She has talked about her miscarriage before becoming pregnant with her daughter Blue Ivy, and how devastating that was. My Thoughts: While this wasn’t the juiciest of novels, it was so engaging that hours would go by and I was still reading it. I have every album both standard and deluxe editions, most of her magazines (who reads magazines anymore), concert DVDs, and I've seen all her movies(most aren't that good). In 2002, aged 21, Beyoncé was the featured on a song (“'03 Bonnie and Clyde") with her future husband, Jay-Z. I enjoy the background into the relationship and tension between Bey and her father, but, then again, the "facts" are compiled by people who supposedly have had a hand in Beyonce's life.But in general, she adheres to the sweaty demands of club music, singing and rapping to the carnal id.

Shortly after its debut it hit number one in the US and UK, eventually selling over four million copies in the United States alone and eight million worldwide.I was actually reading it like it a trashy tabloid or a having a conversation with a noisy old woman in her neighborhood, talking bout “GIIIIIRL, you ain’t never gone guess what I saw this morning. As time went on, she — like some of her contributors to Queen Bey — saw parallels between Beyoncé's life and her own. In all, this isn't a must-read - I've literally been picking away at it for years - but it reads well enough and definitely gives you the inside scoop on what went down throughout large swaths of Bey's career (the breakup of Destiny's Child in its various formats is definitely a highlight).

Together, the dynamic duo has earned record titles for the most Grammy awards won by a married couple, the highest earning couple in Hollywood ever, and the highest-grossing music tour by a duo (current year). While songs like “Run The World (Girls)”, “Formation” and “Freakum Dress” were designed to empower, tracks such as “1+1”, “If I Were A Boy” and “Pray You Catch Me” were more vulnerable, the often infallible Queen Bey laying out her insecurities for the world to see. Taraborrelli doesn't really give us any new information but what he does, is to create a timeline of events that allows her fans proper perspective on Beyonce's evolution from child prodigy to superstardom.I think, the last song of hers which I really enjoyed was Survivor, which came out about 16 years ago. I guess since it’s a book about her life it’s connected to what made her who she was, but it spent a little *too* much time on it in some parts. In her albums you get the huge exploration of marriage, but also sisterhood, and friendship…and she's layering them really masterfully and purposefully. Randy Taraborrelli Productions, Taraborrelli is currently developing and producing a number of television projects. I don't know that a BIG Beyonce fan would glean too many new insights but I certainly did, and again, found this particularly interesting to read a few years after publication, as it's almost quite prescient in a lot of ways about how much more firmly Beyonce would take stead of her career and music.

CH: Reflected no doubt in the high rates among black women of miscarriage, pre-term birth, stillbirth, and infant mortality. Though she hasn’t released a proper studio album since 2016’s sprawling visual statement Lemonade, she’s made a film ( Black Is King), released a collaborative record with her husband Jay-Z ( Everything Is Love), lent her voice to a Disney film ( The Lion King), dropped a series of singles, and masterminded her sportswear line Ivy Park—all while making clear that she’s intensely focused on celebrating the long legacy of Black musicians and artists, of which she is a part and beacon.
