Harlesden-born artist pens another song for Beyonce

Carla Marie Williams, a songwriter from Harlesden has written a second song for Beyonce.

BBC Radio 1xtra’s DJ Target chatted over the phone with Carla from Los Angeles. The build up to not knowing if her song ‘Freedom’, which features Kendrick Lamar, would appear on Beyonce’s new album was ‘nerve-racking’ and felt like ‘having a baby’. The Harlesden songwriter said though Beyonce has the presence of a superstar, her vibe was all about the music.
