VerdantHue Posted January 4 Posted January 4 3 albums seems ambitious coming from her. Don't get me wrong, I would love 3 albums of new music but she doesn't strike me as someone to release 3 albums worth of material. She is usually quality over quantity but maybe that changed now that she has nothing left to prove.

SashaDevachelli Posted January 4 Posted January 4 The last thing that should be questioned/concerned about her is the quality of the music. I welcome country, rock, trap, whatever the genre is I know it’s going to be good I want it all. Now… if we want to discuss her career decisions or her cooking… we’ve got all day 1 6 4
kimberly Posted January 4 Posted January 4 I just don't see a world where she walks back the "three act project" thing without ever mentioning it... she could have easily branded the tour as Act II and film as Act III if she was looking for a way out of it. to me, the next few months would be the PERFECT time to launch a new album era. she could drop something the weekend/day of the Grammys honestly to be petty regardless, I think if she waits too long before serving Act II, it'll be too late and some people won't tune in. she's at a streaming peak right now. the iron might not look hot but it is hot to touch and that's what matters. 1 2
Draper. Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) Not like I expect her to top the chart, but numbers are low on the BB200. Would be a nice time to release the live album. EDIT: For reference, Homecoming did 38k in two days, and 57k the following week. I still don’t understand how that was considered an underperformance because I don’t expect a new live album to pull those numbers now. Edited January 4 by Draper.
Shelter Posted January 4 Posted January 4 I doubt anything is coming this early. Probably summer or later in the year. Tour next year. That’s if anything is coming this year. 1 1

SashaDevachelli Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Yes I’m one of the annoying fans that petition for Control’s right to be on that album, I see potential in all her flaws the picture is clear as day etc 3
AxelFox Posted January 4 Posted January 4 I was never on board with the 3 acts thing. If you release them too close to each other then neither gets its proper shine or one completely overshadows the others. And if you release them too far apart that kinda negates the point of a trilogy in the first place. Renaissance came out so long ago for her to put put a subsequent act that by these standards we can 'trilogize' her entire career. The destiny's child trilogy (act i DC, act ii TWOTW, act iii Survivor), The going solo trilogy (DIL, BDay, IASF), the 10s trilogy (4,ST,Lem). I just want her to release those damn music videos/film whatever so we can call it a day and move on and she can come back with a new project in a couple years or whenever she's ready.

Nobody want that wack ass shite Could you imagine that type of lead single following the gangsta-soundin’ thug in a cocktail dress-leanin’ “MY HOUSE”? Edited January 4 by Brikenbur

Taylor's Folklore, Evermore, and Lover made her a streaming giant, and the longest between two of them was like a year or something 1 1
Bicassie Posted January 4 Posted January 4 the whole acts concept probably plays into the film miss girl is probably crafting up an entire 3 hour movie

AxelFox Posted January 4 Posted January 4 8 minutes ago, Lose My Breath said: Taylor's Folklore, Evermore, and Lover made her a streaming giant, and the longest between two of them was like a year or something That was not a trilogy, Lover was its own separate thing and she did a major switch up for folklore. It and evermore are sister albums yes but isn't evermore her most overlooked record (outside maybe debut)? That's exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not saying first half of 2024 is too soon or that more frequent releases would be bad, but if she does put out a record this year it wouldn't really play as an act ii to Renaissance. Not any more than IASF is an act ii to BDay at least.

Trilogies in film can be years apart. She'll probably drop Act II this year. I'm thinking the horse is going to be the universal motif that ties the albums together visually. It just won't be a disco ball this time. 3
Pepo Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) The "abundance of music" thing was directly confirmed by Bee herself lmao as she is likely to take a very long hiatus after Act III. Neither the tour nor the film were branded as the following acts, so expect a new album later this year. The rumors were always credible, even Honey Dijon admitted that B was educating herself about the roots of Country music during the pandemic. As if that weren't a hint of what is about to come next.

kimberly Posted January 5 Posted January 5 1 hour ago, 45seconds said: She just won’t mention it ever again lmfaoo. right, then why would she keep calling it Act I - Renaissance still? if she wanted to make people forget, she would have given up that branding. she has not. instead of a photo, her Spotify page literally says "Act I - Renaissance" still in the banner.
Pepo Posted January 5 Posted January 5 (edited) An interesting theory Nice take. The first pose was indeed referencing Act I, ergo Renaissance. I don't believe all of that was done for a simple aesthetic result, there must be a hidden meaning or something. Edited January 5 by Pepo

QueenB Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I really don't see Beyoncé sitting on material for YEARS and still be happy releasing it like it's new I'm on team "All acts are scrapped" 3
SashaDevachelli Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Just post the visuals unlisted on youtube, I don’t care how bad they supposedly look i just want to see the vision. It’s not like she’ll profit much if she released it officially anyways, just hand it over f@tty! 1 2
