Go Super to Listen

If anyone deserves a break, it’s Beyoncé. In the last couple of years, she has starred in movies, sung for President Obama at his inaugural ball, and received 10 Grammy nominations for her album I Am… Sasha Fierce. After all the hard work she’s been doing, it’s understandable that she would want to take some time off to relax and recharge her batteries. That’s why she recently announced that she is going take a six-month break before returning to the studio to complete her next album.

Beyoncé is lucky. She’s has enough money that she can recharge her batteries any way she wants. She might decide to soak up some sun on her yacht with her hubby Jay Z. Or the pair could just hang out at home in New York. Maybe Beyoncé would prefer to recharge her batteries by visiting a new city or spending time at a spa.

One thing is for sure: Beyoncé’s break won’t be permanent. She seems to be the kind of person who has a lot of energy and is always involved in a million different projects. Once she has finished recharging her batteries, you can expect her to get back to her music with fresh inspiration and enthusiasm.
