Hopefully it's outperforming the other song as well, so I won't be seeing that name lumped together with Beyoncé. Edited March 27, 2023 by Pepo

I mean having these streams with a #1charting song + a successful song like Cuff It is just not that great. But anyway I guess. I made my peace with us not getting anything before the tour
Brikenbur Posted March 27, 2023 Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Listening to my Grace Jones vinyl records while I’m moving right now and just realized RENAISSANCE has the same transitional flow(s), two-songs-in-one, as Fame and Portrait and they’re BOTH soulful, funky, clubby, gay People who say there’s just a bunch of fillers on RENAISSANCE truly don’t understand it and that’s ok. She is REFERENCING A complete musical journey. Just as those of yesteryear Edited March 27, 2023 by Brikenbur

It will be 2 billion or near it in one year. How is that bad? The album has held up way better than any of us could have expected. P!nk is doing 1.5 million per day with a new album, would you prefer that? some of you are just not realistic, she is not a new artist, she is not going to be doing 6 - 7 million daily like Olivia Rodrigo, she is not part of the streaming era. Sam Smith 3.7 million per day, 2.7 million coming from just Unholy. Not good.
satellites.™ Posted March 27, 2023 Posted March 27, 2023 She is so stunning.... we really got to live through BEYONCE, like as she gets older I feel so lucky to have seen all of this in real time. I know kids today see her like MJ, untouchable legend, but Beyonce was not always so secluded, she used to be EVERYWHERE.
Iyanla, Fix Me Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 I wonder if it will be obvious when certain videos were shot. Like I imagine she'll look a bit different from when the album book visuals and the ITG teaser (late 2021 or early 2022) vs anything that was shot in Q4 2022 or Q1 2023.
Planet Mars Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 I'm not here for the negativity but RENAISSANCE is a perfect example of an album with everything going for it whose momentum was honestly killed. The streams aren't that great, and the album's longevity even now is thanks to blips like the Grammy's. I'm looking forward to the tour, but I truly think the window for RENAISSANCE is over and if they're planning on taking that energy to FUTURE or whatever album they have planned they can keep it. Just drop the videos and get on with the tour atp
ariesgroove Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 waiting for beyoncé to move so i can come into basé and see people happy for once
AxelFox Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 I'm sorry but fans have all the right to be unhappy with this whole ordeal. It is disrespectful of her to have dropped a bomb like this then ignore the fans for almost a year. Again, nobody, I assure you nobody wanted another IASF or even 4 from her. We're aware she's at a different point in life. Most of us in here would've been more than happy with an era like Lemonade where the content is there in time and she does a few high profile performances before going on tour. To show some involvement and enthusiasm for you long awaited project, you know?! What has she done since FREAKING June last year? Vacationing in Croatia and perform a private gig in Dubai where she offered pouches to guests to make sure they dont film her so nobody of us could see it? It was already beyond ridiculous for her to not do anything in 2022, but we were still hoping she'd at least do something at the Grammys. She shows up late, doesnt do anything and leaves an hour after arriving Now she's back to hiding as well. I really believe all the praise and reverence has finally got up to her head where she thinks she's too good for anything. You're never too good to show gratitude towards the fans that have taken you where you are. But ut is what it is. It's not like we can do anything about it so we just take it out on here to release our frustration
bijonse Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) I know she’s slowed down ever since she had kids but i wasn’t expecting her to legit give us nothing but a couple tik toks. like maybe she’ll do her own little performance on her own stage and put it on YouTube or something? Maybe the videos are coming late? But if she legit gives us only the album and then the tour then I guess she’s truly over promoting her art. Columbia has legit done everything this era to promote it outside of that tik tok she did when the vinyls shipped hdhdhdhdjhdjd. She’s too young for that kind of attitude towards her art though. Maybe we’ll understand everything in time like maybe she’s been working on something to truly gag us and make us stfu like when she dropped self titled after a year of torturing us Edited March 28, 2023 by bijonse
bijonse Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Renaissance is so good that it kinda makes up for the silence. It just feels like she was more active BEFORE Renaissance dropped though which makes me think she’s working on something big and she’s been taking vacays on breaks from that work. Maybe the videos were scrapped or something and she just doesn’t wanna talk about it in a magazine interview? It was super weird that she only did one magazine cover last year. She would even do multiple on her off years before

It's not like we can do anything about it so we just take it out on here to release our frustration Like I know she doesn’t owe her fans anything, technically speaking. She gave us the music and the tour coming but like what about the younger demographic? Like it’s crazy to me to think there’s people in high school who were born around the IASF era. Most of these kids ever known her to be is an overly distant, untouchable “Queen” that doesn’t do any interviews or promote much at all. It’s no wonder the “overrated/hyped” argument revolving her is so prevalent. Renaissance was the perfect opportunity to reintroduce her vivacious self to a new generation of fans by doing what she does best, but she chose silence… like if it wasn’t for TikTok… granted, it’s not over yet.

Fanta Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 i don’t come here often so pardon me but where the f*ck are these visuals?
AxelFox Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Just let this sink in She did a televised performance for freaking Be Alive, whereas we will most likely never get one for - Break My Soul, the #1 lead single of her first major album release in 6 years - Cuff It, her biggest hit since 2009 - Virgo's Groove, the best song she's ever recorded
SashaDevachelli Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 I think I have finally let the disappointment and anger sink in as far as how bad this album has been treated a while ago, I just don’t care anymore whether things will happen or not. Whenever she decides to do something I’ll be ready waiting and stanning, but I can’t bother to complain anymore about the bleakness. She has successfully made me numb, my soul has indeed been broken contrary to her #1 hit lead single. I say all this but best believe I will have a full on freakout when she eventually stuns at the Met gala in her Cuff Hit outfit, visuals drop, AHAP and Heated are #1 smash hits, and breaks box office records with her world tour. And to top it off I’m gonna claim this was the plan all along and that she’s a marketing genius and we just need to trust the process
Iaintsorry Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 13 hours ago, Blumoon said: Her approach to her music has been so weird lately (past decade). For someone who states music is everything, she acts like she could gaf about it post release. Doesnt make any sense and the unbothered persona is so dated. If you are so unbothered about your own product, why should anyone else gaf. Reason why IVP failed w Adidas and why act ii is going to break her #1 album streak. This seems to be Beyonces new goal though, so- I still cant believe she managed to stall the momentum of this era so perfectly. Yes girl, give us nothing! I think (for most artists) the most enjoyable part is the creating of the music. Once it’s released it’s basically the public’s possession and the artist moved on to the next thing . At least this is how I believe Bey feels about her albums now. She loves creating still, but she’s def over the business side of it and playing by the industry’s rules …. All this **** I’m doing is boring These record labels are boring
Monday Night Messiah Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 I was just watching performances of her old songs and realized that we haven't gotten a truly vocally-challenging song from her in a long time. I think "Heaven" is the last one in that league. Not counting "Plastic Off the Sofa" or "Virgo's Groove" because the challenge comes from vocal runs, which Bey is a master of, not high notes. Do you think we'll ever get songs like these again? I miss her singing, but I can understand why she's not making them anymore. Most of her new songs seem to be tour-optimized.
