Thoughts? 

I am not ready for the tour dates to go on sale. I just paid off my credit cards.

To be fair none of the feats were in Lemonade's film, but yeah 

And to be fair, we are so spoiled that the idea of her not shotting a video for a random album track makes us all angry and frustrated

No disrespect because I appreciate her contribution to writing the song, but her vocal part definitely doesn't warrant an appearance.

So do we think the Visuals are going to coincide with the tour announcement. 
 

That would be perfect 1,2 punch. Considering.

Today is the finale, feel free to drop in.

At this point Im convincing myself there are no visuals or they were cancelled. If they come eventually, great. But I’m just moving on from waiting for them

If they were canceled I believe they would have strategically leaked it or done something else to distract from it.

I have a feeling visuals + the announcements of ACT II and the tour are all coming at once.

100%.

It's a big push for both the album and selling tickets. She's money hungry so it makes total sense she prefer to use the visuals to push tickets than singles.

 

The only weird thing to me is the timing for the Grammy deadline. She cares for them so releasing the visuals 1-2 weeks after the deadline and miss out on 2 possible new grammys (video and long form) is weird. Just announce everything next week and get that 1,2,3,4 punch.

MTE!

 

IMO, based on what we know is incoming in early Oct (Tiffanys, vinyl drop, tour announcement), I stand by the belief that they are lining things up for a "second wind" of sorts. The visuals being the central part of that.

 

It's admittedly insane to release an album in July and effectively do nothing until October. But, alas, here we are.

 

I'll continue to stick to my stance that something went awry (missed deadlines, reshoots, creative dissatisfaction, who knows), but they are containing it and sticking to a specific revised schedule. They are extremely lucky the album has sustained chart-wise.

That said, while I've understood the frustration and volume of the complaining, it gets to a point where it's so repetitive and pointless that it overshadows what could be logical and fact-based assessment of what could be to come. Surely, it's the most valuable use of our time as a collective base?

I've wondered if this has always been the plan and they didn't want to have too many big moments to take away from the impact of the announcements. Her career sustains off the hype of Beyonce-sized moments so I'm sure she's treading very carefully not to overexpose herself since a three-act trilogy is pretty ambitious and could easily get tired if it's an onslaught of news all the time.

A lot of Bey's collaborators haven't appeared in the visuals. I don't think it means anything.

The voting doesn’t take place on the deadline. The deadline just marks the end of the consideration period. All they’ll be doing is submitting to the categories and rounds of voting occur over the fall. So the timing is perfect in that sense.

Tems part is not really relevant enough for her to be in the video

 

 

People to tag once October comes and goes without any news on anything:

 

@Cbreezy

@ShouldersSideways

@Rafael

 

Any others?  

The album is holding well and will probably remain top 10 into October. I just wish uer Spotify power was greater. She almost hit 50M monthly listeners and now she's down to 44M.

 

They need a calculated Spotify campaign.

You can add me. I'm optimistic about October. 

Don't forget that the last day of summer is like tomorrow or something

 

 

And don't forget that there's a good chance she might give us something for her birthday earlier this month

 

 

Funny how her mind works, it goes really well with SR's theme/lyrics. 

She looks like that L'Oréal commercial she did that had the leaked pics.

It be a nice belated bday present if she drops something first week of October.

Ren did nothing for her Spotify streams  I don’t get that. Pity

She had over 50M for a while.

 

OT: CUFF IT really coming in the UK!

Okay and then what? My life continues on as it did before.

 

Why did she go from 52M to 44M monthly listeners like that with a new album out? Is it really an important metric/indicator?

If u produced new content and are in an ACTIVE era, it goes up.

 

If ur current era is done, it goes down.

Very easy
