I wish we had a thread like this for Beyoncé

 

 

The info we have so far:

 

- The Fela Kuti inspired-album was shelved in 2010, End Of Time was the only song making it into the final cut on 4.

 

- Superpower, Blow, and Rocket were probably the only songs from the original B5 concept that were kept. I suppose her vision changed drastically after meeting Boots.

 

- The Lemonade demos sound so different from the album itself. I guess the sound was intended to be more Alternative/AC during the early sessions.

 

- The original Bey X Jay duet album was never released. EIL was recorded right after it for fun.

 

- She was working on both The Gift and the trilogy during the pandemic. CC was supposed to be Act I and titled as "Beyincé", but I'd like to know what really happened behind the scenes. It might explain what made her change her mind and the messy release: no physical standard edition, no booklet, no photoshoot, missing songs, and so on.

 

Additional:

 

  • Her second album was going to be made out of the outtakes from Dangerously in Love. The first single was going to be the rock-infused "Scent of You."
  • For B3, then called Virtuoso Intellect, she was going to make a dance album with the Freemasons (who remixed most of her songs from B'Day). This would have been more dancy than what Renaissance ended up being. I wish it happened.
  • In 2010, she was going the indie rock route, having chased songs written by The Script/Danny O'Donoghue, and stating she wanted to make an Of Montreal-inspired record.
  • She originally described B5 in the GQ interview as having been influenced by Prince, Diana Ross, etc. and having a doo-***, traditional R&B sound. Diplo said this album was scrapped in July of that year.

  • It was the best concert of my life, bar none. Idc!    It was extraordinary, it was ineffable.  I knew I loved it based on the videos but I... Hey I don't know.    Best moment

    I know this award is a joke but the point is, she has cemented herself in history with the likes of Whitney and Lauryn. And on top of that she won an award for a genre that completely ridiculed and ex

What I'd give to hear these outtakes. :jonnycat: We were robbed of some BOPS.

It's you guys thinking we are getting more singles after 2MW :ryan3:

we didn't want II Most Lesbians to begin with :ryan3:

I really think it's Bey preventing Columbia to promote. For their other artists, they just keep sending sh*t to radio, even non-singles. For Bey, it's like they have their hands tied to their backs waiting for approval. :skull: 

this is all Matthew's fault. If his greedy ass wasn't stealing out of her purse she'd be tied up in columbia's basement rn working on a promo plan but NO he had to steal from her

That much is clear - Bey moves at a GLACIAL pace. Nothing "queen"-like about it other than Elizabeth II Was faster following her corgies than Bey is reacting and doing ANYTHING smart post album release.

 

They really thought that a instagram shooting over the course of a week would suffice as promo for about 2 months if they just stretch out the content. How stupid do u have to be?

It's TaQoya's fault.

 

 

I can't believe her team approved an Arby's horseradish sauce... this era can't get any worse

wait, how can this be true if The Gift came out in 2019? she might have been working on BLACK IS KING but even then, production must have wrapped before March 2020. it was likely in post during the pandemic.

they are labelled as "limited edition" though, which is exactly what they are by literally having a limited tracklist

Mess, not the collaborators getting feisty with one another :rip:

 

 

Ok….. now I can't say I don't see where Willie is coming from because when I first watched this video, I can't lie I actually did side eye the people he had in the background. :rip:
