So, amidst all the updates, video premieres, & such over the last couple days, it appears that today is all about Beyonce. Above, you can find a behind-the-scenes look at Beyonce's new album, which is now titled I Am..., as well as the making of the videos for its two lead singles "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" & "If I Were A Boy." The songs actually premiered today, so feel free to click on the banners below to hear each one:
I find it interesting that the choice was made to release two first singles when the new album will only features 10 tracks. Yeah. B'Day all over again. While B'Day justified its short tracklisting (I actually prefer the original issue to the re-release ... if that makes any sense), we'll see if I Am... will as well. Seems like a shame, considering Beyonce reportedly recorded 60-70 songs for the project. Go figure. It's not like a song can be bad if Beyonce sings it... Anyway, check out the cover art for the soundtrack to Beyonce's upcoming movie "Cadillac Records" below:
Beyonce plays Etta James in the film, which served as an inspiration for Beyonce as she recorded her forthcoming effort. The soundtrack, which features four songs from Beyonce, hits stores on December 2nd. Lastly, here is the spread from Beyonce's Essence magazine cover shoot:
Gorgeous. It goes without saying that I am very much looking forward to a new Beyonce record. I like the two new singles, but I'm hoping they grow on me. The videos look hot though. Beyonce looks to be changing it up a bit from the industry norm at the moment, so that'll be cool & I'll try to keep an open mind about it. Look out: Beyonce's back!
