Dangerously in love

Description

With Destiny's Child put on hold, the young Texan would establish herself as a solo artist with the release of Dangerously in Love in 2003. Her collaboration with Jay-Z played a decisive role in shaping this project, which subtly blends the urgency of hip-hop with a hushed soul feel. From the moment this album was released, the press was unanimous, and sales confirmed the public’s enthusiasm for it. Beyoncé surrounded herself with top names such as Big Boi, Missy Eliott, Sean Paul, and the velvet-voiced crooner Luther Vandross. The hits Crazy in Love, Naughty Girl and Baby Boy quickly became essential and formed the foundation on which Beyoncé would build her career. Excerpt from the guide "La Discothèque idéale Fnac" 2016
