And the Chart Hive in me thinks is Rock is the type of genre to explore when she's less concerned about the commercial side of her career. How much Rock or Rock-inpsired music do y'all see on the charts today? I dunno about y'all but I'm very invested in her having commercial success. While I'm nowhere as nit-picky about her recurrent streams as others, Ren and it's hyper commercial sound + its attached tour is doing wonders for her catalog and streaming pull overall. Doing anything super random or left NOW will impact that IMO. There's a science to why Cuff It and Ren etc are all slaying, and it's in its universal, mass-appealing core.

Arrogant Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Did they send Ivy Park to the fitness girls on TikTok? I just started using that app and I see so many of those videos. If she didn't, that's dumb. Like really dumb. A huge wasted opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 3 hours ago, Cbreezy said: I don't know why the girls keep saying Rock either. I like her various flirtations with it, but not for a whole album. I lowkey think it would come across kinda gimmicky too and also be too sharp a shift from her main audience. That said, I'd love something anthemic in sound like this (disregard the artist): It's big, loud, different from her core sound, but also works alongside it. I've always said: rather than a verbatim "Country" album, I want something all-encompassing like a homage to the "South". It will all at once allow her to play with sounds like the song above to Country to Gospel and more. All in a cohesive and forward-thinking way. Rock is so broad of a genre, you're probably thinking of it in linear terms. And anything she does is going to be through her own lens and certainly not be one genre, so I wouldn't worry about that. I mean Rennaissance wasn't a collection of David Ghetta/Calvin Harris sounding songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnieDarko Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) I just love love love Renaissance sooo much, such an amazing album and I can’t wait for my date of the tour. Edited February 11, 2023 by DonnieDarko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I wouldn't over think it. XO also sounded super commercial and flopped into oblivion. The most important thing is that Bey makes music that she's inspired to make. The biggest album tracks are ITG and Alien, neither sounds like anything on radio tbh. Albums are albums and single are singles, so I wouldn't conflate the 2, Cuff it doesn't represent Rennaissance as an album And before anyone says ITG is only big because its the 1st track, the 1st tracks off Lemonade and The Gift are nowhere near the most streamed album cuts.

Jon Snow Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 She’s not here to follow the trends and release radio friendly music. She’s not Katy Perry If you wanna be successful in the long run you gotta do things no one else does and make risks. She’s been doing it for the last ten years and look where it’s gotten her. What’s great and appealing about ALIEN SUPERSTAR is that it’s different. It stands out. That’s why it’s getting half a million streams a day. And you wanna stand out. She’s in the place where she’s able to experiment and she should do it, as long as the music is great and has her signature twists. It’ll always pay off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tachiwaka Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 If she were to try pop rock, I could see her doing something like Dionne Farris: or this classic: Or y’all could just listen to her old **** (That’s Why You’re Beautiful). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade wasn’t immediately available for streaming (which is where that “first track” boom usually comes from) and the first track on The Gift is an interlude But I do agree with you, ITG is defying the odds.

Magic is one of my favorite songs I would love for her to do something like that. That being said who knows if she’s doing another album act lol, we shall see.

Bigger is the first song I'm referring to. It's outstreamed by most other album tracks like FYW, DJealous Me, JAR ARE E, Water etc Essentially if ITG wasn't appreciated, you would see it be overtaken by a lot of other songs but the only songs to manage that are Alien and Energy.

*-ChriZ-* Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 My 2 day ban is over. My God, its truly comical how little Monsters report others for trolling. The jokes write themselves Anyhow, my personal update: - YAS at AHAP getting close to AS when it comes to daily streams. Ive been streaming it nonstop this week and I hope it goes viral and pulls a natural 3rd single choice - Regarding the Rock discussion: Yall should know whatever genre shed go for, shes gonna serve variety and shes gonna Beyonce-fy it. I have no doubt in mind shed nail it and give us anything from a Tina Turner Rock-Pop song to DHY's sister to Sex on Fire to RocknRoll a la Tina and Ike. Beyonce has range and musicality that is beyond exquisite. - Regarding Rennie favs: To me its Virgos Groove, BMS, Cuff It, America Has a Problem, and Pure/Honey. All serving EXCELLENCE!

Otter Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 As far as rock goes, here are some of my references for rock sounds beyond the typical I could see her exploring with her vocal flare, layering and Rnb touch. Again she's never just going to do genre Karaoke and just mimic other artists and no genre is ever just one kind of sound.

*-ChriZ-* Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Also some questioning the commercial viability when her biggest hits were huge on AC (IIWAB, Irreplaceable). When Bey fully dives into the genre, she could literally have a hit a la Shallow and show more variety on the album. Yes, its very likely not gonna be as gay and vibrant as Renaissance, but the commercial appeal could actually be even broader Lastly just think how she nailed that Stevie Wonder Tribute and how the GP resonated with that sound coming from her Edited February 11, 2023 by *-ChriZ-* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giRLbye. Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Beyonce already did the pop/rock sound on IASF. That’s not new territory. I’m here for more of blues/rock/soul vibe like DHY & also why do ppl leave out “I Care” as a rock influenced song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
