Generic conventions of Beyonce

What are the generic convention of Beyonce's music? Well, that is hard to define and narrow down because Beyonce's work covers such a wide range. When I think of Beyonce's music, the first words that come to mind are soulful and catchy. These generic conventions help categorize her into the R&B genre of music. Her music is passionate and expressive, yet very much in the "pop" realm of music. Her dynamic sound ranges from upbeat to slow and soothing, yet the basic Beyonce working are recognizable in all her tracks. She fuses together popular, catchy tunes with meaningful lyrics that create music that you cannot help but jam out to. The instrumentation in her music is similar. She incorporates drum rhythms 
Knowles' voice is versatile; she is capable of exploring power ballads, soul, rock belting, operatic flourishes, and hip hop. Her range and power are evident in all of her music as well. Although, she is such a diverse artist, her basic conventions are all the same, typing together her music. She emerges as a R&B pop artist for her amalgamation of soulfulness and catchiness in her music.
