leading position or people: the leading position of a movement, field, or cultural trend, or the people who are foremost in a movement, field, or cultural trend.
In that light, Beyoncé as the recipient of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award should come as no surprise. She is certainly at the forefront of culture trends and proves so in this week's Music Monday selection.
Her re-imagined version of "Crazy in Love" for the Fifty Shades of Grey movie trailer is nothing short of brilliant. In collaboration with her producer, Boots and violinist Margot, the move has brought new fans to Beyoncé's music.
In a recent Time interview Margot mentions the following about the new track, “Obviously I know how ‘Crazy in Love’ goes, but I knew there was the possibility her vocals would be different. It’s almost more vulnerable and beautiful this way, because you do do crazy things when you fall in love. To hear the mood reversed and flipped makes it even more powerful.”
So even though you probably have Fifty Shades adaptation overload, take another listen to the song, and imagine how vulnerable being in love makes you feel...
