As someone who dominated charts, award shows, and the music industry for a long while, it seems Beyoncé is finally ready to pass the lamp on to the newer emerging artists of the industry. During her recent interview, the pop star talked about and complimented the female singers who are dominating the music industry presently.
The pop star named a few favorites and how she supports women in music. Here’s who Queen B is a fan of, and what she has to say about emerging young female artists.
Beyoncé Talks About New Female Musicians Who Inspire Her
While she sat down for a chat with GQ, Beyoncé was asked about new female artists who inspire her and what she’s listening to this year. As supportive as ever, Queen B named a few favorites and extended her support to female musicians who are currently dominating the music scene.
Responding to the question she said, “I love and respect all of the female singers-songwriters who are out right now.… Raye, Victoria Monét, Sasha Keable, Chloe x Halle, and Reneé Rapp. I love Doechii and GloRilla, and I just heard That Mexican OT, he’s from Houston…. He goes hard!”
“I really like “Please Please Please” by Sabrina Carpenter, and I think that Thee Sacred Souls and Chappell Roan are talented and interesting. I’m obsessed with my backseat baby…. I’m a Smiler,” the singer added.
She then talked about who she’s listening to these days. “I spend most of my time listening to the classics, like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and music from artists on the Stax label,” she said. Further mentioning her current favorite playlist, she said, “The best movie I’ve seen this year is Inside Out 2. I think it’s brilliant, and I’m currently watching House of the Dragon and The Chi.”
Beyoncé Opens Up On Being A Black Businesswoman
Beyoncé also opened up on what it’s like to be a Black businesswoman in a space where many assumed she wouldn’t thrive in. Making a bold statement, Queen B said, “There’s a huge contrast between the business journeys of men and women. Men often have the luxury of being perceived as the strategists, the brains behind their ventures. They’re given the space to focus on the product, the team, the business plan.”
“Women, on the other hand, especially those in the limelight, are frequently pigeonholed into being the face of the brand or the marketing tool. It’s important to me to continue to take the same approach I have taken with my music and apply my learnings to my businesses,” she added.

She further added, “I am here to change that old narrative. I’m here to focus on the quality. We took our time, and we did our research, and we have earned respect for our brand. I try to choose integrity over shortcuts. I’ve learned that true success isn’t about leaning on a name; it’s about crafting something genuine, something that can hold its own. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being revolutionary.“
