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.

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

 

Plastic Off The Sofa

All Up In Your Mind

Move

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.

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.

Thank god the music is A++ lol

America Has A Problem is so damn good. It’s so 80s/Michael Jackson’s “Bad.”

 

Like the user above said - it’s so different for her, but she does it so well.

 

Energy is A SMASH!!! The streams are so high because it works as a standalone track and transition track so well! The Cuff It base line into what sounds like an African safari parade is so immaculate.

 

That is the track I am honestly most excited to hear live just for the production alone.

We’re stuck in an endless cycle.

 

”Where are the visuals?” -> *-ChriZ-* meltdowns -> everyone else complains about complainers -> Grammys talk -> album rankings -> Viola gif -> repeat process

So we’re back at this stage I guess.

America Has A Problem is a masterpiece. 

But I understand, it takes a certain refinement in taste to get it. :foxaylove2:

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 

I have. And I'm so glad someone else sees the possibility of this. 

 

Like you said, this happens all the time. There are countless articles about how the biggest TikToker's make BANK by way of such label collabs. 

 

TikTok IS legit a medium for songs to take off organically, but there's a lot of pay-for-play that goes on there too. A lot. It's very much the new payola. Artist teams work closely with TikTok to "jump start" a track with full knowledge that if it catches, streaming will follow suit as well as radio. It's the new...organic.

 

I'm not sure I buy that there's big well-oiled plan in regards of pulling BMS and the launch of Cuff It. But I don't reject the idea that while we're all looking at the lack of activity around the traditional modes of promo that Columbia / Parkwood are plotting equally potent moves like this. 

 

One of the main reasons I buy this is that Bey's whole thing is being "seen" to not chase hits. Trust and believe though that she, Parkwood, and Columbia will want more big charting moments from this album. So, Cuff It "randomly" taking off so close to the wide vinyl release, Tiffany's, tour announcement, and likely the visuals is a lil too "convenient". I have more belief in it being engineered than being this random lightening bolt of "luck".

That TikTok dance wasn't made by her label, you guys know it. 

Actually CI taking off disrupted plans of Church Girl killing the era.

Nominations will be announced November 15. 

 

If you mean submissions, which get leaked by voters, there's no timeline for that. First round voting is October 13-23, so we'll probably get a list of submissions after October 13 if we get one.

This base getting outta pocket again. :dies:

To clarify

 

Tracklist Has A Skip is cute and I like it until the Tony Montana reference and then I’m…no, Beyoncé. Next.

 

Virgo’s Snooze is career-best 10/10 material until the extra as hell vocal acrobatics which she should have saved. Restraint >

I looked past the Category is Bae/Glorious Bag debacle but this post has convinced me you might have hearing issues, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION!

The things y'all tell yourselves :rip:

 

Nothing masterclass about this rollout :lmao:

It does show that Beyonce is capable of delivering quality music without visuals. After a decade of others crying otherwise. And it also shows that there is organic interest in Beyonce as an artist. The current generation of r&b girls fail to showcase that and they cant properly crossover to mainstream.

 

Messy rollout aside, Beyonce fans and stans have something to be proud of. She is that ONE.

Yeah I wasn’t sure if submissions were officially released or not but you answered my question!  
 

Should help generate some talk around the album again when voters do leak submissions, if that’s the case.

of course! also forgot to mention but sometimes we do get official confirmation of submissions by way of "for your consideration" ads — not sure if Beyoncé runs those at this stage though.
