where do you sample it? I'll sniff today and cancel my order if I hate it

 

They were giving out samples at the concert, it smells ok but her other perfumes were better

It smelled nice at the NY/NJ show did something change?

The photoshoot for Vogue kind of gave it away 

 

 

We know Beyoncé loves hinting stuff, she has done it before and she did it for Renaissance as well ("a renaissance is coming"). 

 

Secondly, Beyoncé herself stopped giving a **** with 4 by literally recording the music she loved after scoring her most successful era of her career. 

The same applies to Lemonade, in which era she insisted on showcasing the artistic value of the project. 

 

She could literally flop with an indie album and sell out a venue the next day. 

Radio and streaming don't give the full picture since touring is the main source of income for singers. 

 

Beyoncé has already stopped competing by the way, her words. 

 

Cuff It Wetter remix into Energy >>>>>

 

Which is a shame given Cuff It's marvelous arrangement. 

 

Beyoncé is no Lady Gaga nor Lana Del Rey, thank God. 

 

Satellites, Disappear, That's Why You're Beautiful are stunning intimate songs.

 

If the majority of the users here aren't into that, well, that's their problem. Beyoncé is going to release whatever she feels like, whether it's a Country, Rock or ballad-driven album. 

 

Not to mention that Amazon Italy article that was quickly deleted, saying that she was basically reclaiming black generas including country, and rock

Respectfully, I TOTALLY disagree. 

 

Saying Bey posing on a motorbike in ONE picture is indicative of one of the albums being Rock is the REACH of life, beloved. 

 

Also, I really wish some corners of the Hive would stop peddling this idea that she "doesn't care" about hits or commercial sales.

 

If she didn't, she wouldn't have launched the album with BMS - THE most commercial, cookie-cutter, GP-pleasing anthem on the album. Similarly, the countless merch configurations, finally embracing vinyl, and various covers say otherwise. LOUDLY. 

 

Yes, she's stopped participating in the MPG rat race that sees her worth solely weighted on her commercial performance, (hence the limited promo etc) but it's crystal clear that she/her team will consistently do "enough" to ensure she retains this regality and optics of success (e.g. 300k first week, a couple of GP-pleasing top 10's per era).

 

Until I see Bey doing 50k first week and not scrambling in the way they did for EIL, I'm not buying this IDGAF that some fans swear is the case. 

 

Commercial success and appeal to a broad non-stan audience is literally what allows for these back-to-back sell-outs on the RWT. If you think she'll keep doing RWT gross with underperforming non-commercial music, I'm sorry but that's not happening. 

 

Bey is about her bag (above all else), so an air of commercial will always trail and define her output (even Lemonade has Formation, Hold Up, and Sorry) until she's ready to actually tap out of the game.

that Amazon Italy thing was total bullshit. didn't it also say BREAK MY SOUL video was coming out shortly and Ryan Tedder was involved in Renaissance?

New theory: The Amazon Italia content writer could barely translate it from English and we need to find the original text to unlock all the secrets of the projects. Our Da Vinci Code moment

 

ahh the Amazon Italy days

Didn’t Ryan himself say that he made some songs with her though? Perhaps it was Rennie outtakes or potentially songs for act 2. I could’ve sworn he was confirmed to have worked with her in some way and it wasn’t just Amazon Italy, maybe I’m remembering wrong

Ryan's name was specifically mentioned in the one and only article about the multiple genres ... which only mentioned Dance and Country.

ofc she will and we love her for that, we wouldn’t get the amazing albums she does if she listened to what others want 

 

but for me the ballads aren’t happening, at least not for a while. since Lemonade we haven’t gotten many ballads, the main solo one we did get was a let down and her biggest ballad recently was an Ed Sheeran song we all hated, and the rest were mainly rap/hip hop collabs, an album with Jay with no ballads, and a pure upbeat album like Ren… coupled with what she said in the "i feel a renaissance emerging" i don’t see her doing ballads or stripped back music rn, she really seems to be in a new mindset now.

 

I see her doing a super upbeat, hedonistic country-dance creation and lowkey inventing a new genre before doing a ballad rich, stripped back album (she’ll probably save that one for the day the palliative care rumors start becoming true )

and i applaud your bravery but by "we all hated" it i obviously mean 99% of the hive and not the crowd of basic straights who love to play it at their wedding 

 

do you want an album full of Perfects or Spirits ? no, nobody wants that, and she doesn’t seem to be in the mindset to do them either so we should good, which was my point ! (and if somebody wants an album full of Spirits then i’m  for them)

I just don't overthink cause Bey always delivers on her albums, especially ever since she parted ways with Matthew. Thats literally the only thing I have faith in when it comes to Bey. Anything else, she completely managed to destroy lol

Sometimes she files trademarks for things associated with her brand that she won't necessarily use. Although House of Chrome would've been a cool alternative name for Club Renaissance.
