Full of power and beauty, Beyoncé covers the August/September edition of Complex magazine. As part of the cover story Queen B shares some insights on her world...
On wanting to bring back “old school” R&B with her new music:
“Figuring out a way to get R&B back on the radio is challenging. 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.”
On being married to a rap genius:
“Jay’s music is more than music. His lyrics have fathered generations. 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?’”
On her legacy:
“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.”You can read the interview and see all the shots at Complex online. Additionally, check out the behind the scenes footage of the shoot below.
