One insta reel had Levii's and the one after had Bodyguard. I thought maybe they were testing to choose between the two. Then the Cecred thing followed with Bodyguard once and I thought ooh so they picked the latter, fantastic...

I really dont understand how u can be so capable at launching a new era and the first song, and then being SO INCREDIBLY bad at everything that follows. I just don't get it, especially when launching takes way more skills than keeping the momentum up. Like, I know its gonna be that way with Bey/Parkwood, but I'm shook every single time when I see it unfold in real time over and over again 4 1
BnPac Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Or maybe they're going with both : very little push for 2MW to serve as a promo single and Bodyguard as the real single. Spoiler Even I don't believe it.
cuteboyzay Posted April 26 Posted April 26 (edited) She's definitely planning something behind the scenes but like, we need performances. We need and ERA. Like not even the cover art is eating How can you have such a star studded collab (Beyoncé ft. Miley) with Miley's STRONG connection with Gen-Z, and NOT push it to the High Heavens and utilize it!? Lorddd someone please get Taylor Swift on the line with Bey. At least with Rennie there was some mystery. This isn't even really mystery anymore it just seems like they're dilly dallying atp. I truly feel she should only post and feed us when it's something super important and actual promo. I prefer her going ghost every 1-2 weeks than the tiny little crumbs lmao!

cuteboyzay Posted April 26 Posted April 26 (edited) This is gonna be my first rant on here OMFG but : Beyonce and her team are so out of touch. I'm sorry but especially with the messages and themes of Rennie and Cowboy, speaking up for minority groups and reclaiming space. This stuff NEEDS to be everywhere. For such an important message for her, they don't treat it as such when it comes to promo, and effort when it comes to everything else. If you're going to strip Visuals for 3 albums straight (literally something that makes up HALF of the album) then at least put forth a little more effort in promo or exposure. As much as I want to trust her vision, part of me also would like a music video or SOMETHING to tide over this nearly 4 year wait. It just kinda doesn't make sense. Edited April 26 by cuteboyzay 7
Kh-Loud Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Beyoncé has a detailed grand plan for everything - please trust the process 5

Its the fact u typed this and posted it 15 min after ur first post. Oh i could feel the heat emerging. It probably happened while typing the first paragraph. So relatable 3
luxurious Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Bey and her team really know how to butcher an era like wooowwwww. I really thought things couldn't get as bad as the way Ren was handled but they've really outdone themselves 2 1
luxurious Posted April 26 Posted April 26 shaboozey's bar song shaping up to be a bigger hit than anything on CC (Im still happy for him tho!)

For Rennie I understood where she was coming from but it almost feels as if she's doing a disservice to not only the album but the entire era and message itself with CC. It's like you see someone with soooo much money and nearly unlimited resources and completely NOT utilize that to their advantage, knowing as fans if you were in her position you would do anything to maximize the potential of each album. She's done it before with eras like Lem and such. I really wonder why she just can't… do it again. 1

This is the same woman that was SHAMELESS enough to sign thousands of posters, put these signed posters in front of the Beyince Vinyls, and pretend like its the digital album. They are SO messy on SO many fronts, it really is crazy. Somebody of Beys stature should NEVER have such bad management Edited April 26 by Kristie Kuwa
ScorpiosGroove Posted April 26 Posted April 26 yeah getting outdone by a khia artist YOU featured and who is already out streaming every single song on your new album is just so embarrassing omfg 4
Mitsouko Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Real ones never knew where tf she was coming from, real ones never trusted her "vision" 2
Hallad173 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 I think I really just feel bad for these albums, these phenomenal bodies of work. as great as they are and have been for years. It deserves more than what is done for them. At least they scan platinum so it seems like a win. 4 4

LegaMyth Posted April 26 Posted April 26 I still can't believe that they've send out CDs without all the tracks and refuse to to send out new copies. 1
king_queen Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Y'all what exactly does "khia" artist mean? Bc everytime I read it, it translates to irrelevant black artist and I hate that verbiage… …especially in this base
ShouldersSideways Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Hive looking for hints everywhere is starting to give actual mental illness. Is the rationale Bey or Parkwood went to a random Barnes and Noble to drop a hint? 3
cloudbusting Posted April 26 Posted April 26 still think the wildest thing to happen this era wasn't the botched physicals, but people deepthroating parkwood's boots to defend it 4

Is the rationale Bey or Parkwood went to a random Barnes and Noble to drop a hint? the way her lack of communication or follow-through has triggered mass psychosis

It comes from this meme: Maybe you're only seeing it used for black artists because you mainly follow them but I can ensure the phrase is used for artists of any race. It isn't racial at all.

Okay I've definitely seen this term used by Swifties in reference to the black artists included on CC and it always rubbed me the wrong way but I guess I can see this too 1

Yeah now that we're into a new album cycle I look back on Renaissance and it just feels so hollow and empty to be honest. Like it wasn't an actual 'era' of her career that we will reminisce 15 years down the line. You think back on previous eras before the 2020s and they all have such a strong visual identity, there's all these moments, performances, videos & looks that come to my mind and for Renaissance it's just I guess the Dubai fiasco happened. I know that the tour happened eventually and one can say that's what comes to mind but I feel like we subconsciously just use it as a substitute for everything else that we didn't get. 8
