History may well remember June 2018 as the month when nobody did their best work, but everyone felt compelled to do something. But just a little silliness goes an awfully long way, even when all the Forbes List triumphalism seems to be going nowhere. Every last second of Everything Is Love’s 38-minute runtime is that defiant and triumphant, though it never gets anywhere near that infectiously silly again. Beyoncé is, amazingly, not the first pop star to pay homage to that particular moment in cinematic history, but her version is, obviously, the best. Her voice jumps an octave between that last fuck and you, like a puzzle solved, like a treasure chest opened, like Tidal finally accepting your password. If I gave two fucks, two fucks about streaming numbers Maybe you won't remember any of that verse in a week, but you will most certainly remember all of Beyoncé’s, swaggering and buoyant, her voice skipping across every syllable like so many gilded lily pads. Jay-Z is in there somewhere, rapping with grouchy dexterousness about his various recent legal woes. The song is called “Nice,” a pop-up Taj Mahal of sumptuously decaying piano and concussive bass coproduced by Pharrell. Yes, the 20-year-old Dave Chappelle stoner comedy yes, that scene from Half Baked. So for her to be on that stage and reclaim her power… and the song is called ‘My Power,’ you can't write a better script.What you need to know immediately about Everything Is Love, the surprise joint album from Jay-Z and Beyoncé that sent a thrilled but weary nation scurrying back to Tidal on Saturday afternoon, is that Beyoncé quotes Half Baked. “Since she was born she's been scrutiny and the public eye and everyone having an opinion-even as a little girl, how she keeps her hair. “What makes me super proud and I still get goosebumps seeing her walk on stage… Blue's been born into a life she didn't ask for,” he said. For nine months we were like, ‘look at the little blueberry.’ So it was just natural, we just took the ‘berry’ off and called her Blue.”Ībout Blue's dancing to the song “My Power” at Renaissance, Jay-Z stated the choice was about “reclaiming her power” after having so much toxic attention directed her way. Like, ‘Look at the little blueberry!’ It was like a nickname. But when we got the sonograms, you know, is super small, and we was calling her a blueberry.

“It was supposed to be Brooklyn, that was the name we had in theory. “She was meant to be Brooklyn,” the rapper admitted. Her dad could not be more proud.ĭuring a new interview with Gayle King for CBS Mornings, Jay-Z shared behind-the-scenes details on how Blue worked up to her debut and also dropped the info that “Blue Ivy” was not the couple's first choice for a name when they were expecting. The pre-teen was celebrated for her dancing skills this summer as she joined Beyoncé and her back-up dancers during the Renaissance Tour. Now, at 11-years-old, Blue Ivy is confident enough in herself to stand in that spotlight next to her mother on stage. Jay-Z and Beyoncé's eldest daughter Blue Ivy Carter has been in the spotlight almost since the moment she was born.
