Music World Music/Sony Urban Music/Columbia Records will release "B'Day,"
the much-anticipated new solo album from Beyoncé, on Tuesday, September 5.
"B'Day" will be released worldwide on September 4, Beyoncé's 25th birthday.
The pop music superstar's sophomore studio album premieres all new music
produced, written and arranged by Beyoncé. "Deja Vu," the album's first single,
features guest artist Jay-Z with production by Rodney Jerkins. Beyoncé's
producers on B'Day include Rich Harrison, Sean Garrett, The Neptunes, and Swizz
Beatz. B'Day is executive produced by Beyoncé and Mathew Knowles.
Beyoncé's new album is the artist's first full-length solo work since her
..1 multi-platinum 2003 solo debut, "Dangerously In Love," which earned her
five 2004 Grammy Awards including Best Contemporary R&B Album and Best R&B Song
("Crazy In Love"). With her five-in-one-year Grammy win, Beyoncé tied the
record for the most Grammys to be won in a single year by a female artist.
"Dangerously In Love" and "Crazy In Love" made chart history when both album and
single simultaneously hit ..1 in the U.S. and the UK (which hadn't happened
since 1983). Beyoncé toured for the first time as a solo artist in 2003 in
support of "Dangerously In Love," which has sold more than 11 million records
worldwide.
