BEYONCE COVERS ESSENCE

Queen B II is ready to regain her throne of world domination. She has a hubby, a new album, and 2 new movies “Obsessed” and “Cadillac Records.” The singer says her new album, coming in November, is her most personal to date. In the new essence she says about Jay Z:

“…What Jay and I have is real. It’s not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It’s real.”

[ON MAMA]

......My mom's never asked me for anything. My mom doesn't want anything from me but for me to be happy. And for me to succeed and be as good, as strong, as happy as I can be. So, knowing that, I'm just lucky to have that honesty in my life.

.......I always felt safe and I always felt secure because I knew that it was going to be okay. I knew it was 'cause my mom knew it was. She always let me know that regardless of this group, regardless of me singing, regardless of the movies, whatever, she loved me. And I'm young and I'm smart and everything I've ever wanted to do, I made it happen. So it goes beyond that, like I still have somewhere to go. I still have something else to do, this isn't the end of the world. And I think ... just knowing that, like right now if I never sell another record, it puts a whole 'nother perspective on this.

[ON HOW SHE WANTS TO BE REMEMBERED]

I don't want to be remembered as a member of this huge group that, you know, did whatever. I want to be acknowledged as a woman in a very talented group with great harmonies and great songs that made history and changed the culture of women, not only in America but all over the world. (A woman) who could sing a cappella and write her own songs and produce her own songs.
