The vinyls will be released at a later point (probably early 2023).

Also i think since the CD might get leaked too early it's gonna get a digital release first?

Or it's plausible that they pressing them as we speak. 

 

While Bey had a nice six week pre-order window from announcement of Ren to its release, they for sure pressed those vinyls way before. Those lead-in times are no joke (can be between 3-6 months). 

 

So, it's fair to say that the days of Bey finishing her projects right up until point of release seem to be done. Ren will have been complete a long while before we knew of its existence. And I'd bet the same is the case for acts 2 and 3. 

I'm just wondering what will happen to the already pressed vinyls of Renaissance which still contain the Kelis sample and the original version of Heated. Will they just be disposed? I'm sure that they will have a high value in a few years if some people already got their hands on them. 

This might also be the reason for the delay. I'm glad i have the digital album from her website because it still has the unedited versions of the tracks on it. 

Low key pressed I haven't received my Vinyl's yet.

The only song that we know is guaranteed a music video is Pure/Honey, since the Moi Renee look gave it away. The rest is pure speculation.

We saw part of I'm That Girl, or at least cuts from it sis

 

Also, Andrew has been spamming Alien, and I'm pretty sure he was posting **** when they were shooting it

She's probably just gonna to sell them until they run out.  People already have it on wax, she's not gonna throw away product.  Anything pressed afterwards will be the new version.

Evermore dropped that much because Taylor didn't have physical copies ready. she kept releasing signed copies in later weeks and vinyl only dropped a few months later. So realistically it could have dropped by 30-25%. not too bad for an album full of throwaways and Side B's.

 

20/20 part 2 was **** and made no noise.

 

I expect Act II to cross 300k again, to be honest, especially if she has the "standard" vinyl to ship during release week. Renaissance could have done much better had she not capped it at 26k vinyl with the limited edition. and Act II won't be Renaissance leftovers.

Ehh, Act 1 was her big comeback album, so Act 2 will definitely dip unless she does something more to drum up interest outside of an announcement. (She won’t)

 

Also, didn’t it take forever to sell ~30k of the limited edition vinyls worldwide? idk that she’s a vinyl girl like that.

There were no artwork and people had already bought boxes without artwork. 

They, however, sold out really fast when she actually showed the artwork. 

 

We can never really know if she's a vinyl girl, streaming girl or even CDs girl these days because she does the bare minimum. Artists promote their vinyls, you have to drum up hype for that 

I do think it's possible she wasn't done with the artworks hence the strategy.

From December to January

I'm That Girl and Pure/Honey have already been confirmed as existing videos by Bey herself. 

 

Then we have Break My Soul of course and Alien Superstar. 

 

Let's see if it's a video anthology or just a couple of videos

I've been banned since July 20th literally a week before the drop so I've been DYING to share my thoughts and overall analysis over everything we've experienced the last 60 days. 

 

This album is truly and HONESTLY the album that kind of cemented that she is truly the greatest artist that we've probably ever witnessed on a commerical pop level. Michael Joseph Jackson has NEVER created an album as sonically innovative, musically LAYERED, and intrinsically PRODUCED as this. Dangerous is the closest. The way the songs become their OWN entity....and then literally transform into something else is unheard of. If you're a producer or a student of the arts, you will recognize what she did vocally on Virgos Groove, Summer Renaissance and even the clean falsetto on Move kind of proves she's protected her voice and craft better than Whitney and Mariah did in their 40's. They lost ALL of their agility by that time, and Bey is SKATING on the Alien Superstar outro like she's 22 years old with a full throat and lung capacity. And she doesn't even BELT on the album and she is eating up everyone vocally right now. Production wise I can't even start to get my life without writing a book. But that damn 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11 punch is UNHEARD OF!! While Thique and AIYM play a pivotal role, I think we can all agree she's capable of much more but their still ELITE level bops that Chloe Bailey and Ava Max could make smash respectively. Lyrically I think she's NEVER been more confident, slutty, sexy, flirtatious, and even a Lil bisexual (Cozy, Pure, Move). She's referencing her husband as an AFTERTHOUGHT on this album whereas her last few projects have literally been ABOUT him. And that's the biggest joy I have in this album. She's never sounded so free! Letting her hair down, putting on a tight black dress and shaking ass all night because I finally FOUND MYSELF AGAIN is what she's telling us. She's not going to divorce him until the twins are out of the house and grown, like Tina did.  I've been a STAN of this lady since I saw Check On It making the video when I was 12. To have witnessed her growth, her humility, her success, her being criticized for decades for EVERYTHING, her possible mental health issues (most artists suffer from some type, and it's no longer a stigma...I believe she suffers from extreme depression and a LOW level of self esteem a bit which is why I feel she was so codependent on that man fr years...but this is just my opinion y'all don trip I love my girl), being a mom and having UNCONDITIONAL love from them, I think this going to be the black swan moment of her career and her life as his wife. Call me crazy but the trilogy sounds like a COMPLETION of a journey. And before y'all say she wouldn't be that petty and extra to make a divorce album into a trilogy but isn't she the same one who made the most acclaimed album of a generation to reveal her truth instead of just doing Oprah? She's an ARTIST who communicates through art. She's not speaking randomly on these songs and The Dream tried to spill the tea something is happening and I just feel like if this is how she wants to write her book I'm so proud of her. Who cares about interviews and playlisting when you've reached the absolute MOUNTAINTOP. I'll always love her and I'm so happy to have had her define my childhood and adulthood life. I think it's obvious what's happening and it's okay to be in denial and emotionally blind... But I think Renaissance/Trilogy is our curtain call.

I definitely agree. I think this is her last heavy push commercially. But not necessarily her last project.

WTF??

 

You literally just made this up...the way yall go on floating rumors & concerns about immobility issues to autism to now mental health issues?? can't yall stop...all of it is gross & most importantly...unfounded.

 

and yall need to get over this Jay Z ****...they've been together 20 years...he stepped out & now they've healed. there's no reason to keep going on or proof that he's so horrible.

So you read all that and took that one part and got offended? You act like it's an INSULT please grow up. This is REALITY. What makes her so different from other child stars who sacrificed their youth? It's what I see and have seen and it's okay.

Yes b/c it was so egregious, off topic, and sounded straight from someone's ass

 

you can't brand something as someone's REALITY...you don't know her and the statement is baseless

What the mess is going on in here. Mental health issues? Depression? Codependency?

You guys are seriously acting like shut ins during the pandemic, the whole point of this album was to escape and touch some grass, please I beg! There’s no happy balance either you guys will complain about the littlest of things or you’ll bully someone for having something slightly negative to say about her, get a grip!

The amount of bullshit in this post from the first to the last word. Amazing.
