"This is a huge loss. Etta James was one of the greatest vocalists of our time. I am so fortunate to have met such a queen. Her musical contributions will last a lifetime. Playing Etta James taught me so much about myself, and singing her music inspired me to be a stronger artist. When she effortlessly opened her mouth, you could hear her pain and triumph. Her deeply emotional way of delivering a song told her story with no filter. She was fearless, and had guts. She will be missed."

Beyoncé receives a Brit Awards nomination for Best International Female Solo Artist. The Brit Awards takes place on February 21 at the 02 Arena in London.

Beyoncé’s sold-out four nights at New York’s famed Roseland Ballroom back in August was a resounding success with the first night’s tickets selling out in a record 22 seconds. “4 Intimate Nights With Beyoncé” was a fan and critical favorite with Rolling Stone Magazine declaring that the club had turned into a coliseum with Beyoncé’s “rafter-rattling force.”

The energy and the magic of those nights were captured forever and released last month as “Live At Roseland: The Elements Of 4” deluxe package, a two-disc DVD concert film executive produced by Beyoncé for her own Parkwood Entertainment company, in association with Columbia Records.

The global entertainer partnered with Treemo Labs to create the “Beyoncé: Live At Roseland” App, which is available today at http://bit.ly/Beyonce_Roseland. This marks an alternative distribution model for long-form content that was previously only available on DVD.

The “Beyoncé: Live At Roseland” App is a unique, immersive experience for Beyoncé’s fans with music, concert footage and incredible photographs that tell the story of what it was like to be on stage and backstage with Beyoncé during her performances at the Roseland Ballroom.

“Offering all of these materials in an App represents an industry first and demonstrates again why Beyoncé is a music and entertainment industry visionary,” said Brent Brookler, CEO and founder, Treemo Labs. “We’re extremely fortunate to have been able to work with her and her team on this project.”



The App, available for iPhones® and iPads®, features the full Roseland concert and a photo gallery containing over 25 photos with pinch and zoom capabilities, all of which do not require an Internet connection to view. Additionally, the app enables fans to download the bonus video content—“Behind The Stage” from Roseland and “Behind The Camera” from Beyonce's music videos. Fans can also share photos and the concert app with friends via social media or email.

“Live At Roseland” concert film was directed by Beyoncé, Ed Burke and Anthony Green, and executive produced by Beyoncé for Parkwood Entertainment, in association with Columbia Records.
