Well, at least we know the full album with the digital cover as we know it will come out eventually!

Bey after signing those posters covering the botched vinyls knowing yall would fall for it so Parkwood can avoid writing them off as bad debt:

I hope the visual for YA YA is as camp as the song. Has she ever done camp before?! (Besides telephone)

Do ya'll hear Ya Ya as a single?  I could see her selling it with a visual.

 

Also it will be a good election season bop!

 

If she were to decide to have 4 or more single this era, sure! But if it's anything like Rennie we'll have to settle for one more single and I don't see Ya Ya making the cut. Much like we lost out on Heated or Alien Superstar smashing, Ya Ya will probably have the same fate. (Hope not tho)

Future

Tems, BEAM, the BLACKBIIRD girls, Willie Jones, Shaboozey, DIXSON, Leven Kali, RAYE, Ryan Beatty, Mamii, Sabrina Claudio, 070 Shake, Jozzy, Mike Q, Arlo Parks.

 

(Plus all of the names she listed in the BMS Queens Remix fit into one of the three categories)

 

I love how she's incorporating all these different eras of music in these acts and paying tribute to and/or bringing these artists on this journey with her.

I added a few more prominent artists as she has also been paying homage through strategic songwriting partnerships, direct spoken word excerpts, and conventional sampling, but you hit the nail on the head: meticulous, well-researched respect of the past, present, and future is why she has lasted so long in this industry. She has become a top-level archivist as well.

Are we ready to admit that Renaissance might have edged out Cowboy Carter by a point or 2?

I need to stay with CC for a month before deciding.....but deep down we know Ren will edge out CC in the long run.

nope, if anything CC made me link Ren less ...still a 10/10 album though

Do yall think she'll go to the Met Gala? After the RWT, it would be nice if she goes to support Loewe who is the big designer they are pushing this year. And it would be nice for her stylist to add that to her resume.

But I'm sure JayZ and his PTSD won't let her leave the house 

first update in 10 days and it's the toilet water. she is really going to make us pay before she posts her Supervinyl video

I think she is gonna tour in summer 2025   and Act 3 comes out next March or April .

Right now, she is filming the movie or visuals for the trilogy . Maybe the songs will be abbreviated in the videos as there will be a script and dialogue and famous A list celebs acting in it

i was listening to energy and it was the version with the "la la's" in it. kelis was trifling for kicking up a stink over them la la's 

 

I finally got around to listening to Cowboy Carter. I don't think I will listen again tbh. I just wasn't connecting with the sound on this album. So many interludes and it just felt bloated and boring. Renaissance is much much more my thing. I find myself loving some of those tracks even more now. 

 

Do we have any ideas as to the sonic direction of act 3? 

Ya Ya deserves a James Brown performance themed video
