For this week's #PopMonday theme: #ShakeThatBrass I present the Beyonce edition. 🐝
1. "Crazy in Love." The lead single off her solo debut, Dangerously in Love. Funny backstory: Rich Harrison wrote the hook but very few people got it. Even Beyonce was skeptical. "No one uses horns in the 21st century." Oh girl, if you only knew what was to come. https://youtu.be/ViwtNLUqkMY?si=lq2FL6aE5jEOakM9
2. In 2018, #Beyonce performed at Coachella & gave us one of the greatest live performances of our generation. Conceptualized as Homecoming at an HBCU w/ the 40-song setlist (!) reimagined as being played by a marching band. Here's the opening (Crazy in Love > Freedom > Lift Every Voice & Sing > Formation) https://youtu.be/jOSfoVdqSRk?si=83g24GIRCK10yzEU
3. It remains a travesty that Bey didn't win the 2016 Grammy for Album of the Year. Nothing was better than Lemonade that year. Nothing. And I still stand by that. Here's "All Night." https://youtu.be/gM89Q5Eng_M?si=hC3xClPsLtckqc76
