I've come to appreciate the I am side of IASF  so much lately. Satellites and That's why you're beautiful are so gorgeous and Romantic. I think I'm getting more mature. It's slowly becoming one of my favorite albums and I used to always rank it as the worst. I've just realized IASF was her first experimentation with genre and going outside the box of r&b. SF was placed to soften the blow and provide the expected  Beyonce  bops for the fans.

IASF era was everything and I used to be obsessed with disappear. She needs to bring halo and IIWAB back on tour.

It was such a change from Bday and maturation vocally. On Bday, she was being shaded  for screaming and belting so much (I remember that was a critique of Deja Vu, GMB, and Ring the Alarm),  and singing so high but she  sang tenderly and softly and still sounded angelic snd beautiful in IASF and also had the belts on the Etta James covers. Such a perfect era and maturation for her. I feel the general public finally recognized her talent during IASF. DIL was distracted by her arrival  as a sex symbol/it girl and relationship with Jay Z. B'day had mess about the Dreamgirls and other things like unnecessary Rihanna, Britney,  and Janet comparisons.  By IASF,  she rose above all the blogs, gained all the respectability, and was a married woman by then so the obsession over her and Jay and when they'd marry ended by then. This era was so perfect from start  to finish.

I don't believe the following theory, but I've seen some Hive speculate that 'Echoville' is actually the name of her own streaming platform that she's planning to launch, which will include all her content including music videos, documentaries, FWT, RWT, the acts visuals etc.

 

The people that say that are delusional and do nit realize how hard that would flop

Got gifted the Cowboy Carter vinyl for Christmas and the booklet is absolutely gorgeous. I love her artistic vision and her commitment so much 

It's what made me change my mind and want to get the art book. Which was then marked as sold out, even though it's on pre order and delayed.

Personally, I never understood the dislike for IASF, were there a few mishaps and songs that should not have been included, yes, but overall this was pop perfection to me. And I agree that this era was also when she truly started to experiment with genres and showed a different side to her. I remember listening to Ave Maria and someone walked by and was like who's that singing?? And were impressed and I just thought it was a simple song, but the GP really ate it up and it was nice to see so many people appreciate and respect who she was as an artist. Also, her touring power really grew around this time.

EOT would have been the first single off of 4.  But like everyone else I've come to appreciate RTW.

Those two songs are exquisite.

 

Interestingly enough, not only was TWYB a showcase of her versatility, as it represented her first ever Folk endeavor, but it was also a preview of CC.

 

There would be no 16 Carriages or act ii altogether now, if it hadn't been for the I Am side 

Other than that, melodical Pop really suits Bey, and IASF is a proof of that.

Does miserablehive still hate Ashley and think she's a traitor, or do they love her again?

Oop I saw people fighting on twitter today over Amari vs Ashley.

What is the point, are y'all not tired?

Will 1/14 just be a Cowboy Carter documentary bout the show and some bts to fulfill her 3 part contract?

If Matthew was still involved, what would've been the Reni and CC singles?

None. Both projects probably wouldn't even exist under Matthew's management. 
 

He was really good with marketing Beyoncé the pop star, but not Beyoncé the artist. You can tell she had to fire him to grow both her career and her craft. 
 

For example, I don't think the surprise releases of Self Titled or Lemonade would have happened if he had a say since they go against what is tried and trued which you can tell was always Matthew's approach, even nowadays when he talks about how he developed and marketed Destiny's Child/Beyoncé's early career. He always puts commerce first and the music second.

TWYB also segues perfectly into 1+1.

I think Mathew would've been fine with Renaissance except for maybe the album cover. Mathews frame of reference is old school R&B and the Berry Gordy model of singles, singles, singles and a variety of  televised performances. For the 2000s era and times, Mathew was the perfect manager.  I do wish he stayed for 4 because that was ironically the most old school R&B album that would've benefited most from the above marketing. RTW Girls confused the audience as to the sonic direction

mathew would've chose one of the vinyl covers.
