    recorded an entire, unreleased album with Beyonce prior to 2011 LP 4,
    inspired by Fela. According to the producer behind hits “Single Ladies
    (Put A Ring On It)” and “Run The World (Girls),” the project was
    inspired by Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti.

    Ivy and lots of her friends running around the grounds of the estate.
