Has anyone seen the Act II: Future thing floating around on Twitter? Does anyone believe it?

 

 

 

Quote

Basically, the round-up right now is:

- Bey’s seemingly attending the Met Gala in early May, likely debuting the remaining ‘Cuff It’ look from the Balmain collection.

- Next part (album) is out before the tour, likely around the cusp of April/May. Take this with a huge pinch of salt, but one of Twitter’s most renowned ‘insiders’ (who, to be fair, does actually have a pretty consistent, proven track record) has been reporting this for a month or so now. Last Vogue cover debuted shortly before ‘Break My Soul’, and now we have another. Nile Rodgers and The Dream have been sharing studio photos again recently.

- Album was initially speculated by fans to be called Reformation (with Act III being Enlightenment), but now appears to be called Future. Nothing concrete, but a few breadcrumbs from Oliver’s post (talking about Renaissance as a ‘battle for a better future’, the lyrics of ‘Pure/Honey’ referencing ‘future Renaissance’, the futuristic imagery from her last Vogue shoot tying in with Italian Futurism). Above ‘insider’ is claiming the title to be correct, too.

- Again, just a rumour, but the album is apparently covers ‘country, rumba, and R&B’.

- Still nothing on the visuals. People now suspect they might connect all the acts/albums.

So yeah, take what you want from the above with a healthy dose of scepticism. I was debating creating a new thread, but figured since all three ‘acts’ are seemingly linked, we could probably continue on with the same one?

All of this is pretty correct except to my knowledge the album was never going to be called Reformation. I heard the titles a while back but I forgot, but Future is definitely a new title that makes sense to me.

 

Yes, and 100% she changed her mind and is trying to connect the visuals for all 3 albums now. It’s annoying but we might not get them until all 3 acts are out. Still waiting for more info on that.

 

 

not a country album being called FUTURE

What a concept

I just wonder if Oliver Rousteing from Balmain either saw or had a hand in the visuals. Or was he just going by some still frames for each track that Beyoncé shared.

Reformation just sounds like a Lemonade chapter (and I think it is), so she's probably not going to use that.

Country and rumba?? Not reggaeton?? Idk how that would sound… Where are you even getting that info?

So imagine I feel love mixed with happy face by destiny’s child as an interlude and then summer renaissance into halo but rearranged to be a disco song and then break my soul as the encore and she rides reneigh like flying around the stadium as the closer with a choir singing with her for the whole closing sequence 

 

 

 

Like I really feel like the production is going to be worth the money she’s charging. She’s going to go all the **** out moving platforms video screens on the floor different sets hella dancers everything

A UK-based pop forum their Beyoncé thread

this era OMG 😡

the way we have so little concrete info this era, our B-anon era with all the baseless theories that don’t hold up

The Once and Future was kind of a gag before the Renaissance reveal. 

''she's trying to tie the visuals for all three acts"

 

ill wait.

The way Rennie is full of career highlights:

 

Cuff It

Break My Soul

Alien Superstar

America Has a Problem

Virgos Groove

Pure/Honey

 

 

This tea  all of these are standouts in her discography  

Not visuals after 3 acts bye  

I can see it now. When the film comes in 2025 while the world is up in flames we will finally be graced with the “Renaissance” visuals and feel nostalgic about it. It will feel herstorical even. By this time we will have already heard and gone thru the Reformation, but the final act will be the Revolution which is where all three acts come together as a film. It’s no wonder she told us to get in formation and quit our jobs. It’s all for the Revolution coming in 2025. 

 

 

maybe she'll gag us like this again

 

 

Doing the most in the adlibs and background vocals is probably the number 1 reason I became a stan of this legendary woman

 

 

Like others have said, that compilation of tea is actually just a compilation of conjecture + fiction from Twitter, forums, and maybe a sprinkle of actual insider info. 

 

At this point, anything is possible. 

 

However, I just can't see a scenario where the visuals aren't out by the tour. As the tour will essentially pre-empt almost ALL of what gives the visuals value (e.g choreography, themes, outfits). It's just not logical. 

 

Most realistically, I can see her:

 

* Dropping the visuals for Act 1 just before tour starts (Lemonade style). Helps create a circular buzz around the tour, the album, MET Gala etc.

 

* The end of Act 1 visuals teases Act 2 (keeps the masses invested and confirms new music is coming)

 

* Act 2 is surprise released at some point this year. Last date of NA leg of the tour? IMO, it will have to come with visuals as she just won't get away with the nonsense of the Ren rollout again. 

 

* This way of releasing accommodates the "series" idea some of us wished for pre-Rennie dropping.

 

Alternatively, she'd really gag us if just before the tour she dropped an all-encompassing visual "film" comprised of the music on Act 1 and Act 2. After the roller coaster of the last year, I'd actually be at peace if Act 3 IS the visuals. She can spin it like it was some intentional master plan all along.

 

At this point, there's a neatness required to tie this era together (what's out and what's to come). 

 

Even with that, I think there will be some remnant aspects that will remain unavoidably messy.

 

* If Act 2 comes with visuals, it will render the validity of dropping Act 1 without them obsolete. 

 

* Placing the visuals for Act 1 in any kind of close proximity to Act 2 anything (music and/or visuals) runs risk of diluting the effectiveness of one or the other. The girls will either be so gagged by the Act 1 visuals that Act 2 won't hit as hard or they will be so gagged by Act 2 that the reality of *finally* having the Cuff It, BMS, Alien etc videos will be kinda...shrug shoulders.

 

Save for some kind of totally unexpected gag she has up her sleeve, it still feels like we'll have to take the "good" with the "girl, if only you did xyz"

 

Oh Bey...

This was my top theory and belief 7 months ago and its still the same 

 

Act ii - is album 

 

And act iii - visuals. Which will also have BTS or a documentary style stuff 

 

so so tired of the baseless, boring twitter theories  FUTURE ? ENLIGHTENMENT ? stupid ass titles
