Beyoncé made the anthem for single women everywhere during 2008 with her hit song "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)." The iconic music video, which features Beyoncé dancing in a black leotard, sparked a generation of girls shaking their left hands and telling boys to "put a ring on it."
Five years later, she has released a follow up single titled "All the Married Ladies." This is her first single release since her surprise, self-released visual album, Beyoncé. Her self-titled album gave fans a chance to see a glimpse into the very private life of the superstar. The video for "Blue," which stars and features her famous title baby, was the most heartwarming video and left fans craving more.
Much to the dismay of single girls everywhere, this song has the "Beyoncé touch," which means it's nothing short of amazing. It is also a dead ringer (pun intended) for her popular and provocative song "Drunk in Love" featuring husband Jay Z. It's got an upbeat tempo, which makes for a great dance number, and all around entertaining song.
When asked what inspired her, Beyoncé said, "Ever since I became a mother I have really found myself as an artist and as a woman. I am extremely proud of my husband, and I wanted to dedicate this to him, and to married women everywhere."
The songstress hinted that her next album would be a divorce from her former lyrics that praised the life of the single woman, and will focus more on the joys of pregnancy, motherhood, and knitting.
Jay Z seems to love the tribute his wife has made for him, and has been quoted that "this is her best work yet."
Although Beyoncé has broken the hearts of single girls everywhere by jumping ship, she's still Queen B.
On a totally unrelated note, Happy April 1 from Music Times.
