She’s a creator and an artist. When the radio said to speed it up, she went slower,” he added (“Radio say speed it up I just go slower” is a lyric from the Beyoncé track “Partition”).He said that hearing Destiny’s Child for the first time, “was life-changing for me and the way I experienced music.
I became an instant fan then and have been a huge fan ever since.”She’s an icon, a legend, and is now and forever the moment.
