It’s Beyonce Knowles. Married, Mature, Shy, Introspective and still on a mission of becoming the personifi cation of Queen of the Industry. With her current release, I AM... SASHA FIERCE, Beyonce introduces us to the two extreme sides of her musical personality. Acknowledging that married life has brought her into greater understanding of the wants, needs and desires of men and women, this CD is well thought with messages that are packaged in hot production and the melodic vocal that is a Beyonce trademark. Sasha Fierce comes out swinging with the one -two “If I Were A Boy” and “Single Ladies(Put A Ring On It).
