About Halo (Beyoncé song) in brief
\”Halo\” is a song recorded by American singer Beyoncé for her third studio album, I Am.. Sasha Fierce. It was originally conceived by Ryan Tedder and Evan Bogart specifically for Beyoncé, although there was media speculation that it had been intended for Leona Lewis. The song is a popR&B power ballad, the lyrics of which describe a sublime love. It has received over ten certifications including a seven-times platinum certification from Australia and a double-platinum from Spain, the United Kingdom, and the US. It topped the singles charts of Brazil, Norway, and Slovakia, and reached the top five on the singles chart of Australia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Switzerland and the United States. It won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards and Best Song at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards. The lyrics were changed for three of Beyoncé’s special live performances: a tribute to Michael Jackson following his death, a tribute for the victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and for Kobe and Gianna Bryant’s memorial in 2020. The track has been covered by many artists, including Florence and the Machine, Harper Blynn, and Westlife. It was performed on the television show Glee, and was added to the international soundtrack of the Brazilian soap opera Caminho das Índias. A music video, which shows Michael Ealy’s character being chased by police through a forest at night, was posted on the Internet in May 2010.
It portrays a romantic relationship between Beyoncé and Ealy, and critics complimented her looks in the clip. The song faced a controversy when Kelly Clarkson claimed that Tedder had reused the musical arrangement in her own 2009 song \”Already Gone\”. In an interview for HitQuarters, Tedder said that he had only tentatively offered the track to Lewis, which would have been a brilliant first single for her, which was foolishly says Simon Cowell. He added that the song was never meant to go to Leona… That was never the case … What happened was that Beyoncé waited long enough to record that song, and I did not want her to have to wait that long to record it, which did not make any sense to me at the time. I was very proud of her for doing that, but I was also very disappointed that she didn’t do it sooner. I am so happy that she did it, I’m so glad she did, and that I didn’t have to go through all that trouble to do it. I’m very happy that I got to be a part of her life, and she got to experience that part of my life, too. “Halo” is the fourth single from the album, released on January 20, 2009, and to international markets from February 20. It features drum, piano, keyboard, string, synthesizer, and percussion instrumentation. It is inspired by Ray LaMontagne’s 2004 song ‘Shelter’
