Starshine Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 I can't believe its been 4 years since we've seen her ass on tour The Renaissance Tour is going to be a bloodbath, I just hope I get to experience the BeyHive pit.

Also the curtains are actually telling - it definitely gave “stage” in those British Vogue photos. How does it explain the no video? Where is this play going to appear? Two weeks out and no announcement? Idk

Cant imagine what the album will do. perhaps if the music video was available, people would go there to listen to the song more and her streams would be less. Thinking of the positive now i guess...lol Yeah she gained 12 million since BMS. She has more than Adele now

Mitsouko Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 I didn’t know she was called a giraffe until I came here and I think it’s the funniest thing. I love giraffes n

I was on vacation but am back lol. Well, having not caught up yet on the antics of this thread but for this first notification, I imagine it goes something like this: no music video out no new news "what is she doing?" "parkwood doesn't know what they are doing" "Yvette needs to personally drop the video" "the song is dropping and therefore all is lost" "beyoncé hates us" "beyoncé is out of touch with the current industry" "we are unable to cope" WELL, to this I say....let's just wait lol.... I think it's possible that she's withholding the video at this point to drop it with the album or the week before release. I personally wouldn't put too much expectation for the video (or promo) to come out before release week so don't get your hopes up. If she does, then great, it's a surprise and a release but though Beyoncé is not doing things "right" insofar as perfetly maximizing the greatest chance of commercial success for the song, I still believe she knows what she's doing relative to her own goals, and she truthfully has never flubbed a (solo) release yet. She for sure has magic left for us and even if it's just a full album release, no visuals, that in itself is an interesting move that allows her further promotion of the era as time goes on.
Mr. Specialist Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) Because the Break My Soul video isn’t out yet, I’m starting to believe the rumors of it being her “Thriller” and it being a 10+ minute long video to be true. I wonder if she’s going to do some type of special tv premiere for it and then upload the video afterwards on YouTube. I could just be delusional. Edited July 11, 2022 by Mr. Specialist

Triton Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 This ***** better come out on a horse for the tour opening.

satellites.™ Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Im disappointed that I didnt clock the typewriter font, back when I CARED enough to deep dive I would've clocked that so fast. A play could certainly be exciting, im interested in the plan and layout of it though. A musical play in place of the tour could be cool, its still a tour obvi. I can see her doing a disco too so its all kind of exciting, I just want more info. Between her working on Lion King and loving Dear Evan Hansen, I can see sis taking some inspiration.

ShouldersSideways Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 A horse will be the through-line that ties together all three acts and/or albums. Perhaps she'll even be the Greek Chorus singing the songs that narrate a young woman's life. (played by Zendaya, naturally)

swissman Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) Sorry but I don't see it being a "live action play"...I mean, it COULD be but the evidence is a bit weak imo. "act" / "three acts plays"... she could literally just be using the idea of theatre "acts" to mark the albums. in the same way that "era" is used for an album cycle doesn't literally mean what the word means but makes total sense because we know what it means and can use it as a descriptor. the typewriter font thing? well, that's NOT even a typewriter font. what was shared in that tiktok video was a completely different kind of typeface than the one she used lol. it's a monospaced font, which typewriters indeed use, but imo it's closer to early computer fonts (that imo call to mind the 1970s/1980s when computerized/electronic dance music started) than those on typewriters themselves which predominantly are serifs. here is a comparison: also, the idea that she had a curtain behind her in a picture meaning it's a play????? that's much, considering films often have/had curtains too, as well as it being a feature that is often in clubs/ballrooms as well.

mariposa Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 They were blasting BMS in Selfridges when I was there a few hours ago. It's too bad some of y'all would rather spend your days whining 24/7 and inhaling computer FUMES, when you could be outside touching grass and enjoying this WW smash with the rest of the public
swissman Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 also i don't see how the theme of "renaissance" as it relates to black dance music/genres means a play... i'd say an opera (which also has acts) is a better theory given that it's primarily song and visual movement BUT I certainly could be wrong. Beyoncé loves to surprise and do thinks she hasn't done before so it could be that.... I've always wanted her to have her own Purple Rain musical so maybe this is it...(i just don't see it being a LIVE play but rather a film in three acts).

I'm not sure anyone thinks its going to be a live action play. I think the idea is she's borrowing the structure of a play to tell a story or unroll the era. I think the TikTok was a major reach but the broad strokes are correct. I could see a film shot in the style of a play, with moving sets etc.

I guess I did confuse that tweet saying "live action play" as something the video was claiming but see now in reading back they said they were wrong in that...
*No Angel* Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 All I wanted was a simple video for a simple single. That's it. Parkwood always does the absolute most when it could all be so simple
