LMAO THE ART BOOK

Opening act or no opening act?

If this is truly a CC tour, I'd be so happy if it were a truncated stadium residency tour in select cities.

 

Station in London, Paris, Sydney, NYC, Atlanta, LA, Houston, etc. for multiple nights each, then call it a wrap.  She can make her money and we can move on to the next act

The way everyone is losing it here 

 

Even though I don't have any hope for a performance and not much faith in them giving her the awards she deserves, I am looking forward to seeing her at the Grammys. 
 

If the rumours about the tour are true she will need to announce in the next 1-2 weeks latest, or it will get too close to the dates. 

Hopefully act iii is released right before the tour starts so she can tour both

or one (or more) of the Blackbird ladies 

God the way she truly lost her touch for waiting to announce a tour even some fans dont want for WHAT?  Thinking about it makes me angry tbh. What a waste of time.

she can keep the tour if it doesn't include act III

I hope so. Uplifting (other) Black country artists could be the best thing to come out of the CC era.

If it's the tour her team is surely looking at the couture shows to source her costumes…. I need someone from parkwood to contact Armani asap and get her a bodysuit made out of this snakeskin embroidery 

 

 

Reminder that she put "Act II: A film by Beyoncé" and a fake poster with the same title as a placeholder in AMC's website code to throw us off. So… Nothing to report here.  Whenever there is news, you will hear it directly from the source, first.

You are like that obese woman who is supposed to eat broccoli but she can't because she  finds them so horrible and then she cries

Just a reminder that CC was meant to be Act 1, not Act 2.

 

Otherwise I absolutely agree with what you've posted here.

I cant wait for Act3 to roll out cause the dissertations on the entire trilogy will be epic.

The fact that "the past and the future merge to meet us here" is the tag line of the project individually as well as holistically is the best part about it imho.

 

Both CC and Renaissance are projects that recapture Black genres and give them a new face and identity. On both projects, she heavily borrows from former sounds and songs and in their most obvious moments even directly samples older songs. However, she always manages to give the genres her own twist and fuse them with new sounds.

Both albums feature the same structure:

 

1.) Bombastic opening (Im That Girl + American Requiem)

2.) A couple of "classic" songs that fit the genre and depict the past in the beginning (I.e. Protector which is classic Country or Cozy which is classic House)

3.) A core song that samples a famous song from said genre (BMS which samples the iconic Show Me Love and Jolene)

4.) Iconic features with famous people from the genre, past and future (Skrillex, Diplo and Grace Jones on Rennie; Dolly, Post Malone and Miley on CC)

5.) Modern twist/fusion towards the end of the album depicting the future of those genres (Thique, AUIYM, Pure/Honey on Rennie ; Riverdance, 2H2H and SHB on CC)

6.) Closing statement to the album (Summer Renaissance on Rennie and Amen on CC)

 

Act 3 will certainly feature a similar progression, and if its truly Rock/HipHop, I guarantee its going to become the best album of the 2020s and potentially her magnus Opus cause Bey was MADE for that genre fusion. No one in the industry could make a fusion between Rock and HipHop work BUT Bey. 

Phew, I'm shaking imagining the sound  I wouldnt be mad if she wins 2 AOTY in a row! God knows she deserves!

 

That's not the tagline btw, thats a quote from the Lemonade film

I feel like she mentioned it in the context of Renaissance and/or CC as well somewhere

Update on the Levi's campaign… Their new Female CEO talking about Beyonce to WWD

 

Quote

 

The most visible part of that change to consumers might be Beyoncé in her Levi's and all over the place. 
 

Levi's linked with Beyoncé in September for a yearlong marketing blitz that started with the singer recreating one of the brand's famous TV spots. 

 

"Beyoncé is really probably the biggest global partnership we've ever had in our history," Gass said. "We're a few months in. We launched our first chapter of the campaign, which we call 'Reimagine.' Chapter two is soon to come. And we're very pleased. Results are encouraging. The Beyoncé effect is giving a lift to our business and contributed to our strong fourth-quarter results."

I miss her in Armani, it's a shame they didn't do a look for the Renaissance tour, they would have devoured it. Especially with the fabrics and embroidery, they always look so rich and expensive. 
 

For JPG, one of those corseted/caged suits made out of the crocodile leather they showed would fit in to the country theme easily. If it's a tour she's announcing I hope she goes all out with the costumes again. Ugh this weekend needs to hurry up, hopefully there is an interview with Vogue and she clears everything up. 

 

I think the cowboy carter haters in the hive dont quite realise just how insane a live tour could be if she mixes it properly with her past hits (see attached vids)

 

 

 

All this just for a tour is odd to me. We will see. I always knew she would be going on tour but that can't be only it?? Did Beyonce and her team lose touch?

Exactly! Its not necessarily the tour thats the problem per se, but the entire rollout of that. Its not beginning of 2014 anymore after ST where literally everybody Was curious what the next Beyonce move will look like. Its 2025 hun, you gotta give us more to excite us

Yes, once again not a CC hater.  While I'll admit it's rare I listen to the album all the way through, I frequently listen to songs on it.  The trilogy just feels a bit hollow, and with the hollowness it being stretched out over years has me wanting act iii and to see the grand finale, whatever that may be.
