Best Thing I Never Had video release

0 Comments

Knowles releases music video for single The Best Thing I Never Had from her album 4, directed by Diane Martel. The song was co-written and produced by J. Que Smith and Kenny “Babyface” Edmond. In the video Beyonce is depicted in a mock wedding.

It was really beautiful. People were all really excited like it was really my wedding. My mother was even like, ‘Aww,’ and I was like, ‘Mom, it’s a video. This is not my dress. This is not the real wedding.’ But I think it’s just one of those moments that every woman kind of fantasizes and relives.

I grew up with my mother walking past, and you could smell the faint scent of her fragrance—it always gave me this sense of comfort. I just thought it was so beautiful that she would walk by and leave her scent.

Takes a break

Knowles decides to take a break from working.

It’s definitely time to take a break, to recharge my batteries. I’d like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I need to just live life, to be inspired by things again.

Video Phone video

0 Comments

Knowles releases the music video for single Video Phone ft. Lady Gaga from her album I Am Sasha… Fierce. The video is directed by Hype Williams, co-writen and co-produced by Shandrae “Bangladesh” Crawford. GaGa:

You know she [Beyonce] is such a beautiful person, and I gotta tell you, I just adore her. I had kind of lost faith a little bit in meeting artists in the business and then I met Beyonce. She is a real, real woman. I have never laughed so hard on a video set in my life. We had the best time doing Video Phone.

I look at it, and I’m like, OK, I have to stay in shape. I buy something too small and then say, ‘I have a reason! I need to wear these jeans or this hot dress!’[All it takes is to] do a fitting and see that my costume doesn’t fit anymore, I know I have to keep things in all the right places!”
