FEATURE:
The Great American Songbook
where I focus on a very special American artist and collate a twenty-song mixtape/playlist of songs from throughout their career. It is not necessarily the case of it being songs they wrote. I started off with one of the greatest songwriters ever, Paul Simon, and his amazing work. Now, Beyoncé is in the spotlight. Even though she is not as prolific and renowned as a songwriter as Paul Simon, her body of work – from the earliest days of Destiny’s Child to her most recent solo album – are testament to her genius and constant reinvention. COWBOY CARTER was released last year as is one of the best albums of her career. It was hard whittling down all of her albums to a selection of twenty songs. One of the most influential artists ever, Beyoncé has won numerous awards, including thirty-five GRAMMY Awards, making her the most decorated artist in GRAMMY history. I think that we will continue to see her changed music and culture for decades more. To celebrate her enormous contribution to music and a catalogue like no other, this Great American Songbook selection is dedicated to…
THE peerless Beyoncé.
