SWEET HONEY BUCKIIN is a masterpiece and an album highlight to me for that very reason, whereas if they were individually separated into three songs I don't know if it'd feel quite as masterful even with slick transitions. And the SWEET and the BUCKIIN' sections, though different, are also a lot alike and having two songs that similar on the album don't make as much sense imo than blending them into something bigger than either could be alone. If you don't like it, I get it, but I think maybe your dislike of that technique is inflating the amount you think she's being doing. Only 1 of 27 tracks on CC does that. 1 of 16 for RENAISSANCE. Added together that's like 96% that use a standard structure. And zero have been made singles. anyone : "I'm not really a fan of-" swissman: WELL ACTUALLY- 8

Perhaps that would have never been the plan, and Gaga would just want a solo show but it definitely felt like a tease the way she introduced the song that night. Edited September 27 by swissman 2
Calypso Posted September 27 Posted September 27 I love tyrant into sweet honey buckin. My only gripe is that buckin' is one stanza too long. 1

swissman Posted September 27 Posted September 27 I sometimes wonder if YA-YA cuts off so abruptly because without doing so, OH, LOUISIANA wouldn't then have her voice on it and thus would be considered more of an interlude than an actual song? I duno lol but that's the only way I can conceive of it. OR they just were so busy listening to everything in sequence at the end that they didn't randomize and ensure the ends worked alone too? BUT ANYWAY that transition is so good, I love OH, LOUISIANA and now that I've typed this I realize it's the only song (interludes not included) with an "i" in it that doesn't double it so maybe it is an interlude? confusing. anyway I hope she does perform OH, LOUISIANA at some point though in normal voice, she'd slay it. 2

Them collaborating came at a time when it was beneficial for both of them and Rodney Jerking along with Troy Carter and Vince Hubert set that up. It's a fun song but does nothing for her. Consider how they only had one day to shoot Telephone together and Beyonce was only able to shoot the dance scene twice. They had to use a stand in and body double for any reshoots. 1

Love "Oh, Louisiana" - really wish it was longer. I find it very sexy, my fave short song/interlude on the album. Prefer it to some of the songs tbh. 1 1

That's why Nicki is so lucky she got to do a video AND a live performance, like it was likely asked for by Jay to promote TIDAL. Alicia Keys - no live, scrapped filmed video (teased on Oprah) Shakira - no live despite many chances Megan Thee Stallion - no live, no video for a #1 single (did bring her to the RENAISSANCE tour if that counts) Mary J. Blige - no live, no video Gaga - no live despite many chances again Ed Sheeran got a live performance moment, but no video or promo for the actual single. Coldplay got a video shot in another country. I also feel like we should have way more moments like this from someone as influential as Bey. Edited September 27 by satellites.™ 1
Triton Posted September 27 Posted September 27 5 hours ago, ScorpiosGroove said: Speaking of… i'm kinda over her beloved "3 different songs stitched together" song structure. I loved it for years but it's kinda stale after over a decade, i need more regularly structured songs or at least less of the other ones. Her best songs (and most successful ones) follow more classical structures for a reason. At least yoncé/partition or ghost/haunted can be separated and work as their own songs, but you can't really do that for SHB or P/H… there's no reason that Pure or Sweet aren't complete songs but Church Girl is I also need actual bridges from her again, but it seems 90% of the girls ditched them I don't mind them for the "trilogy" but it would be nice to get a full version of them. I assume she will have another one in last act with a Honey section. It would be a gag if at the end she can combine all 3 "Honeys" into one song. 1
Anvarie Posted September 27 Posted September 27 I don't even get Louisiana. is that her voice? A sample? A random black country artist she's featuring? What's the point? Definitely could've been left off the tracklist 1
