Flanders Posted July 8 Posted July 8 God, I really just want Beyoncé to make a pop album again.. like, not house, disco, dance, etc, but just... pop music. 1
Cbreezy Posted July 8 Posted July 8 Granted everything that can be said about the nothingness of the era has been said already, my biggest annoyance is a bit more nuanced. Bey is primarily an R&B/Pop act, so centering the album on Country required her installed fanbase to venture out of their usual lane. So, to invite the masses on a relatively "left" musical journey to leave us hanging for so long is...a choice. Every previous album of hers could stand on its own sans much promo, including Rennie (which is sonically in her usual wheelhouse). A "Country album by Beyonce" -- which, prior to this year, would read like an oxymoron -- **needs** a mightier push for that very reason. Commercially she is fine and probably exceeded expectations (particularly when it comes to how many top 10 singles the album has factually achieved). But in terms of the resonance of the material (outside of Texas) and innovation of the era, it feels like it "may" end up being exactly what she didn't want: more of a footnote mention of "remember when Beyonce went Country for a quick sec" versus this culture-shifting game-changer that it felt they were going for pre-release. I leave room for all of this to be rendered obsolete should she roll through with some epic visual, tour, or other move we weren't bracing for. But as of now it's all a bit...meh. 2

Nippy'sReceipts Posted July 8 Posted July 8 (edited) R&B ages the best out of any genre . I've always said it. Pop and country and rap songs do not age well. Do people think back to 2011 and not realize Beys 4 was the most timeless even though it was the "flop" ? Nobody's listening Born this Way or Femme Fatale but Love on Top will last a lifetime . Whitney is the one who made iWALY timeless not Dolly. Bey will be back to make another 4 but better. I hope she does go back to her mission of finding a way to put R&B back on the radio and making it the biggest market on Billboard like she did with Destiny's Child when they tried to make bubblegum pop the big one but I appreciate CC for the conceptually great album it is. However, Renaissance is musically superior even though songwriting/lyrically CC kills Renaissance . I think Ive decided . Edited July 8 by Nippy'sReceipts 3 3

Could've released the song April/May 2023, visualizer, merch, a remix with Aubrey before he fell off, some tour naps & outfit vids using heated as the audio- BOOM! The song is infectious on its own, a lil pushed would've did wonders, cementing RENI with 2 #1 singles with no videos! Edited July 9 by TizTiz 3
Starshine Posted July 9 Posted July 9 Not the tree missing my bedroom window and fences blown over. I have suspicion Roc Nation might be behind this. These mfs I swear they tried to kill, your famous your favorite *****! I do not have power so therefore a very deserved -1 stream for Bodyguard on Spotify. 2

Gangnam Style gets lots of streams too. Streaming stats have nothing to do with a classic. Classic is something sung at award shows, talent shows, at weddings, graduations, cookouts and it's a song that will last 10-20+ years from now when streaming is no longer here 1
