Sexiness is also about knowing what's sexy to you. To me, spaghetti is sexy, especially when it's served off the tips of a man's fingers. I like that. And I think wine is sexy, just before sex. It relaxes me. But if I want to get a serious groove on -- if I want an out-of-body experience -- I'm all about the sloe-gin fizz.
“…What Jay and I have is real. It’s not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It’s real.”
—Beyoncé
In an intimate interview with ESSENCE, megastar Beyoncé dishes on her new album, Jay-Z, and life in the spotlight. Costarring in two upcoming films, the psychological thriller “Obsessed” and “Cadillac Records,” where she’ll star as Etta James, the Queen B is preparing to dominate the box office and the music charts. The singer says her new album, coming in November, is her most personal to date. For the first time ever, she opens up to ESSENCE about paparazzi, the wedding, the rumored engagement ring, and what we all missed!
Martina Topley-Bird and Cee-Lo did something for this song called “Make My Day.” That’s really it. You know I ain’t really loading my album up with a lot of guest appearances. As producers, The Neptunes took the music somewhere we could really be creative. We created Common music, but it’s really danceable. You can move to it, just let loose. I create my music to have a soul to it and to have a good feeling. It’s very thoughtful. This music shows that this is the way I enjoy myself It’s more about feeling.
Ok. So are you excited about it?
I’m super excited about it. It’s some of the most fun music I’ve ever done. The fact that people call me and say they hear my songs at the club is like victory to me because I’ve never had that. When I was touring I went through Prague and I kept picturing how I want my music to be played there. I was watching people enjoy themselves to all this music. I was like I’m missing that from my palate. So, I created that organically with The Neptunes and Mr. DJ. And it feels right. Now, I think I got some music that people will enjoy themselves to, so I’m really enthused about it!
