From my understanding, the only genres Amazon Italy announced were Dance and Country. They never said anything about Rock, Funk or the influence of Rock & Roll. Ppl latched on to Rock AND Rock & Roll because the article mentioned a three act trilogy celebrating black musical arts and culture, including many samples. 
 

Even when pointed out she's used certain songs, specifically "They Say I'm Different", it's still specifically tied to a BTS video to promote her cover story and whiskey, which was still furthering the promotion and aesthetics of "COWBOY CARTER". Using Betty Davis for a Halloween costume, be it photographed a good while before Halloween, is still low hanging fruit. 
 

And one could argue her saying "it's time for America to sing a new song" is blatantly her playing on the nose since she is a singer/songwriter at a voters rally for the American election, lol. Like, it doesn't mean anything, it's just a corny line. If I were going to attach its relevancy to a song or album, it would easily be "AMERIICAN REQUIEM. 
 

 

Not to say a 'Beyoncé' rock album is not happening, but how can we take these few crumbs of nothing seriously? These aren't things she hasn't done during other eras. 

Well, she also did Prince and teased the new sound with her Instagram reels. All those crumbs don't point to act iii being rock by themselves, but they do when they're put together

There has definitely been some strong indications of a rock/blues inspired project though, since the very beginning when she announced new music in Vogue in 2022

 

The motorcycle pic in Vogue 2022

The grunge looks in CR Fashion Book

Her Betty Davis motorcycle look

Her multiple rock inspired looks on Instagram (remember her switch to her CC look with the platinum blonde?)

Her sending Tom Morello's mom a Rennie vinyl with a special note (he's a big deal in the Alt community and was the guitarist of Rage Against The Machine - and black - I assume she may have worked with him?)

Her sending Jack White a letter and flowers (did she work with him on ACT III?

The Betty Black tour

Her posting several blues tracks in her captions

Shoutouts to Prince, Tracy Chapman, Rosetta Tharp during her iheartradio speech as innovators

She worked with him on Lemonade, so that doesn't mean he'll be on act iii

 

But other points are valid, so this has to be a rock album

where's the ******* art book ?

I know she worked with him, but she sent him a letter after CC came out saying thank you - lemonade came out almost 10 years ago lol

 

EDIT:  She sent it after CC was out - not rennie

Idk how reliable they are… 

We lost 

These media outlets have been wrong before. Maybe it's 12 or 15 minutes. Either way I'm sure it will be just as great whatever the length.

Or they did the same hairtstyle over multiple days of shooting 

I couldn't visualize what the setlist would look like and I finally got a vision:

 

Opener: Ya Ya

Texas

Bodygaurd

Sweet Honey Buckin ft. Shaboozey

Closer: 16 Carriages

 

I can imagine edits of the songs that give the best parts and make for a high octane show.  I think she will add arrangements to 16 Carriages to make it a Halo moment like when she closed the Super Bowl. I think it's possible we will hear words from Spaghetti from Linda Martell, but I don't think she will perform it. I do think it's possible she uses the opening arrangements from American Requiem to open or close the show, or uses it as a transition.

Theres no World where she doesnt start with American Requiem. Its literally perfect as an opener - from the lyrics to the vocal display to the dramatics of the song.

• America Requiem (Short Version)
• 16 Carriages (Shortened)
• Texas Hold Em
• Ya Ya

I think it's most likely she will start with it, but I don't think she will perform as much of it as the others.

If it's only a 9 minute performance I want nothing but upbeat songs 

American Requiem

Ya Ya

Texas/A Bar Song w/Shaboozey

Bodyguard

Resume American Requiem and close
