The pop diva Beyoncé ended, last night a series of shows at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London and, as soon as I finished, got rid of compliments towards Paul McCartney In a post on social networks.
After the sixth and last show of this kind of residence in London, Beyoncé went to his Instagram account to thank Sir Paul McCartney for “compose one of the best songs ever written”, In reference to the emblematic “Blackbird” by The Beatles, which she verified on her album ‘Cowboy Carter’.
The pop diva noting that he had taken a suit designed by Stella, Macca’s daughter: “Every time I sing it I feel very honest. And it is a moment that closes the circle to carry the design of his beautiful daughter. “
In the post, Beyoncé shared his images with a white shirt adorned by two black birds in allusion to the title of the song, which, by the way, appears written to the left of his hip.
Beyoncé played “Blackbird” during the six concerts he offered in London, always being the second song of his repertoire. Her study version included, by the way, the original master of the song, on which she sang.
Beyoncé’s version was entitled “Blackbiird”, referring to the fact that this album is the “act II” of a album triology started with ‘Renaissance’ (2022) and continued by ‘Cowboy Carter’.
The original theme, the one we like, was composed of McCartney in 1968 for the double album of The Beatles homonym but widely known as’ The White Album‘. Of course, John Lennon also appears in the subject, although the song was composed exclusively of Paul.
Where does “Blackbird” born?
The “Blackbird” of The Beatles was originally composed, in response to the United States civil rights movement. The title also refers to the British “Bird” (bird) for “girl” (girl). McCartney praised Beyoncé’s version last year “Relieve racial tension“
“I am very happy with Beyoncé’s version of my song ‘Blackbird’. I think it makes a magnificent version and reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place“Macca wrote. “I think Beyoncé has made a fabulous version and would urge anyone who has not yet heard it to check it. You will love“
“I talked to her for Facetime and thanked me for writing and letting her do it. I told him that pleasure was mine and I thought I had made a fantastic version of the song. When I saw the images on television in the early 60s of the black girls who were rejected at school, it seemed shocking and I cannot believe that these days there are places where this type of thing is happening right now. Anything that my song and the fabulous version of Beyoncé can do to relieve racial tension would be something great and makes me feel very proud. “
