New Music: Beyoncé – Bow Down / I Been On

The Queen has returned. She cares nothing about your feelings. She cares nothing about your taste. She cares nothing about your opinion. She is here for your edges and you will provide them. Get into her new track “Bow Down / I Been On”, produced by Hit-Boy and Timbaland respectively, and realize that Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter is the one. I have nothing else to say.

Ciara Cites Drake & Lana Del Rey As Inspiration For New Album?

As part of her spread with ‘Annex Magazine’, Cici shared:

“I am approaching this record in a different way than I have any other project before. While recording “One Woman Army” I have been running towards my fears and allowing myself to be vulnerable in many ways; for the first time I allowed myself to be completely open in the music making process.

I can honestly say this is the most fun that I’ve ever had making an album. I really love listening to artists like Lana Del Ray, Kendrick Lamar, Drake just to name a few. However, I continue to find inspiration from the generation of greats such as Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna.”
