Starshine Posted April 29 Posted April 29 Maybe some of us just don't want her attached to another PANNED and creatively bankrupt Disney movie. I'm always here for new moosic though.

TG gave us some of her best ballads and visuals and it was all swiftly dismissed and scoffed by so many. And people wonder why she's been so hesitant to release visuals/promote the same ever since, yet they're still acting like little ungrateful shits. Insufferable. 2

You should be grateful for her trying to get rid of old stock and still having time to record "are you with me lions" 1 3
ScorpiosGroove Posted April 29 Posted April 29 if you make a movie for an album people didn't like maybe don't wait a whole year to release it while you go on vacation if you don't want it to flop idk
king_queen Posted April 29 Posted April 29 At most, we're getting a cute little duet between Bey and Blue. I highly doubt she's doing a whole other alternative soundtrack. It doesn't make sense.
matheusbep Posted April 29 Posted April 29 she's probably not even doing music for it, the original songs are being held by Lin-Manuel Miranda. she'll have a couple lines with Blue, maybe have just one song on the soundtrack and that's it i get being frustrated that she's not doing much for Cowboy Carter but like... it's definitely NOT because of this movie, so whatever 1

Lose My Breath Posted April 29 Posted April 29 Meh, not concerned. She always does a movie right around albums Goldmember (the OG solo album which didn't come ) Fighting Temptations - Dangerously In Love Dreamgirls - B'day Cadillac Records / Obsessed - IA...SF Epic - BEYONCE Nothing for 4 Lion King - The Gift I swear she just does movies to piggyback for album promo lol 1 1

Bey is not the music focus here this time, Nala must be a really small part on the film and she's just there for Blue. Maybe we won't even get a song out of this

Queenyoncee Posted April 29 Posted April 29 1 hour ago, Rafael said: This will not impact Act III at all because it's not like she will do anything for Mufasa promo wise . We will have an original song at max to look out for in November. That's it. I doubt she will make a whole The Gift 2.0 album out of it. If anything, this just confirms Act III isn't coming this year (which is more than OK) and it's a great platform for Blue's imminent entertainment carrer. + this already looks better than the first movie, it's not a remake it's an original story so it could hit different and Berry Jerkins is an amazing director so maaaybe this could do something. I completely understand the frustrations but I don't think this is such a big deal. Unpopular opinion but I have to agree. The Gift 2.0/BIK is definitely not coming (she hasn't even released visuals for her studio albums so why would she release anything for side projects?). She is part of the movie probably because Disney's huge money check and also a great opportunity for Blue Ivy's career. I hope for an original song for the Oscars.

swissman Posted April 29 Posted April 29 38 minutes ago, yonsé said: did you forget the discourse around the gift era? how casual listeners found it inaccessible and said she took herself too seriously, how Africans themselves declared she was attempting to appropriate their culture, how her haters called her "mama Africa"…it was not the romantic time to be a hive like renaissance. returning to that discourse is exhausting and that's why people are not looking forward to it. Black is king is visually stunning, but its storyline is mid at best (it would've been better with dialogue) and her rehashing the lemonade formula did not wow anyone. I'm assuming she took lessons from that and that's why this trilogy film is going to be such a huge undertaking. if she did release the gift part ii it would probably be around the time of the film, and then she'd go on to tour that and CC next summer. Then no one is asking about act iii which will come in 2026. Black is King storyline was mid at best? It was The Lion King's storyline lol. or do you mean the execution of it? imo, it was brilliant. the use of metaphysical timeframes and the layered meanings of having certain actors (especially Beyoncé) portray several different characters and/or people in the circle of live was a stunning way to re-tell the tale. I actually don't think many people paid attention to what it was actually trying to say especially with the storyline of the "mother" we saw at the beginning at the beach. I really don't think that The Gift II is even a possibility though. 2
swissman Posted April 29 Posted April 29 (edited) It would be great if there was a Beyoncé x Blue duet...and then Blue could be the youngest BOS Oscar nominee (because Beyoncé would have the foresight to have her cowrite it too lol). Edited April 29 by swissman
sillycilla Posted April 29 Posted April 29 With her saying that CC is her best work I honestly thought she would treat this album a little differently. Sad to see her drop the ball. 1
sillycilla Posted April 29 Posted April 29 Please don't tell me we are about to get lion king before visuals? Let me off this train. 1 1

I really don't think that The Gift II is even a possibility though. It was a poor execution and interpretation of the lion king story. It dragged it parts and glossed over others. The writing was not its strong suit, the visuals were. It was in dire need of dialogue. The poems did not work. Many people in here said this when it premiered. It hinders its rewatchability Edited April 29 by yonsé 5

Space&Time Posted April 29 Posted April 29 I actually don't gather from the premise of the movie that Beyoncé and Blue will play a huge role give it's a prequel to the first. Nor do I actually believe she will do a whole soundtrack for the movie. I do however believe her and Blue will record a duet for the soundtrack which will be submitted and nominated for best song at the Oscar's.
Beyoncei Posted April 29 Posted April 29 This woman works hard! Renaissance, RWT, Cowboy Carter, Cecred, Lion King No doubt she is working on a tour for CC and Act lll as we speak. 1
