In a rare interview, Beyonce spoke about the inspirations for the songs.
“It was important that we weren’t just inspired by Africa but that we actually included and learned from the Mother Land. The concept of the video is to show how God is the painter and natural beauty and nature needs no art direction. It’s the beauty of color, the beauty of melanin, the beauty of tradition. “
