Roommates, if you know anything about Tina Lawson, it’s probably that she doesn’t play when it comes to her talented daughters, Beyoncé and Solange! After last week’s campaign by Trick Daddy to discredit Beyoncé’s SANGing abilities, Tina posted a throwback clip of the superstar stunting in the studio! In the 30-second video, Beyoncé can be heard mimicking a guitar solo using only her voice during a session with producer DJ Swivel.
“I have always been in awe when she does this,” Tina wrote in her caption. “She does it with other instruments as well!!!!”
DJ Swivel, whose real name is Jordan Young, is a Toronto-born “producer, mixer, and songwriter,” according to his official website. In 2012, he secured a Grammy award for his work with Beyoncé on her album ‘4’ and followed that with work on her ‘Beyoncé’ album.
On Tuesday, Tina posted the clip from Beyoncé’s studio session for the song ‘I Care.’ It’s not clear where the clip originated, but once posted to Tina’s Instagram account, it began circulating online. Unfortunately for enthused fans, the video is only a screen recording of the song-mixing technology and not a peek at the Houston talent.
The clip is captioned “Beyoncé’s engineer (DJ Swivel shares vocals from her ‘I Care’ studio session” at the top of the video. Another caption at the bottom of the video reads “her voice is INSANE.” DJ Swivel can allegedly be heard speaking.
“Guitar solo that she mimics with her voice, which I’ve never heard before, but um let’s see if we can pull it up,” DJ Swivel said.
After the brief sound of a guitar solo, Beyoncé effortlessly takes over with her vocals. She begins strong then turns her voice up a few notches to conquer the sound—obviously demonstrating her range. After a few seconds, applause from unknown sources can be heard in the voiceover. The clip ends with DJ Swivel paying the star a deserved compliment.
“She kills it,” he said. “Yup.”
