She hardly ever makes such statements concerning her music.

 

We can tell indeed how deeply she cares for this album.

Exactly. Up until now I think she's always maintained that '4' is her best music so it's big for her to say this.

After Renaissance was released people also said it wasn't as strong as ST or Lemonade but they eventually switched and they will again.

 

Run a REN vs. CC poll again in a few months and it'll be a different story I can bet you that.

Not really. I remember Renaissance winning over Lemonade when it was released.

 

Also, now that we know CC was supposed to come out first everything makes a lot of sense. Because Renaissance feels more like an evolution from CC than the other way around. It's like she took notes on everything that worked and didn't on CC and conceived a truly immaculate record with Renna. I know a lot of you are riding on the fever of new music but Renaissance is clearly more polished and refined as a full body of work start-to-finish.

 

Now I'm sure she's tweaked some things on CC after Renaissance's release but between already having made those 'films', a knee surgery, developing and doing a massive world tour I think those changes were most probably minimal. I do think this is more personal and close to her heart though from the way she speaks about it.

Precisely. She made sure to remark that 4 is the album that she prefers multiple times last year. She also loves DIL.

 

CC completes Bey's trinity. At least now we are sort of aware of what a plausible album rank of hers could look like 

My awe and amazement for Cowboy Carter has made me hunt down her bonus tracks. Oh boy, her first 4 albums are a mess  Not to mention the botched tracklists on streaming  Spent a few hours rearranging songs on Apple Music and making them as close as possible to the CD releases

Which is way I'm even more convinced that act III is basically another album.

 

The dots are connecting.

I have a strong feeling Act III will be the visual, not another album 

 

did this really air live on CNN before midnight.

Legend 

Praying the gospel influences on the album will finally put an end to her Sunday Spotify DROPS

Me too.

Its always the same girls. 

Just listened to Im That Girl right after Amen.

 

OH MY ******* GOD, it works PERFECTLY that ding sound at the end of Amen sounds like an elevator, and then u enter the Club, and ur in the world of Renaissance

 

EXCUSE ME????? Are we back in 2003?

The way Posty comes into Levii's Jeans is so SMOOOOOTH.

The way I have the album playing on repeat on Spotify on my work laptop (with headphones plugged in) and then Apple Music on my personal laptop to maximise streams on both platforms.

That until Celestine gave me shivers. 

i am a huge fan of denim (especially with the simple white tee). i'm gonna be dressed according to the theme starting from tomorrow 

WHEW. This woman. What an album. What a vision. What artistry. We truly stan greatness. 

All the super palatable songs are hitting for me rn, but I know that as the weeks go on, the more intricate and experimental songs are going to grab a hold of me. Immediately after Renaissance came out, PURE/HONEY was a skip. Then after 2 weeks it was in rotation. Now it's my most played song. I don't really have this experience with other artists, I either love it or hate it. It's like I get to discover the music over and over again

the way there are LAYERS. i can't wait for the thinkpieces. 

I am such a tyrant

 

 

Well at least she knows!

Oh hunnie, the stars of the album are Spaghetti, Sweet/Honey/Buckiin, YA YA, and Tyrant are among the best, but take a bit more time

Oh I get you, they are often the ones who age the best. You have to keep going back to them and every single time you are hit something new you hadn't suspected when you first listened

I like them all! But I have a few on repeat. Each song will get their turn being on repeat in the end
