Can we talk about Christmas in July?!?! A SERIOUS PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beyonce Knowles (my sister!) is the latest cover girl for COMPLEX magazine's August/September issue, which hits newsstands August 9th.
For the cover story, COMPLEX recruited photographer Thierry Le Gouès and artist Ebon Heath for Bey!
More from Beyonce's spread and behind the scene clip under the break.....
“Everything sounds the same on the radio. With 4 I tried to mix R&B from the ’70s and the ’90s with rock ‘n’ roll and a lot of horns to create something new and exciting. I wanted musical changes, bridges, vibrata, live instrumentation, and classic songwriting.”
“I’ve found that with hit records the melody and lyrics come together [naturally],” she explains. “I usually know from the hook if the song is something that transcends language, race, and genre, and if it’s something that affects pop culture. It’s something I can visualize people singing in stadiums all over the world. But my favorite songs on my albums are usually not my singles.”
“Jay’s music is more than music. His lyrics have fathered generations,” she says of her husband of three years. “All that he has overcome gives millions so much hope. There are moments when I see his lips moving and I can see lyrics floating above his head and I think, ‘Wow! How did I get so lucky to be able to witness this level of genius so closely?’”
“I just want my legacy to be great music. Someone who was a risk taker and someone who had songs that struck conversation and emotion.”
One thing about this bitch here is that she can take photo
