Beyonce to take break in 2010
Plan to see a little less of Beyonce this year. The “Single Ladies” singer wants to take a little time to relax.
“It’s definitely time to take a break, to recharge my batteries,” the 28-year-old singer told USA Today. “I’d like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I need to just live life, to be inspired by things again.”
Beyonce will still stay busy with her performance at the Grammy Awards Jan. 31 where she is up for 10 nominations for her album, “I Am…Sasha Fierce.” There are also two weeks worth of concerts in South America and the Caribbean in February. Not to mention the release of her new Coty fragrance, “Beyonce Heat.”
But she insists she is going to take a breather:
“It will be the hardest thing in the world for me to make myself not do an album and shoot a video and turn it in and say, ‘I’m ready!’ I already have all these melodies and ideas in my head. I have to tell myself, ‘Sit down! Sit down!’ “
