Confirm your Beyhive superfan status with this gorgeously illustrated, all-encompassing guide to all things Beyoncé.
All hail the queen! From her first solo at St. John's United Methodist Church to becoming a part of Destiny's Child, shaping the R&B scene, and becoming a pop icon, Beyoncé has taken the world by storm. Gathering her incredible life story, music, and fan culture all in one place, Beyonce Is Life is the reference you need. Get to know her musical family, her talented friends who have helped launch her career, her husband and children who are her inspiration, and the artists who have helped shape her vision. Beyoncé Is Life takes it a step further and sheds light on the deep and rich symbolism always present in her music and videos, for example, her spiritual connection with Oshun, the Yoruba goddess of water, fertility, love, and purity, whom she uses as an alter ego with nods to the deity through water symbolism and the color yellow, along with many more Easter eggs and facts. Did you know that Beyoncé was supposed to star in the movie A Star Is Born, instead of Lada Gaga? Or that she became the first female artist to have the No. 1 album (Dangerously in Love) and the No. 1 single ("Crazy in Love") in the US and the UK at the same time?
