4. When Jay-Z and Beyoncé used music to control the narrative around their marriage

“No need to ask, you heard about us,” Beyoncé sings in her new joint album with husband Jay-Z, Everything Is Love. And it’s true, we have heard about them. We’ve heard about the intimate details of their marriage, the betrayals and the reconciliation. But that didn’t use to be the case.

For a long time, the question of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s relationship was distinct from the question of their music. There were overlaps, but they were carefully contained, discrete. When one of them released a song about love and infidelity, we didn’t automatically assume they were singing about each other.

They might duet on a “Crazy in Love” here or a “Deja Vu” there, but when Beyoncé sent a man to the left, to the left in “Irreplaceable,” there was little public speculation over whether she was secretly singing about Jay-Z. She was clearly putting on a pop music persona, and few thought the song was autobiographical.

For years, their entire relationship was secret. They started dating in 2001 but didn’t go public until 2004, and they married in April 2008 and didn’t tell the public until that August.

Since then, slowly but surely, their marriage has crept into the conversation about their music. The couple’s last three albums have even formed a kind of marriage trilogy: 2016’s Lemonade saw Beyoncé accusing Jay-Z of adultery and then forgiving him, 2017’s 4:44 (album) saw Jay-Z confessing and then begging for forgiveness to his sins, and 2018’s Everything In Love saw the couple overcoming their difficulties to triumphantly declare themselves “happily in love.”

The End.
