ALSO...

 

There's definitely future acts on the way. 

 

Anyone realize that Ryan Tedder is NOT on this list, but Raphael Saaqiq is? Variety mentioned them both. 

 

Furthermore, NOTHING about this tracklist gives Country at all. 

 

I really feel Queen is coming through with a themed project that will see each act spin into different sounds and holistically it alll ties into reclaiming Black genres:

 

* Act 1: House/Urban 

* Act 2: Country/R&B fusion

* Act 3 (?): Who knows?!

I heard that she’s going to release 3 albums indeed (one house/pop, one country and one R&B)

that would explain why some rumored acts aren’t listed on act I 

but we’ll see 

 

 

i was really hoping for my boys Disclosure  and Kaytra. I’m really hoping for official remixes :jonny: 

So tired of the chromatica comparisons on this site :angel: Next week can’t some soon enough. Perched  :gayoncecat1:

Both the GP and the fanbase said NO to EIL and TG. Can we already settle this? Their overall poor reception can't be denied, and I'm not necessarily alluding to their sales. They didn't live up to the hype. Simple as that. Period. 

 

Summer and Already are excellent songs, but I couldn't care any less about those projects. They can't be even remotely comparable to Lemonade, ST or 4. It's time to move on :skull:

 

Having said that, I totally love BMS, and we're one week away from the entire piece of art :duca:

Okay, so we haven’t got a video and I think we’ve all adjusted our expectations that’s it not coming until 7/29.

 

Can we be getting an album/Visual trailer tomorrow?

Again even if she leaves a rap verse of his, he physically probably never went in that studio. She just left his verse off the demo, there was that debate with the Migos song too i'm sure since there were two full verses in there that they took out because Jay Z was featured on the song and had his verses instead but it doesn't really matter, it's the same outcome. She took a full demo and reworked it her own way, that still doesn't mean she ''worked'' with Drake on the song, which is probably why Drake felt salty about it to begin with! They worked together once so he probably thought why couldn't she just call me for the song? lol Anyway i'm thinking too much about it maybe but something just bothers me about this guy lol. 

 

Speaking of rap verses though, Jay Z aka S Carter is definitely credited on America we have a problem, i mean of course he is lol! I wonder if he has a verse on that song or he just wrote on it like he did on BMS which means there is a rap verse written by him on the song anyway! That song is either going to be real political and anger some or be the opposite to play with some folks.

Drake is not salty, what is this fan fiction!?

 

This is all conjecture

When country was originally mentioned for whatever reason I imagined an interpolation between something Electronic and accoustic. This example isn't country per say but its just an example of something i can imagine Bey doing in future acts. Orchestral, electronic, pop, indie, Country, RnB incorporated into another act.

Less dance floor filler and more intimate & instrospective but still a range of tempos

To be fair TG wasn’t really explained properly, people were confused on if I was lion king album or Beyoncé. I felt like there could have been more of a distinction. And EIL was rushed, they literally dropped a new song after the tour started and then an album in the middle of it all. 
 

Outside of Black is King, I don’t think those two eras were handled well. Plus the world ain’t ready for Afrobeats. It took awhile for reggaeton artists to hit mainstream.

She should've release this during the release week of BMS :jonny3:

It’s giving 90’s throwback Maxi-Single.

 

Sis should have put a couple of remixes on there.

The way Beyoncé is literally saving my life rn with RENAISSANCE. Can’t even look beyond that right now. She has given me something to live for and hopefully I’ll be feeling better about life after listening to it. 

 

Her power.

Maybe she’s going to release a new video every week to give the album some sustainability

The impudence jumped out! I know you didn't just shun and ultimately disrespect "My Power" (best song/visual of 2020's thus far) and "Bigger" (soul meets opera with a contemporary flair).

Sorry but going to have to disagree to the absolute max with TG.

 

Granted stans generally do go overboard with excitement when any new project drops ("this is xyz's best album ever"), I really watched and damn near studied the response before, during, and after TG especially.

 

The girls were gagged! Swearing up and down that x song was Bey's next big smash and how x song should be the follow-up. Etc. This is both on forums like this and social media. The girls were hyped and I saw it with my own eyes. 

 

The tone totally changed when those first week numbers come in. Bey's brand is not associated with failure, so there legitimately was a switch up with the stans. It then became about "what went wrong" and defending against drags from other stan bases. The project, as a result, went from generating optimistic excitement to leaving a bad taste in the mouths of fans who were wanting to press fast forward to her next success. Much like she did with the lack of promo, it was a case of "let's forget about that...quickly" tea. 

 

Still, it has no bearing on whether the music was good. Her doubling back with BIK was bittersweet because I was elated she stuck to her convictions of how good the music was and gave us the best full length visual she's released to date. At the same time, the year gap and platform kinda saw it fly under the radar. Not the quality of the music.

 

Sure we all have opinions and don't have to like anything, but I can't UNSEE all the gagging the girls did when they first heard TG. You can even check the threads here (if we still have em). 

 

It'd be one thing if Bey was still giving sugar Pop and made this sharp pivot into Afrobeats. That would be polarizing. But she'd been on the same vibey, mellow, Black power flex heading into TG (with ST and Lemonade) and actually drove in a more commercial direction with TG. Already, Water, My Power, Brown Skin Girl, and Find Your Way Back are ALL more commercial, universal, and dare I say flat out better than most of Lemonade (which we all cheer for because a) it was good and b) did well).

"IM THAT GIRL" as the albums opener is giving me "You ready"-vibes from Crazy in Love and I'm SOOOO ready for that experience :jonny6:

Predictions getting better and better.

The marketing is so horrendous that the team is oblivious to the vocal dissections of her instrument across the digital landscape. Hello! Capitalize on the route to virality. Parkwood's Twitter page could be more aesthetically pleasing. Collectively, we all can run her business at such a higher degree authority ...I'm praying that I'll be proven erroneous when the rollout officially commences

 

BMS can easily reach #1! The resources needed to push the song to take a hike  and successfully climb up that peak and stay perched there are laid out right in front of her face!

This has been my main frustration with them this era. CAPITALIZE on the moment. :deadbanana:
 

However I’m finally starting to come around to the fact that she really may want to release it all at once. As much as I am not a fan of that approach, it is what it is.

I hope this is her deliberate attempt to give off the illusion she is trying, when in fact, BMS is just a buzz, dummy test and appetizer leading up to grandiose marketing efforts 

if she wants a lukewarm era so bad then she’ll get a lukewarm era. I can’t be bothered with feeling frustrated anymore and just accepting whatever bs promo schedule they have. :celestial:
