DREAMGIRLS CHARACTER INSPIRED ALBUM

BEYONCE KNOWLES insists her new edgy raw sound was inspired by DEENA JONES, the girl group leader she plays in her new film DREAMGIRLS.

The star had originally planned to wait until next year (07) after the film's December (06) premiere to release a new CD, but instead decided to jump back into the studio while she was still in character.

She explains, "I didn't want to write sappy love songs, even though I'm happy now.

"I would have made a love album, because that's where I am in my life. The movie inspired something else that's not in me. Or I guess it is, somewhere.

"I became this character, so when I went to make this album, I was able to sing more aggressively.

"I wanted to say all the things Deena should have said and to speak for other women going through relationship problems."
