What was the title of Beyoncé’s first album released under her own name?

Beyoncé’s first album released under her own name was Dangerously in Love.

The album came out in June 2003, during a hiatus in Destiny’s Child’s group activity. Although Beyoncé had appeared on soundtracks and collaborative recordings before then, Dangerously in Love was her first solo studio album credited to Beyoncé as the principal artist.

Its sound combined contemporary R&B, pop, hip-hop, and soul. Major singles included “Crazy in Love,” “Baby Boy,” “Me, Myself and I,” and “Naughty Girl.” The album’s commercial and critical success made clear that Beyoncé’s career could extend well beyond her work in Destiny’s Child.

This question can cause confusion because Beyoncé recorded solo material before the album’s release. The key distinction is between earlier soundtrack or guest appearances and her first full-length solo studio album.
