Edited September 24, 20241 yr by QueenBeyoncé

I'm naturally interested to see what the Levi's thing is but she generally is so unserious.

 

There is literally nothing wrong with her doing it and in a way it's a welcome throwback to the time when her brand was "looser" and more mainstream in the things she would do/endorse.

 

However, much like her recent business ventures, dropping them while her fans are salivating for something else entirely is wild work. 

 

My argument will ever and always be that fans would be WAY more enthused to buy whatever she's selling in the AFRTERFLOW of giving them what they want. Very much a "have them raving about your killer video and your iconic tour and they'll RUSH to buy the stuff you're selling around it to soak in as much "Beyonce" as they can"

 

Doing it the way she's doing it feels backward and counterintuitive to being (as) successful with these ventures (as she could be) because we are way past the point of delayed gratification. I've seen a lot of stans who are resolute in their stance of "I'm not buying/supporting anything else until she gives me what I want: visuals...music...performances".

You have a point but at this point we have to seriously consider her overall vision with the acts trilogy and the associcated visuals. At some point after Renaissance she clearly changed plans and has a new strategy for if and how she wants to give us "visuals". 

 

Yes it is frustrating, often cuz all we want is some videos and singles while bey is always up to some grander visual album or film. And this time it seems we get nothing. But I am certain she is very ambitious and cares about her legacy as a visual artist - so her decisions are not made lightly. 

 

Projects like cecred and sir Davis have been 3-4-5+ years in the making. Their timelines are what they are. 

 

But I agree, it's been frustrating as fans who also love beyonce for her videos, visuals and performances. 

 

At the same time, I've long reached a point where I'm just enjoying things. I will truly say that I have appreciated the vocals and production of Renaissance and CC a lot more (thanks to no videos). It is what it is.

That makes sense but… most of the products she's promoting are not targeted to the fans. She herself said she didn't want her name attached to Cécred and Sir Davis from the very beginning. Tiffany's is a luxury brand. 

 

The perfume is targeted to fans and it came during the tour. The Verizon ad did come with music and is enjoyable even if you don't care about what's being promoted.

 

Levi's is the one which would've sold better after a tour announcement, but they're working on their own schedule.

We're kind sorta on the same page. 

 

As well as being a huge Bey fan, I am pretty obsessed with music industry and marketing. So, the intersectionality of stanning Bey and having those interests has long been a sweet spot for me. Primarily because she is such a textbook case of how to get it right. I'll always be fascinated with her brand, her pivots, her longevity, and the really careful nuance she applies to ensure she stays Queen. Nuance, I feel, tends to fly over most people's heads (including many stans).

 

I say that to say, I actually tend to be moreso fascinated and intrigued by her shenanigans than frustrated by them. I also don't think she's even being "that" groundbreaking with her antics. In cementing herself as a luxe product, she very very (very!) clearly adheres to the model of "limit the supply, increase the demand". It's what we're seeing with the visuals. It WILL be another big Beyonce moment whenever it comes. Even if the music doesn't benefit as much as it could, it WILL another cornerstone of her career.

 

However...

 

From a purely business perspective, you get more out of the consumer when they are happy with the present product. It's really that simple. Taylor Swift's fans eat out of her palm because she is playing the momentum game. She's feeding them so much musically and dare I say stirred up a cult-like following that if she were to drop a makeup line or a milkshake lol...anything...her fans would make it the top-selling thing. Give the people what they want (or at least some semblance of it) and trust that they'll give you what you need...e.g. support for your extracurricular activities!

I'm not subscribed, but I have the digital copy from iTunes so I guess yes?

 

Or is dolby atmos only available in Apple music? I think I got a free 3 month trial from this 3rd party partner store I bought them from so let me activate it.

I mean I've looked into other options but god it is hard to find other brands that make good products that also focus on design, build quality and aesthetics. And not just in headsets but most other electronic stuff. The market is full of things that have all the cool specs on paper but come in some nasty looking plastics. 
 

Legit ordered and returned 3 external monitors last year until I finally gave in and just bought the damn studio display. Nothing else looked anywhere as good and felt as pleasurable to use. I wasn't gonna go through all that with the headphones again so just airpods max directly after some consideration.

And given the convenience of how well they work with all my other Apple devices I'm willing to sacrifice the marginal difference in sound quality. So these will stay for a while.

 

Playing Naughty Girl right now and it's never sounded better
