I wanted to play off the colors that we were surrounded by in this opulent space. Then there’s the Louvre itself as a backdrop. When we shot the “Apesh*t” video, we had really fallen in love. Definitely leaning toward Jamaican and Caribbean culture. It was kind of a throwback to the ’70s with a certain edginess to it that was kind of gangster, kind of romantic, and kind of rude boy. And then it became a thing - like, the new way of going rogue with suiting. Jay specifically thought that, and I was so excited that he was willing to go for it. When we were in Jamaica making content, we both discovered that look great without a shirt. Can you talk to me a little bit about what you were thinking, and where you started with Jay-Z? Over the phone from Amsterdam - where she’s currently on tour with the Carters - Ambrose walked us through each and every one of Jay-Z’s looks. Jay-Z’s longtime stylist June Ambrose is to thank for this suit, and the rest of his suits in the “Apesh*t” video. The way that inspires those “how you think you look” memes. This look is casual in the most luxurious way - the way rich people and kings do casual. I love that it is double-breasted that he wears no shirt underneath and that he only fastens one of the buttons, allowing the jacket to drape over his body like his wife’s, which is designed by Peter Pilotto. I love the color, and the way it compliments the museum and the artwork behind him. I have thought about little else since its image was gifted to us on Saturday as part of the Carters’ joint album, Everything Is Love. The green Dries Van Noten suit Jay-Z wears in his new “ Apesh*t” music video with Beyoncé is simply perfect.

The album cover (below), as well appears to be inspired by photographer Deana Lawson whose works, writes Vulture, capture black intimacy and domesticity, a theme that is echoed throughout the video.A still from “Apeshit” featuring Beyoncé and Jay-Z. #Beyoncé #EverythingIsLove /IMrVlyl6wf- Queen Curly Fry June 17, 2018 Beyoncé’s vision and talent is unmatched.

The video, directed by Ricky Saiz, is full of provocative imagery and symbolism as it intersperses shots of some of the museum’s most famous artworks with shots of Queen B and Jay-Z.Īn earnest – and brilliant – twitter user made a comprehensive list of all the artworks featured in the video, complete with the connotations, in the Twitter thread below.

The release of the album, which premiered on Tidal, a streaming service co-owned by Jay-Z, was accompanied by a stunning music video (above) for Apeshit, which was shot entirely at the Louvre in Paris and shows the duo standing in front of the Mona Lisa. “We were using our art almost like a therapy session,” he said.

Jay-Z told the New York Timesin November 2017 that a joint project was in the works. Rumours of the nine-track album have been around since before Beyonce’s Lemonade and Jay-Z’s 4:44 were released.

The arrival of the full-length album was announced on stage on Saturday, at their On The Run II tour at the London Stadium in the UK. It is the Carters’ debut joint album, and one that has been years in the making. And the powers of the duo have only been strengthened by the release of their surprise collaboration album Everything Is Love. Beyonce and Jay-Z are without doubt the power couple of the music world.
