AGAP: Completely forgettable writing 

 

AUIYM: Melody sounds dated & has no range, even though her vocal delivery is laced with crack and the quality of production is sick 

 

Church: Repetitive, also the most vocally uninteresting song on the album. She kind of sounds mid here giving dry gospel.

 

SR: All I know is i love the second verse and the chorus, but the first verse is kinda weak aside from "Sexy Mufa..." 

 

Thique: that basic ass trap introduction has me about to skip every time.

 

Honey/Pure: A bit too sparse lyrically from me; could definitely do with a rap on the second verse, riding the beat how Azealia might. Also Honey does almost nothing for me.

 

Still love the album 

This is horrible OMG

You shouldn't overanalyze the lyrics, this isn’t Lemonade. I wouldn’t mind taking a point or two off Church Girl but only because the drums mixing seems a bit off.

Thique is probably the most club ready song. I don’t understand why the Hive is sleeping on it.

Hopefully, the visuals will help you see the vision even better

Heated will never be a single but will be unofficially picked up by urban radio and randomly be smashing whilst act II is out 

I can see Heated go viral during the tour. It’s a massive singalong. But by then we’ll probably be listening to act ii

Glad I’m not involved in the different takes today.

Sonically I can only see Formation and Hold Up.

Sorry is not going anywhere either and six inch is thiques prettier big sis 

Renaissance has more single worthy material than Lemonade though...so, yeah.

 

Argue with your mom.

Would be great of bey does all new songs or has a rotating set list. #NoMoreSnubs 

 

Louder for that woman from Houston living in L.A., Ms Dion!

The god awful takes in here.

I love EVERY single song on the album and I’ve probably played it more than anyone in this thread. Deadass!

 

 I’m listening to it as I type

But analysing lyrics isn't just about deep meaning, its about quality of writing, fun hooks, rhythm, wit, interesting wordplay, keeping the brain engaged. 
The outro of Heated is also her just chatting **** but it slaps and is provocative, so I'm not asking for high brow lyrics. 

AHAP a problem is stanned on here but paid absolute dust in real life, and I'm betting its because the song doesn't lyrically connect, it should of spent more time in the oven because its underbaked and forgettable bar a few lines

Are you talking about AHAP? That's the most clever writing in the album. 

So where are the streets claiming yesterday it was going to be visual day

We still have:

 

-Sept 23rd (end of virgo season)

-Sept 30th (idk why people say that but they say it might have to do something with the Grammy submission deadline or something)

- any Friday in October

Any hope of her exploiting one of her songs succeeding organically is lost. I guess Yvette’s big rollout consists in rotating songs on TTH.

CUFF IT is the greatest gainer globally AGAIN  

 

 

 

 

 

Also coming for top 20 on AM US. It needs radio push for a re-peak STAT!

 

 

I wish we wouldnt be so engaged in Cuff its performance since its only gonna end in us being frustrated to the max again because nothing will happen

This will smash with or without Beyoncé. A Tik Tok trend is THAT powerful

This is what a lot of people discussed before the album came out - not only is she getting a streaming boost from the album in general but with tiktok nowadays so many tracks have potential to give her long term smashes 

 

album is still on repeat

It's on its way to becoming a hit, all thanks to Tiktok, no thanks to the lady from Houston.

It's true though that the song will help sustain the album even longer

Yeah... TikTok is powerful promo. That's why I don't get why people act so edgy towards it. 

 

This randomly made me think : imagine if TikTok already existed when she released ST : "I woke up like this" "Surfboard" "roll up the partition".

Most of these are subjective takes so it's fine. However, I still fail to pinpoint considerable flaws. 

 

There aren't any imo. The album flows amazingly and each song is extremely well-thought-out in terms of production.

The traditional song structure is being thrown out of the window, the rhythm changes progressively and the layers are so greatly stratified that it takes a large amount of plays in order to catch all of them. 

 

It's definitely her most creative work of art so far along with 4 and ST.

Tik Tok has shown that it's possible to trend even by not relying to such Instagram'd catchphrases. Times are changing. 

 

To think that Countdown and Freakum Dress have gone viral. Now Alien Superstar and Cuff It are popular, but actually most of Renaissance is holding up pretty well.
