Beyoncé

In the past, I had never really thought of Beyoncé as anything more than another pop star making music for radio.

I didn't hate her music, but I didn't love it either.

When I was 15, in early 2009, I got an iTunes gift card and I decided to get the deluxe versions of her 3rd solo studio album I Am... Sasha Fierce.

I wasn't into popular music at all, but the album was heavily talked about, and I wasn't spending 

any real money on it.

Listening to this album changed my perspective on Pop music and female artists.

It was like she came into my life singing about all the right things at the right time.

I liked how the albums was like a dichotomy of the her because I feel like everyone has 2 sides to them.

This was when I started to fall in love with her as an artist.

I started watching videos and listening to interviews to learn more about her.

The main thing that attracted me to her musically was her hunger. It is extremely inspiring. She seems to always be thriving for more & not settling in with the norm. Going against the grain even if you're not sure whatever will work.
