Sonically, vocally, lyrically... As an album opener, it also serves as a stronger introduction and first chapter of a record than CIL does. But perhaps this is also a redundant point to harp on because one would only hope that an artist, after 7 albums, has matured enough to craft a more masterful album opener than their debut record. For CIL to still be held in such a high record even 20 years later is a testament to her singular talent and virtuoso intellect. American Requiem is a recital. It's exquisite. I totally agree. Also Spirituality/religion serving as the literary and lyrical theme of American Requiem (intro) all the way through Daughter (Climax) to end with Amen (closer) Genius. I genuinely don't think you can compare CC to any other albums of hers aside from Lemonade. 1

suburbannature Posted March 31 Posted March 31 I need a CC box set to go with the Rennie one, which was stunning
Kristie Kuwa Posted March 31 Posted March 31 (edited) I've never heard a Bey track that I so strongly associated with Winter and Snow like Daughter. I can literally envision it - the dark blue night of a City that is engulfed in Snow, Bey on a horse, the stark contrast of Red in the white Snow (blood), on her lips, the dress (blood) Then the aria the moment she kills Jolene in slowmotion Edited March 31 by Kristie Kuwa
