On August 21 R&B singer Beyonce Knowles wil release 'Irreemplazable,' an eight track Spanish language EP featuring select songs from Beyonce's hit album, B'Day.

At the same time a Wal-Mart exclusive CD/DVD combo of the EP will also be released. Special content includes a behind the scenes documentary entitled La Evolucion Latina de Beyonce (The Latin Evolution of Beyonce) as well as the music video for Beyonce's "Get Me Bodied" (Timbaland Remix) featuring Voltio.

The Spanish language EP follows close on the heels of B'Day's Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album raising Beyonce's Grammy total to 10. B'Day debuted at # 1 selling more than 530,000 copies and has already sold more than 4 million units worldwide to date.

Comprised of original material and tracks from B'Day and Dreamgirls, Irreemplazable starts off with a recording of the single, "Amor Gitano," with Grammy Award winning artist, Alejandro Fernandez. This fiery collaboration between Beyonce and Alejandro has topped the Spanish single charts and is also the theme song for the immensely popular telenovela (Spanish soap opera,) Zorro, airing on Telemundo. Returning to some of her older material Beyonce also sings a Spanish version of her Academy Award Nominated song, Oye (Listen), from her RIAA Certified Platinum soundtrack, Dreamgirls.

Following "Amor Gitano" and "Oye" on the EP is the hit title track, "Irreemplazable" (Irreplaceable), both in its original form and as a Nortena remix. In addition there are three different recordings of Beyonce and Shakira's sultry duet, "Beautiful Liar": one fully recorded in Spanish, another performed in Spanglish featuring Sasha (also known as Beyonce), and finally the English version of the single. Beyonce winds up Irreemplazable with a Timbaland remix of "Get Me Bodied" from B'Day featuring well known Reggaeton artist, Voltio.

Although it was released nearly a year ago, B'Day has lost none of its power, and Irreemplazable only reinvigorates the strength of this multi- Platinum album. Beyonce can be seen on her nationwide tour, which began in July, in over 40 major cities.

Hey I can't hate on them for getting all the cashola they can get out of it.

Important market!

she can hardly speak english. how in the hell can she put out an EP in spanish?

Doesn't she realize that she needs to take a break? Better yet, that we need a break from her? Sure, she is more talented than most popular acts today, but that really is not saying much.

Well i mean latin artists do english albums so here is Beyonce going the opposite way, i wouldnt have that much of an issue with this except for that "The Latin Evolution of Beyonce" just because U learn spanish and record an album in spanish dont make it like you all of sudden are a latin person, thats getting a little bit full of yourself i think. But this is just more of how many markets can they put her into. Im just waiting for the BDAY polka edition with the "Myron Floren" remix of Green Light.

i agree! it's like when singers think they can act because they can sing. damn, these people are so arrogant. she needs to stop. this means this chick aint taking no breaks anytime soon.

dancerella said:

Taking a break ?? She's going to release a DVD of the tour and a Live cd before the end of the year

Ya'll got me rollin', laughing! Nope! It doesn't seem like she'll be taking a break anytime soon. Hope she doesn't have a breakdown.

So she does one track with Shakira and now she's a Spanish singer?

This bitch needs to sit her azz down for a minute and think about this. And isn't this the THIRD time she's released "B-Day?"

She might milk this B'Day for it's worth. I wouldn't be surprised if she does a documentary--The Making of B'Day. Damn, I hope she doesn't read this.

ANOTHER B-Day???

God. That woman is desperate!?!

What makes me laugh is the thankyou notes in the album. "I want to thank all the guys who helped me make this album. It was the best two weeks of my life."

LOL. She really spends time over her projects.

Am I evil for hating her???

JackieBlue said:

dancerella said:

lol that's like the christian dentist on seinfeld who cenverted and
became jewish and two days later he was cracking jewish jokes. some
people just don't know when they've reached the line

carlcranshaw said:

how about b-day, b-day reloaded and b-day revolutions

lol

"the oracle told me this album is the one"

TotalAlisa said:

i know it's evil to laugh but that's hilarious

from what show is that clip? lol. i guess it's
bad karma for the time they just watched mshel
fall off the stage like nothing happened.

dancerella said:

lol. I love Beyonce, but that's funny . And true btw. lol

IstenSzek said:

Now I just need some great visuals to go with these titles.

Damn, can't this heffa actually go away for a time for us to say:


"Hmmmm, I wonder what's Beyonce's doing....."



Beyonce, please:

Go take a vacation
Go read a book
Hell, go take a decent shit!

Just stop being everywhere!

JackieBlue said:

Shit, and a documentary would be worthless because she only did the album in two or three weeks. What would it prove?

mrsnet said:

hell yeah, you all know that's the truth!

silverchild said:

she would try to make it seem like she's a musical genius! like "ooh look at me, i created a masterpiece in 2 weeks"!

dancerella said:

I know right! B you had some cool cuts on B'Day, but it wasn't great or hot...

Well with the Grammy closing period coming up October 1st, they are trying to get this in. But let me tell you this if Beyonce is nominated for a Latin Award you are going to see some crazy ass protesting going on, if you think the Latin community hating on JLO was harsh , u aint seen nothing yet. The only good thing for that is that there is a different committee for the actual Latin Grammys show as opposed to the 4 awards that are given away at the Regular Grammys in the Latin Field. Also i know that SONY is pushing to not only get BDAY a nomination for RB album of the year but Album of the year too. Get out that checkbook Mr. Knowles

You'd think they'd get the hint that since we didn't buy it the first two times around, we just don't want it!
