The circle jerk over the fact that Ren is currently taking away from the rest of her catalogs recurrent streams is rich tbh  She was literally the first female to have 3 albums cross a billion streams in a decade where she “lacked hits” 

These people haven’t learned anything since 4 and it shows. 

No wonder stans of the decayed goblin are so desperate lately. Hopefully Cuff It keeps rising so that will extend their pain 

Yall think we are getting a rock and country album but just watch when the reality is we get a pure pop album full of Sia and Ryan Tedder songs, and an R&B album with Tricky Stewart and more of The-Dream.

Both Ryan Tedder and Sia are currently smashing with random songs, maybe this is what we want. Throw David Guetta in the mix too

I know I was silently skeptical when I saw his name all over the credits that were released before Rennie and wow was I scared of NOTHING 

 

The dreamxYonce is a match worth making again in my eyes 

Dreamyoncé never miss so. 

I always forget how good some of the DIL deep cuts are

Actually, I’ve been thinking that we got some Nile Rodgers and Giorgio Moroder in Renaissance but I’m still missing a Quincy Jones reference, so hopefully it’s there in one of the other acts.

That’s a classic  I know some people sleep on DIL but that album has so many gems. 

Tbh I’m excited to hear what she cooked up with Ryan Tedder. Rennie was a successful return to pop and with him working on an album this album trilogy really feels like a evolution and spiritual sequel to I am… Sucha Bore I wish we would get the same level of promo but beggars can’t be choosers

DIL is still an amazing body of work to me.

I feel like if you don’t like DIL then you don’t really **** with bey at the core of her artistry bc through and through she is an r&b girl and that shines through allllllll her work. The vocal layers and gospel inspo from r&b is in every single one of her projects and DIL is a pure r&b/pop album

The girls don’t make r&b music like yes speechless and that’s how you like it anymore they just DONT. and then all the singles are excellent too DIL is so ******* good

Oh absolutely. The older I get the more I appreciate it. It’s a sexy album. Speechless, Be With You and Yes alone are for the sheets. Throw in Baby Boy for good measure. Anyone who thinks she suddenly became more “sexually explicit” since ST are deaf and blind.

This. I be taken back when I see ppl trash this album. It was pop yet had that strong contemporary rnb sound that was huge in the late 90s/early 00s.

Its def a project I loved more growing up. Listening to the lyrics and the energy she had for this album made it an incredible debut (minus Daddy)

Most Definitely.

 

I would've switched "Daddy" for "Summertime" w/ Diddy and maybe added bonus track "What's It Gonna Be" on the standard edition over "That's How You Like It" to remove all filler, but it's still an impressive debut.

Taste esp with Summertime. 
 

Like I blocked Daddy from my Spotify cause I got tired of skipping it.

While I actually want the Country/Southern (tinged) project, I'd actually be here for this. Especially as Chart Hive.

 

As necessary (and genius) a brand shift as ST and Lemonade were (and I wouldn't change a thing), I've missed how amazingly omnipresent she can be when being "CommercialYonce'.

 

We can't even make it a promo thing. Because she arguably did more to promote Lemonade and Hold Up compared to Ren but BMS and now Cuff It are on track to being her biggest singles with the GP since IASF...without promo. It really boils down to how commercially palatable the music is to the masses. 

 

I love that our girl doesn't always play to those rules, but after not doing it for a decade, I'm ready to play ball again. It's a really smart way to level up her streaming clout and will see her leave us on a high note heading into her next era (outside of this possible trilogy). 

Imagine if she actually does promo for act ii.
