Beyonce is a bombshell—but
you already knew that, didn’t you?
The 32-year-old entertainer graces the cover of Out’s Power Issue,
wearing a blond wig reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 classic
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Posing topless and cupping her breasts in the
racy photo shoot, the R&B diva opens up about her self-titled visual
album, sexuality and more.

The “Drunk in Love” singer has been hailed
as a feminist hero in recent years. Beyoncé hopes to inspire other
women to behave similarly. “There is unbelievable power in ownership,
and women should own their sexuality,” she explains. “There is a double
standard when it comes to sexuality that still persists. Men are free
and women are not. That is crazy. The old lessons of submissiveness and
fragility made us victims. Women are so much more than that. You can be a
businesswoman, a mother, an artist, and a feminist—whatever you want to
be—and still be a sexual being. It’s not mutually exclusive.”
Her most recent album, released in late 2013, appeals to a wide range of
audiences—not just women. According to Beyoncé, her intention was to
reach listeners on a human (and perhaps spiritual) level.
“While I am definitely conscious of all the different types of people
who listen to my music, I really set out to make the most personal,
honest, and best album I could make,” she says via e-mail, as she was in
the midst of her Mrs. Carter World Tour at the time of the interview.
“I needed to free myself from the pressures and expectations of what I
thought I should say or be, and just speak from the heart.”
“Being that I am a woman in a male-dominated society, the feminist
mentality rang true to me and became a way to personalize that
struggle...But what I’m really referring to, and hoping for, is human
rights and equality, not just that between a woman and a man,” Beyoncé
tells the LGBTQ publication. “So I’m very happy if my words can ever
inspire or empower someone who considers themselves an oppressed
minority...We are all the same and we all want the same things: the
right to be happy, to be just who we want to be and to love who we want
to love.”
In regard to her music, Beyoncé admits it was her most ambitious
endeavor to date. “I was recording, shooting videos, and performing on
the tour every night, all at the same time. At some point I felt like,
‘What am I doing? Is this too ambitious?’ Even the day the record was to
be released I was scared to death,” she reveals. “But I also knew if I
was that scared, something big was about to happen.”
It was a risk that paid off. According to Beyoncé, it’s the album’s
imperfections that make it stand out.
“When I recorded ‘XO’ I was sick with a bad sinus infection. I recorded
it in a few minutes just as a demo and decided to keep the vocals. I
lived with most of the songs for a year and never re-recorded the demo
vocals. I really loved the imperfections, so I kept the original demos. I
spent the time I’d normally spend on backgrounds and vocal production
on getting the music perfect. There were days I spend solely on getting
the perfect mix of sounds for the snare alone. Discipline, patience,
control, truth, risk, and effortlessness were all things I thought about
while I was putting this album together.” (source)
