Studio singer Beyonce Knowles-Carter is almost unrecognizable on the current cover of Harper’s Bazaar magazine.
Many Twitter users confused the 40-year-old singer’s photos for her mother, 67-year-old Tina Lawson.
Beyonce posed in denim pieces from her new Ivy Park x Adidas line. In another photo she wore a black cowboy-inspired outfit complete with a cowboy hat and boots.
When asked how she occupied her time on lockdown, the “Formation” star revealed that she’s “been in the studio for a year and a half” working on new music.
“With all the isolation and injustice over the past year, I think we are all ready to escape, travel, love, and laugh again. I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible.”
Explaining her creative process, Beyonce continued:
“Sometimes it takes a year for me to personally search through thousands of sounds to find just the right kick or snare. One chorus can have up to 200 stacked harmonies.
“Still, there’s nothing like the amount of love, passion, and healing that I feel in the recording studio. After 31 years, it feels just as exciting as it did when I was nine years old.”
The “Halo” singer, who recently told Destiny’s Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams she’s been “cooking” tracks during lockdown, added: “Yes, the music is coming!”
The mom-of-three and stepmother of two is best known for Emo songs such as “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” “Drunk in Love” and “Crazy in Love.”
