Beyonce ONLY listens to 70s music

from Launch


-- The old-school influence of Beyonce's song "Work It Out" from the Goldmember soundtrack should not come as a surprise. The lead singer of Destiny's Child, who is working on a solo album, said that the CD changer in her car is loaded with music from more than 20 years ago.

The singer, who made her big-screen debut in July opposite Mike Myers in Goldmember, said, "Actually, I listen...only thing I listen to is '70s music. I love Aretha Franklin. You can hear that in the single 'Work It Out.' James Brown. I love Donny Hathaway. Suggie Otis. Stevie Wonder. Those are a few. Oh. Of course Marvin Gaye. Minnie Riperton, a lot of people."

Beyonce added that she stopped buying contemporary music several years ago. "I haven't bought a current CD since I was 15," she said.

"Work It Out," which has been remixed by Victor Calderone and Maurice Joshua, is Number 20 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.

Now the REAL question lies in, is she only listening to 70s music to be different? Seems to me this girl is always looking for shit to set her apart... which is the same for all of us, I suppose.

Good thing you live in another state, or I would be forced to kill you.

That is nice that she acknowleges those who set the standard for funk and soul...but I still don't like her but Work It Out was tight!

Good Morning Everyone...

Yes the woman has good musical taste. But people born in September normally do smile. Can't wait for her solo recording. Should be interesting.

Her solo CD is called 'Dangerously In Love' and it won't be released until January 2003.
