Leven Kali (one of VIRGO's GROOVE contributors) talks to 
@Variety
 about the two upcoming ‘acts’ of #RENAISSANCE

“We can tell you everything is somehow going to keep getting better.”

 

**** it up Queen. Shut down that boring industry, we know only you can.

“To be honest with you, we also need to respect because I think she has a plan for how she wants to reveal her process and I don’t wanna give away too much about the specifics of how the record was made exactly…”

 

This part is basically confirmation that a documentary is also coming about the whole process of how the acts came to be. I think that's what she will release on Netflix.

say thank you King

 

 

Jay-Z excels at writing a sassy mess. Lose My Breath is also Legendary 

That article is even more confirmation the acts are albums

Great article. And very exciting to see them hyping up the next two acts.

Ive been looking up and down the name of the bass player on Virgo’s Groove. It never occurred to me that the producers did that too. Literally the best part of the album. Definitely going to check this trio out 

This album has introduced me to other artists & I've placed them on my list to check out

 

I listened to a bit of one of Leven Kali's songs...i can tell his influence on Virgo's Groove right off the bat

literally me at work today

That's one of my favorite elements about Beyonce's artistry...I love that she brings in new collaborators into the fold on each album. Some artists go with the formula of having 1 main collaborator for all their albums & many have succeeded that way. but there's always a catch 22 with that kind of template...eventually the chemistry gets stale  & the music suffers. or the artist moves on  and all everybody says "they need to get back with [insert producer name]" for their music. i love that no singular producer has that kind of dominance over her discography & she has the freedom to go wherever. even when she had that moment with Boots on ST...she didn't stay there...she moves on.

 

i remember after 4...I wanted Shea Taylor back again for what would become ST...yet no sign of him since.

The intro sounds better when you hear it with the last 10 seconds of SR lol

She better ******* work.

I'm aware she reportedly has a three-project deal with Netflix (reported 3 years ago), but I don't think she would simultaneously release the videos on Netflix and Youtube because that would likely be in breach of her deal. It's a wild card at this point. 

That article all but confirms that a documentary will be released in addition to the visuals, perhaps at a later date definitely sounds like she's planning on giving this album its proper dues

I also heard the little party she threw for Renaissance in New york was possibly filmed for that upcoming documentary. All the celebs who attended were invited for a reason i bet, including her dad. 

 

Very exciting, guys we just have to be patient and trust her vision. So far we have not been let down.

She has not had a proper documentary since 2013 (Beyoncé). It’s time! 

 

I do not count Homecoming or The Gift because those were more musical based and both only took placed in 1) the rehearsal space and 2)the studios

That article is amazing.

 

To read how it was such a collaborative process is so nice, like her visions are just crazy. 

 

Can't wait for whatever else is to come

To think that the Thique beat dates back to the Feeling Myself recordings and she reworked it flawlessly for Renaissance 

 

Do we have any other tea like this for the rest of the tracks? 

This is completely speculation, but I have a feeling "Move" was initially meant for the wildebeest stampede prior to Mufasa's death in The Gift.

oh wow three friends collabed with bey on the best song of all time?

Her working with groups is really what makes her album credits go up because they all have to be credited individually and as a group. Per example, let’s say she writes a song with Novawav and this trio produces the track. The writing credits will read

 

Song: Beyoncé, Novawav, Brittany Coney, Denisea Andrew, Trio, Levan Kali, Daniel Memmi, Sol Was

Thats 8 writers even only 3 parties were involved. And if she samples a song or two, it’s over

She always has such great outtakes from her albums that either go to other artists or are reused/reworked years later for her own projects. I still wonder if she heard the piano demo of Wrecking Ball (which Miley did NOT co-write). Miley’s version of that piano demo was apparently what got her signed to RCA a decade ago.

 

Theron Thomas (who co-wrote Latto’s Big Energy and Lizzo’s About Damn Time this year) claims Bow Down/I Been On and All Night were written by him with Rihanna in mind. He also claims to have never met Beyoncé. From this podcast starting at approximately the 1h14 min mark:
