The album leaked? 

It's out in NZ

I hope the Target exclusive is real. With this whole era feeling like IASF 2.0, I was thinking that she'd be smart to get a deal with Walmart so that her CDs are stocked at every register along with the gum and candy Make someone at Parkwood earn their pay.

Nothing on Apple Music in Australia. Sigh, the delay for AM sucks.

The whole song has completely different lyrics. It just follows the melody.

I haven't heard it yet but this was my prediction too. It just made no sense. It's not that she's effortlessly invulnerable ("I'm not too perfect to ever feel this worthless") it's just that the vibe of begging a woman not to take her man has never ever ever ever been a Beyoncé vibe.

Calling it now, Bey's Jolene will flip the original concept on its head. 

 

Beyond Bey's whole brand being built on feminism as far back as DC, I don't think there is any contemporary act that would sing those lyrics (as is) in 2024. It literally is the antithesis of everything today's society stands for. 

 

Can y'all imagine a Maleficent-like approach (stay with me lol), where she sings from the perspective of Jolene and flips the story. If done well, it will be the most iconic take on the song simply because everyone else has gone the verbatim cover route. 

 

The only way I see Bey doing the original is if the album is waaaaaaay more conceptual than we're anticipating. Like, literally "not" a Beyonce album and is instead the album of a character (Cowboy Carter?). I don't buy this, though, as 16 Carriages is as autobiographical as it gets.

Think I'll re-park this right here!

Told y'all so!

I was reading all your reactions and I'm SO excited. Glad you loved it.

The only thing I'll say in here to avoid ruining everything is that the album is like a movie, like a crazy movie that you can't stop watching, that you have to know the ending.  It's an actual masterpiece
