.

Low resolution?

Yes. Low quality, but enough to suffice understanding of the song in the article.

Purpose of use

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

  • It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken
  • The sound is used for identification in the context of critical commentary and discussion of the composition of the single.
  • It makes a significant contribution to the readers' understanding of the article and the song, which cannot be conveyed by words alone.
  • It illustrates how "Halo"'s bridge and chorus includes R&B undertones, and helps the reader to aurally identify the sound generated by the sweeping strings, and the percussive beats (step sounds), which augments the cascading piano work. It also demonstrates the aspect of "Halo" which critics compared to Rihanna's song "Umbrella".
Replaceable?

As a single, it is protected by copyright; therefore a free use alternative would not exist.

Other information

Use for this file does not compete with the purposes of the original track, namely the artist's providing services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.
