ShouldersSideways Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Her killing someone in the movie (Daughter) makes a lot of sense with some of the visuals we've seen and the theories you can faintly hear someone shouting "let me out of here" in the bg of some Renaissance songs... 3

I swear, it's like she stop working on the album to work on "RENAISSANCE", picked it back up and kept the older song because "RENAISSANCE" sonically comes after the middle of this. And then "AMEN" feels as tho the musical journey of the trilogy, but the end takes me either back to "I'M THAT GIRL" or the beginning of another album. This is not a complaint, just an observation. I know how some of yall can't handle opinions 😅🤣☠️❗️ 1
PrettyHurts Posted March 29 Posted March 29 (edited) does anyone else think based on lyrical clues the album was originally called RODEO, then BEYINCÉ then finally COWBOY CARTER Edited March 29 by PrettyHurts
ShouldersSideways Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I forgot we still have more songs coming (at least 1, 2 if the target version is true)
chaeyonce Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I want more Opera singing from her like who is this woman and what isn't she capable of?

Requiem is the beginning of a prayer and Amen the end. It's a spiritual experience, it's meant to be a pilgrimage through the South. 2
Mitsouko Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Unfortunately my iTunes download copy of YA YA can't be played in isolation because the track ends while she's still stinging I hope that gets fixed
LVP Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I wanted to say that I like Shakira, I even danced to Waka Waka with her on stage, but these gals comparing them are so funny for me now Shakiras new album is so generic while we are treated with quality 1 1
Mitsouko Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Bodyguard is ultimate fave after my first listen. I listen to it and I bite my lip like the emoji 1 1
chaeyonce Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I need another tour. Could be a stripped down stage, vocal heavy.
ariesgroove Posted March 29 Posted March 29 give the visuals up for now she's very obviously gonna do a film at the end of the act series 1
TROPICUM Posted March 29 Posted March 29 imagine the collapse with a theatrical release for the visuals after act iii releases like this is probably her biggest and most ambitious project ever and most likely one of the most important ever in pop culture shaking 1
MrPiggyMoka Posted March 29 Posted March 29 TYRANT im sorry I'm speechless, don't even know how to react to this album omg. She always overdoes herself… how??
BGKC Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Daughter is the best, most vulnerable track on first listen. Just stunning. Ya Ya is the most entertaining. But the 1234 closing punch between II Hands II Heaven, Tyrant, Sweet Honey Buckin and Amen is insane. She put a pause on the country and wrapped it up with hip hop, r&b and gospel. Such a masterpiece. 3 1
Anvarie Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Just finished listening, it felt really long, maybe it was because I was tired but I found myself hoping some songs were interludes so the album would be done sooner There are a ton of standouts (American Requiem, Blackbird, Texas, Bodyguard, Jolene, Most Wanted, and more kinda forgot already) However, this album is A LOT, whereas Renaissance felt like a tv episode (but very high quality) this album feels like a WWII documentary. Like yea it's good but damn ma Im hoping after 2-3 listens it starts to click even more, I don't see a world where this genre attempt can surpass her bread and butter sound: Crazy in Love, Green Light, Dance For You, Drunk in Love. I will say I'm excited for Act III I believe that has the potential to be one of her best albums like Renaissance! 1

But I'm on the 2nd listen already and so much more clicked. I personally need a lot of time to digest this.
bwhansen Posted March 29 Posted March 29 When she does another cliquebait teaser and posts the last 30 seconds of the AMEN video which lead directly into ITG... 2
Rider Posted March 29 Posted March 29 But why does the end of Amen and the album sounds like we're being taken by an UFO to Act III? 4
