Beyoncé Marks Her Birthday With The Release Of A Remastered Deluxe "B'day" Album

Today marks Beyoncé’s birthday and the release of a voluminous remastered B’DAY, her coming-of-age second album. When it was released on September 4, 2006, music fans around the world were introduced to a 25-year-old woman with a bold, new voice. Not just a powerful singing voice, but an artist determined to take over her career as a singer, songwriter, producer, and visual artist. She recorded the album in a two-week session, fully cemented at the helm, and knowing exactly what she wanted to create. She was pushing herself, revealing layers to her innovative approach to recording, writing, and producing. That fierce and urgent approach was extended to all her collaborators, with each one digging a little deeper to define the sound of her deeply personal album.

“I wanted the album to be big, percussive, hard, up-tempo, and energized, and it was important to me that we used live instrumentation,” she recalls. “Hip-hop was taking over at the time, but I was fighting to preserve the bridges, melodies, and harmonies that have always been at the heart of R&B. The goal was to blend those two worlds through the art of sampling. I loved the minimalism of a beautiful vocal arrangement over a simple drum loop or a classic guitar like ‘Irreplaceable’…but only if that 808 was banging underneath.”

Mixing modern pop and R&B with a mischievous edge, her latest release is a fearless declaration of self-worth

Singaporean singer Iman Fandi steps forward with a renewed vision on “IT IS,” out today on all digital music platforms worldwide.

Bold, playful, and self-assured, "IT IS" distills a clear, unapologetic message of feminine confidence and self-worth.

"This is something I have personally learned throughout my life," Iman shares.
