Thique

All up in your mind

America has a problem

 

The album slows down for no reason at these 3 songs and honestly they are kind of unnecessary after the GODLY 1, 2, 3 PUNCH that is Virgo, Move and Heated.

Mte. Even though I LUV Thique. These 3 songs just dampen the album's momentum so much.

Appreciate u too 

 

and you included thique what is happening? 

That intro of Thique is just too cringy for me

The only song disrupting the momentum is AUIYM.
 

AMERICA is one of the most interesting songs she’s ever recorded. This is a dance heavy album and it’s probably the most dance-heavy track. I can’t wait to see the video and choreo for this catchy bop

Not that Renaissance isn't a perfect album, but IF you had to remove 3 songs, which would you pick?

 

Thique (given the hype of the title, this was a disappointment IMO).

I'm That Girl (it's aight and works as a tone setting opening,  but ngl was a lil nervous about the rest of the album after hearing this)

Plastic Off The Sofa (I appreciate it, but the album would still work as the burst of energy it is without it)

I can barely listen to it because the intro. She can pull off almost anything but in that part she sounds super try-hard

Re:Summer Renaissance Bae/Bey debate; I think its a double entendre.  Meant to convey bae, as in romantic interest giving the context of the song, and Bey as in herself, bc I know she sees all the mispronunciations of her name.  Its a play on that.  The category is me/love.

 

Plus, my interpretation is further supported by her later mispronouncing her name again  playfully when she sings “collect your coins Biyonsee”. 
 

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Can I just say that I find your vernacular to be absolutely colorful and I enjoy reading your dissertations every single time? I love your Beynika propaganda!

Oh wow!!!! I'm flattered; thank you so much for the kind words. Informal colloquial Twitter, ATRL, ingesting 2 Celsius drinks and taking an Oonit collectively influence my syntax and prose. Most especially the latter two, since they'll wrinkle up and skyrocket your Broca's area to whole new stratospheres lol. 

 

As for the BeyNika propaganda, there's this dire je ne sai quois need for me to be on a mission to compell and proselytize an enormous segment of the marketplace who aren't seeing the peanut butter and jelly combo. It's so frustrating when the critically intelligent Hive aren't getting that Nicki and Beyonce are one in the same, and I ain't talkin' about Selena and Demi ;) 

 

If you like the mini "dissertations", wait until you see what's been cooking up for the Nicki and Beyoncé base!!!!!

Nobody is safe in this base, not even Beyoncé. Unless your Blue Ivy you're basically walking on egg shells.

I can't imagine them dragging you. It's ridiculous that I keep missing in on the action, UGH! They should actually cherish your contributions to the base instead of lighting your behind up.

 

I wonder if Blue Ivy has a hidden account here. This territory is dangerous. Everyone needs skin as thick as an elephant to survive

Has anyone considered that the Cuff It challenge was planted? We know labels do this for TikTok challenges all the time. It seemed to take off the moment BMS was pulled from radio. Maybe it was planned to be the single all along and we can expect a further push as it continues to rise 

The only song I would remove is Church Girl.  Or split it into two songs.  Alone they sound dope, together chaotic.  
 

The vocals at the beginning and Beys voice throughout eat tho.  Ready for a lil gospel Bey in act ii or whatever is the RnB act.

This every easy. Energy, America Has A Problem & Heated (or Church Girl as an alternate third option) 

 

I honestly keep forgetting about AHAP

This. Like it's pretty obviously a cheeky play on words 

Edited October 1, 20223 yr by Machete

Y’all still pretending like Thique isn’t the worst song on the album? 

CUFF IT becoming a real hit chosen by the public literally. I bet many didn't see that one coming huh? lol. A good body of work will always be recognized, promotion or not. A music video is nice of course but it was never an obligation to get a hit. What Beyoncé is showing right now is a master class of letting MUSIC flow naturally for a while before any manipulations from visuals or promotions. Music in its purest form. You can only do that as an artist when you are truly confident in the QUALITY of work and i'm so proud as a fan that quality is something that will never be questioned for my fave. By the time she is done with the other acts, i bet some music insiders will rethink some things lol.

this is a tough question because I'M THAT GIRL is bottom three for me but I wouldn't remove it, it's a good intro to the project. as I controversially revealed yesterday, SUMMER RENAISSANCE is also in my bottom three, but I think it's a good closer and it almost loops back into I'M THAT GIRL.

 

I guess if we're chopping 3 songs, I'd let go of some of the sonic outliers:

CHURCH GIRL (I love this song but it's easily the most jarring moment when you listen to the album in order)

MOVE (this is a nice song but it's more The Gift than Renaissance)

ALL UP IN YOUR MIND (y'all are haters -- but this song does stand out among the rest)

no

Funny because All up in your mind is the perfect song for Halloween season and would take off with a Thriller like music video. I bet Beyoncé already did the most with the video that will elevate it so i'm not even worried lol now let's hope she puts it out before Halloween.

Are you alright? the two girls who started the challenge are literally online and they are two random people not even fans of Beyoncé. They were talking about the challenge today actually and how random it was for them.

I’m convinced it’s a coping mechanism 

Keep your shade. I never thought Bey would release anything before October. The date for the coming vinyls were always for later and the Parkwood statement also confirmed visuals for later. The delusional people who expected a normal era from Beyoncé in 2022 are the ones being negative right now. Good luck lol.

I wouldn't. I would add some sort of uptempo, bluesy 2-minute interlude that sampled a Whitney Houston interview about the church and secular worlds after "Break My Soul". Hopefully, beginning in silence and ending with the same Clark Sisters sample as "Church Girl".

 

Spoiler

The beginning of this interview:

 

And some of this one:

 

 

That BMS-Church Girl transition is the only imperfect thing on the album.

Edited October 1, 20223 yr by trainsskyscrapers

Heated has grown on me a lot lately, it's really addicting. Besides, Church Girl is truly perfection. 

 

AUIYM is the weakest song on the album, but that doesn't mean that it's bad.
