Or perhaps Beyoncé said it herself but that seems less likely) about how much research Beyoncé did for Black is King (when people were calling her out for stealing culture or whatever). And I love to know that clearly, Beyoncé isn't just picking genres to do, she's fully diving into the history and more-or-less forgotten parts of what went into the development of the music she's referencing. TBH I wouldn't be surprised if there were a research team at Parkwood (similar to how authors often have teams of researcher to assist their work when discussing history) tasked with finding all these interesting pieces of history for her to reference and expand upon in her intentions. Or, History Detective Beyoncé is just on the case herself. She’s become such the history nerd /archivist . It’s impressive to see the growth. Art history, music history, black music . Even going back to Work it Out , she was referencing Aretha, Donny Hathaway, and Tina Turner when every artist was keeping it new school . I remember during Bday she kept it very honest and told a reporter she does music for her people and it was kinda walked back a bit but I totally understood what she meant. You can tell she is a researcher when she did her acting too because you can see the inspiration in the music It’s so impressive to watch and I think Solo is as well so they Def get it from there parents . Like I discovered Princess Loko, Fela Kuti, the black national anthem, and now Black Country music and many other stuff from Beyonces latest projects . She is always giving love to obscure artists which is great even though I know the inspiration gets her pummelled at times I can’t lie. Beyoncé has schooled me alot on artists like an episode of Unsung . What people also don’t give Beyonce alot of credit on is how much her music is tea /true to life and actually very personal . People drag her for being private but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a song more personal than Ring Off or an album more personal than Lemonade . 7 1

It's this full thing since I remember the outfit, I have the DVD, she talks about the album process and how people didnt take the album seriously due to the 2-week turnaround. I also remember reading her saying she had songs lined up because the funk sound was inspiring her a lot after working with Jamie/Eddie (Jamie won an Oscar for Ray around this era) and Deena of course. Omg. I’ve seen this clip before on one of those conspiracy pages This clip and the Beyonce Experience DVD clip of her asking God about why he gave her this life went viral back in the day . Aww man, I need to go find more clips of this interview. I love the B’Day era. I wish she would release the acapella of Bday to streaming . The acapella alone is incredible for many of these songs . So many harmonies get missed under the loud instrumentals/ horns . Edited March 15 by Nippy'sReceipts
Nippy'sReceipts Posted March 15 Posted March 15 All the Bday talk reminds me of this . Has anyone ever seen this fun video? Brian spilt the tea I fear 3

BGKC Posted March 15 Posted March 15 2 hours ago, Burn said: I don't think she should release another song before the album. The album is only two weeks away. Having 3 tracks pre-album is too much. We only had BMS before Rennie. True, but I was/am honestly hoping there’s a short teaser like she did with Rennie using the Pure/Honey instrumental that gives us a taste of another track (granted, that specific teaser was released the day Ren was dropped). 1

It would be a perfect opportunity for her to release Act 1 and Act 2 visuals right after Cowboy Carter comes out. That sounds way too good to be true but I hope the rumors were true That would be interesting. Esp considering how the music is so different for both. But hey, if anybody could make it work, it’s Bey.

I would hope in 10 years she would be way past the acts and onto a new album concept by then. On 3/13/2024 at 3:19 PM, Lose My Breath said: Nadia said "coming soon", and I'm sure she was referring to the visuals. Who knows though if we will ever even get anymore information. She didn't even put out a press release for this album, and she STILL hasn't explained the whole ACTs thing Coming soon is the death of us I no longer believe anything unless it comes from Bey directly. The fact that all info/hype for this album is on the back of a 30 second SB commercial is sending me
Iaintsorry Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I’m kinda down for at least one more single before the album. We probs won’t be getting anymore singles once the albums out. So let’s try to milk the singles before she drops the whole thing and then disappears.
Kristie Kuwa Posted March 15 Posted March 15 No need for another Single before the album drop. Stop being impatient. THE is just picking up pace again. The Jolene track will obviously become the track thats gonna get most discussed on Album release which is great cause it'll make people interested to look into the album. You gotta hold these things close to you to maximize interest during album release 5

Starshine Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I just realized I'm seeing Madino on Cowboy Carter's release day. Ou the overstimulation from the queens of music might just give me a stroke. 1 2

Massive_Teardrop Posted March 15 Posted March 15 My orifices are NOT ready for a new Beyonce album in less than 2 weeks
Kristie Kuwa Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Bey just got one of her biggest Updates on Country radio
Kristie Kuwa Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I just set up my last.fm. Theres no way to retroactively get insight on old scrobbles from.last year right? Poor Rennie losing her grip on me like that lol

Arrogant Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I haven't been able to overcome my obsession with this image. If I had stupid amounts of money to throw around, I'd commission an artist to turn it into an oil painting 5

Ill be honest, I put THE and 16C out of my power rotation this last week and focussed on Arianas project, but today I just wanna listen to Beys songs again Definitely! I guess the title has settled for ppl, and to be honest- you can easily add the album to a Playlist, add your own and title it "Revolution", "Revival", "Rodeo"- whatever 😅😅❗️ (The behive have wanted her to namean album Revolution since 2011 a d I'm so over it 🤣). The only reason I've started listening to "Texas Hold'em" regularly is because the album is almost here. Granted, she isn't doing anything with the album for months, which is our fault since she hasn't flopped yet 🤣🤣☠️, look how long we were in drought spells after "LEMONADE" & "THE GIFT"❗️
TizTiz Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Listened to Arianas new album (C+), Halles new single today (cute, but Girl. . .), Cardis 2 new songs (stay in the studio, fav) and Tamars new single (get a real damn producer, a real damn label or go back into retirement) and. . .we be on Beyonce axx, but she definitely puts out quality, cohesive, timeless, genre bending music and structures her album/tour/visuals/Public appearance to coordinate within an era so seamlessly. Parkwood may skip or look over a million steps, but they definitely know how to string an era together. We all have our favs, our second best and those we've excepted for what they can manage to bring to the table, but Bey is not a fav for me. She is one of the few artist I consider 'the standard'❗️ 6
Burn Posted March 15 Posted March 15 The fact the album is less than two weeks away and she’s managed to conceal the album cover is great. 1
