Beyoncé: Dangerously In Love Era

As part of Beyoncé being February's artist of the month, I am continuing with posting about the different eras of Beyoncé's career.

I have talked about the whole of her Destiny's Child days, so I am now onto the Dangerously In Love era. This era occurred whilst Destiny's Child went on hiatus.

So, in June 2003, Beyoncé released her debut solo album titled "Dangerously In Love".

This album featured quite a few collaborations and varied between uptempos, mid-tempos and slow songs.

The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and sold 317,000 copies in its first week.

The album spawned four singles, "Crazy In Love", "Baby Boy", "Me, Myself And I" and "Naughty Girl", two of which achieved #1.

She achieved massive success by picking up 5 grammy awards for her solo effort. These were for:

"Best Female R&B Vocal Performance - Dangerously In Love 2"

"Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal - The Closer I Get To You"

"Best R&B Song - Crazy In Love"

"Best Contemporary R&B Album"

"Best Rap/Sung Collaboration - Crazy In Love"

Here are two videos to sign this era off. They are live videos taken from her first solo Wembley concert:
