Blue Ivy Set to Dazzle Music World with Solo Career—Will She Outshine Beyoncé?

BBG News

Upstaging Beyoncé is no easy feat – especially not at one of her own concerts.

However, with a casual toss of her hair, Blue Ivy confidently stole the show on the first night of her mother’s Cowboy Carter tour, using the stage as her personal catwalk and launching into an impressive solo dance performance.

13-year-old daughter of hip-hop legend Jay-Z, who’s often referred to as a “nepo baby,” performed an energetic dance routine recently, directing a group of her mother’s backup dancers on stage in front of 70,000 spectators at California’s SoFi stadium.

Given her family’s musical background, it makes perfect sense that she too developed an affinity for both the entertainment industry and the limelight.

Currently, it’s disclosed that the experienced artist aims for something beyond just riding alongside her mother – she aspires to assume control and create her own collection of works instead.

As a seasoned lifestyle connoisseur, I’ve recently learned that ‘Blue’ might be embarking on a captivating journey into the world of music. Interestingly enough, some of Beyoncé’s most cherished songwriters are discreetly crafting demos for her upcoming solo album, hinting at an exciting musical chapter in Blue’s life.

Without a lack of influential figures within the industry, it’s said that the young artist has reached out for assistance from her renowned relative, Solange Knowles, and has potential songs ready from The-Dream, if needed.

For quite some time, an American songwriter and producer has collaborated extensively with Beyoncé, jointly penning hits like “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” and “Break My Soul” from her acclaimed Renaissance album that earned Grammys. Additionally, he has teamed up with Jay-Z for the 2013 track titled “No Church in the Wild.

According to our source, ‘Blue’ is not only associated with color but also serves as a writing tool, collaboratively developed by Solange. The-Dream has been leading this project, and he has prepared several tracks for her. It’s understood that the fans are eager to hear a new record from Blue.

I’ve been granted permission to listen to tunes suitable for my age, and among the ones I’ve recently enjoyed are ‘Infinity Song’ by Michelle Williams, ‘Heart 2 Yours’ from her album, and songs by Goapele.

Blue Ivy’s venture into solo fame isn’t her debut in music. In fact, even before she turned ten, this young starlet had already accumulated several singing credits. Her devoted followers, often referred to as the Ivy League, have been supporting her long before she reached double digits.

Labeled as ‘the world’s most recognized infant’ by TIME, this little one, born in January 2012, made her vocal debut on her father’s song “Glory” only ten days after birth. In the subsequent year, she earned a mention in her mother’s single “Blue,” which was part of her self-titled album.

At the age of seven, she showcased her talent by singing a personal interpretation of the hymn “Lift Every Voice and Sing” on the live album “Homecoming: The Live Album”. This album was compiled from Beyoncé’s groundbreaking performances at Coachella 2018.

‘I want to do it again… I want to do it again,’ she says at the end of the track. ‘It feels good!’

And do it again she did.

2019 saw her become the youngest female artist to appear on the Hot 100, following her feature on her mother’s single “Brown Skin Girl.” However, her sister Rumi surpassed this achievement when she collaborated with Beyoncé on “Protector” last year.

Blue was additionally recognized with a Grammy and set the Guinness World Record as the youngest individual to be credited and receive one of the prestigious gold-plated Grammy trophies.

Afterward, a series of awards poured in, most of them coming before she even began high school, and she was also featured on her mother’s groundbreaking Renaissance World Tour – an event that drew criticism for her dance routines.

2023 marked the year when she performed her singing live onstage in Dubai, collaborating with her mother who was appearing onstage again after a gap of four years. Their one-hour performance brought the pop sensation an estimated $35 million.

Should Blue Ivy manage to break free from the “nepotism baby” label and showcase genuine talent, she has the potential to contest her mother’s wealth.

According to PR expert Stacy Jones, founder and CEO of Hollywood Branded, Blue Ivy has a strong potential to immediately land high-valued contracts, profitable brand collaborations, and substantial income from streaming services and endorsements. This is similar to the success stories of artists like Olivia Rodrigo or Billie Eilish, but potentially even more successful due to her prominent family background.

It’s possible to wonder if she could achieve the same level of success as Beyoncé. However, that’s a very challenging goal indeed. But if Blue Ivy demonstrates genuine talent, sincerity, and manages to resonate strongly with fans, particularly those from Generation Z, there’s no reason she can’t create her own impressive career path.

In an interview with the BBC a month ago, Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles, shared that Blue Ivy and their other children are being encouraged to pursue whatever dreams they have for themselves, emphasizing that they will not be forced into show business.

Beyoncé has handled her eldest daughter’s impending fame with care. Earlier, she declined to let her 11-year-old perform on tour, even though she was a natural and talented artist, but eventually gave in when Blue Ivy expressed her own desire to dance.

The teenager demonstrated her strong determination by enduring numerous grueling training sessions for the Cowboy Carter tour, all while managing her academic responsibilities.

According to our source, Beyoncé and Jay value a structured educational environment for their children, yet they recognize Blue Ivy’s natural talent and diligent work ethic.

They said: ‘They’re ready for her to have a Whip My Hair moment.’
