Precisely once your ears get used to TIDAL every other service is redundant. The only tolerable for me has been AM once they introduced their HiFi model also but that is about it. The rest is straight up grainy noise.

 

AM is ugly and hard to navigate so I'll pass on it. I had to delete the app because I didn't know how to make it not be the default app on my iPhone.

Cause music/visuals is her passion and job?

she retired from being a public figure

Then record and keep them in the vault.

She'll never not be a public figure at this point and that's her fault. No one made her work hard to become what she is today.

Are there any Shazam, Pandora, or YouTube Music users here? Is Renaissance strong there?

She is a mother of three and clearly prefers to keep thing private and to not be in the public eye anymore. Ya’ll need to accept that and get over it cause she is absolutely done with it. She’s doing things on her terms and she clearly doesn’t care anymore. I’ve made peace with it and you should too but I am however annoyed at her keeping these visuals from us

CHURCH GIRL absolutely deserves single treatment.  Sending it to Urban/Rhythmic radio makes perfect sense.  HOWEVER, the FIRST thing that should have happened is sending CUFF IT to POP radio.  Hopefully adds date is announced for CUFF IT at POP asap.

 

And I use YOUTUBE music, and Renaissance CLEAN isn't there either.  WTF is that.

The Hive are going IN on Twitter chile...

It is def worth it. 

 

I've tried pretty much every service over the years (multiple times) but none of them compare to TIDAL's balanced and pristine audio quality. I used to think they are not that vastly different up until I tried using other services and they most definitely are. The difference is even more drastic if you use a decent pair of gear to listen to music but even on a regular pair of AirPods the difference is def noticable and it is easy to guess which is TIDAL vs the other services. AM is the only one that can measure up as a decent competitor (but only as of last year honestly). Spotify has awful audio quality, the codec they use is absolute trash and the lack of high res audio is absolutely unacceptable for a paying service in 2022. The noise makes my ears bleed and given the codec their library uses I imagine their quality is not going to improve anytime soon.

 

If you generally do not care about how rich, balanced, quiet or calm your music sounds I guess it will not really bother you but TIDAL pretty much ruined every other streaming service for me because it really does offer the most pleasant listening experience.

 

It is unrelated to Jay's failed business plans or support for Bey it is simply a matter of what suits my needs the best. I am open to switching to a worthy competitor if one does appear.

 

 

You know what on second thought, my Spotify do sound a bit gritty. I mainly love Spotify cause they good for introducing new artists/music. But HiFi sounds like I needa switch back over.

 

I do wonder how things would’ve been if she didn’t part ways with her dad in 2010

No one is asking her anything about her family or personal life though so I don't get the public figure point you keep mentioning. 

 

I've made peace with the way she's acting too which is why I'm wondering what her purpose is at this point. Retire and be a full time mother. She's rich, beautiful and is one of the most successful musicians ever. She has nothing left to prove.

she shouldnt stop recording music b/c she won't be a puppet for fans

 

there a lot of people that LOVE her music and don't care about this irrelevant **** yall rant about

Church Girl makes sense as the second single when you realize it comes after BMS in the video too.

 

Maybe she has something planned.

 

 

As much as we can depend on Beyoncé to ignore hype, we can rely on @giRLbye. to be in here defending her  

I mean at this point shes just losing stans who are going to buy her exclusive stuff because theres no reason to support someone who a) doesnt care about her fans and b) doesnt care for success.

Free listening/streaming it'll be. Enjoy ur 0.0005 cents per listen I do, @Beyonce.

There are people who love her music but there are also a lot of people who aren't aware because of how she handles her music. I know for certain that if I weren't actively involved in stan world I wouldn't know.

As if we bought bought those expensive poor quality boxsets, vinyls, albums on iTunes and singles to listen to use. We did it for her success and she's showing time and time again that she doesn't care so why should we?

Wait…I think I know how BMS/Church Girl will be connected in the mv cause all the BMS related visuals and looks with the look from the single cover looks like she’s gonna do a one-take kind of walking and dancing through places and she’ll end the song with her arriving at a church with a choir and then move on to the Church Girl MV in that same Church!!! IDK why but I think this might really be it

Im convinced she is Tina Knowles because she will contradict her own self just to try to defend her 

Well this is severely disappointing. I'm obviously biased as Church Girl is my least favourite track by her in decades and Cuff it is one of my faves. Cuff it is literally begging to smash, is the sort of feel good bop that everyone and their mommas will love. The song that'll drive engagement to your body of work and has the potential to be a long lasting hit, even more so than BMS. Church Girl is the track your mother tells you to turn down. You want to be up and dancing to CG not listening to it on your AM drive to work.

Where is her adaptability? The only way this works is if she sends CI to pop radio in tandem and gives it a push WW.

 

I wonder how all her shenanigans or lack there of will affect act2. People are annoyed and bored with the era. The idea of a second painful era will dampen stans excitement. Just a theory!

so if you weren't on here you wouldn't know that she had an album out!?! lol the dramatics

 

and no she shouldnt stop...the fans that want her to be their pop girl avenger to use stats to stunt online towards other pop girl stans are the ones who should stop & move on

 

anyone listening to the album can hear that she cares about the music. what she doesn't care about are the stats & politics of the music industry. she said this 10 years ago. blame yourselves b/c you didn't believe her. re-watch "Life is But a Dream".

Are you ready to drop coins on Act II as of right now?

 

Maybe her celebrity friends will buy the music this time.

She can still send Cuff It to Pop and make it the second worldwide single.

 

However, it would be truly inexcusable and disappointing if she went on ignoring the GP now that finally an album track succeeds in gaining global popularity by itself.
