In her documentary Life Is But a Dream, Beyoncé could be heard saying: “I want to sing from my heart.” A simple sentence that, in retrospect, explains the rupture that followed.
Fewer interviews, fewer red carpets, fewer public moments. The silence was anything but absence though. For Beyoncé, the industry lost its ability to dictate her timing.
And this state of mind was the catalyst and foundation for her highly-praised, highly anticipated, soon-to-be classic fifth album. Boys, girls, gays and theys, THIS is BEYONCÉ.
