Ego video

0 Comments

Knowles releases music video for single Ego from her album I Am… Sasha Fierce. 

My goal for the video is simplicity.  I saw this old tape of Bob Fosse’s wife, and I used that as inspiration. I thought in this world, with all the technology and everything that’s going on, to strip everything down—great idea. So I kind of did the same thing, but glossy and black, for Ego.

Knowles appears on the cover of the June 2009 issue of Marie Claire magazine. She talks about her song Single Ladies.

More than anything, the song celebrates being single. It’s like, if you’ve been doing all you can and it’s not happening for you, go out and have you a good old time. Put on your sexy dress and move on. I know I’m stronger in the songs than I really am. Sometimes I need to hear it myself. We all need to hear those empowering songs to remind us.

Knowles appears on the cover of the June 2009 issue of Self magazine. She talks about her cheat food, her future, and her three strategies to stay motivated.

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!”

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.

Takes a break

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.

Knowles appears on the cover of the February 2010 issue of Allure magazine. She talks about Jay-Z’s album and her mother.

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.
