B'DAY (20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION) IS AVAILABLE NOW
LONDON, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today marks Beyoncé's birthday and the release of a voluminous remastered B'DAY, her coming-of-age second album. When it was released on September 4, 2006, music fans around the world were introduced to a 25-year-old woman with a bold, new voice. Not just a powerful singing voice but an artist determined to take over her career, as a singer, songwriter, producer and visual artist. She recorded the album in a two-week session, fully cemented at the helm, and knowing exactly what she wanted to create.
