"It was our generation's version of James Brown's ‘Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud.'"that we feel most define the decade that was -- the songs that both shaped and reflected the music and culture of the period -- with help telling their stories from some of the artists, behind-the-scenes collaborators and industry insiders involved.
“If you were a mainstream urban station that didn’t play ‘Formation,’ you were left out in the cold,” Reggie Rouse, program director at Atlanta radio station V-103, tells. “When Beyoncé releases a record or a song, it’s an event -- everyone listens. If someone else did that, it wouldn’t have the same effect. She was political, she was social, she brought it back to everyday life.”
“For somebody as big as Beyoncé, [the song] needed to sound really expensive and made sure that she stands out the most,” mixing engineer Jaycen Joshua, who first worked on the artist's “Single Ladies,” tells. “It was extremely important for me and Mike Will -- and I think she wanted this too -- to have that heaviness, distortion and upper harmonics of the 808 that's so key to make a record like this palatable to the culture.
