From the Ebony Black Love issuevia Dream Hampton:

“He is her best friend, someone who immediately and implicitly understands her life, not only as a star, but as a hard-working driven artist“

“For all their might as solo power players, their relationship is remarkably free of drama. They sit around in their pajamas and watch cable and snuggle, which may, after all, be the ultimate fantasy. When they climb off the couch from beneath their favorite cashmere throws or disembark from their yachts, they work as if James Brown were their boss. One of them is always touring, always in the studio, always somewhere making kinds of multimillion dollar-deals that keep them on the Forbes list.”

“Shortly after they’d become serious, when Jay was on summer tour, I was touched by the fact that they were committed to scheduling real time together, even if that meant Beyonce coming on the road, occasionally gracing the stage to perform one of their collabos. I wondered to myself if Jay would return the favor. Powerful women have no problem supporting their partners’ dreams so demonstratively. But that September, when it was her turn to head out on her first major international tour as a solo artist, Jay was backstage in her dressing room, playing cards with a robed Beyonce’, ready to return the backing and join her onstage if need arose. The very nature of such circumstances proves that they are, indeed, the true definition of a power couple.”

Monster Mondays won’t be the only reason to look forward to the work week. Starting this Thursday, Timbaland is set to launch “Timbaland Thursdays,” his weekly installment of free audio giveaways on his website.

Taking Swizz Beatz and Kanye West’s lead, Timbo is kicking off his free music series with the release of “Take Ur Clothes Off,” which features an unnamed artist. The mystery act could come from a wide spectrum of talent, with the super-producer recently saying that he would love to work with pop stars Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato.

Beyoncé has been hard at work on her upcoming new album and was snapped in the recording studio with music producer, Symbolyc One in New York City a few days ago.  Symbolyc One  the ‘Power’ beat for rapper Kanye West. As he’s pretty underground, it will be interesting to hear what type of sound and direction they cook up!
