I'm still just playing the full album. I have my fave tracks like everyone else but the entire album is just so good that I haven't been replaying or skipping anything.

! Same here. I can't skip songs. 

Not even Cuff It.

  • It was the best concert of my life, bar none. Idc!    It was extraordinary, it was ineffable.  I knew I loved it based on the videos but I... Hey I don't know.    Best moment

    I know this award is a joke but the point is, she has cemented herself in history with the likes of Whitney and Lauryn. And on top of that she won an award for a genre that completely ridiculed and ex

The physical copies of the album have act i written all over them. She wouldn’t she do that and make acts ii and iii a tour and a visual, it makes no sense 

Right. What’s the point of making the album act I, the visual act II, and the tour act III.

 

lmao, does not every single era by every single artist have that storyline? Album, Visual, Tour? Why bother create mystery for something so many artist do and have done and will continue to do.

 

While 3 full albums sounds crazy. Please keep in mind Beyoncé has always recorded 30 - 80 songs in preparation for an album. Maybe the ***** is just that good at the ish now where she understands the process well enough to pull in the right writers and producers in the perfect circumstances, and also just might really be at her creative peak where she is in her zone and making a great song is just easy to do. She literally had nothing else to do at least for a good 16 - 18 months during the pandemic.

I think theres also a sense of excitement coming from Bey when talking about these projects that we havent seen in a while.

 

I can totally see her finding so so much joy recording plenty different Country/Rock songs and just playing with that genre. No one says we are going to get the full package for all projects, but her recording and releasing 3 albums is nothing I would put past her. U can hear and feel her joy all through Renaissance, im 100% convinced we get 2 more albums.

What we really have to discuss is: How is her voice the best its ever been after 25 years in the industry and after having 3 kids?

Make it make sense. It must be the creole Voodoo

3 albums doesn’t sound crazy to me. 
 

especially since bey doesn’t miss and some of her best albums (TWOTW, Bday & Destiny Fulfilled) were recorded in mere weeks. 
 

Sincerely hope each act has 16 songs.

Not at all :deadbanana: I would DIE for a country and rock album or whatever else she would release! I just think it seems a little unrealistic considering the sheer volume of music. Hope I'm wrong!

!!!

 

I would love to see a rock influenced album. :duca:

Im not even sure because that last minute in Virgos Heaven is sth that only aliens are able to pull off

The way these 3 acts will manifest Bey as one of the most talented VOCALISTS of all time (in popular music). Like there will be no denying anymore (for those still questioning her vocal chops)

Whitneys, Celines and Mariahs Throne isn't safe anymore and Miss Aretha can also start worrying

R&B Performance - Virgo’s Grove

Best Traditional R&B Performance - Plastic

Best R&B Song - Plastic


now hypothetically, I think she could clean up the R &B album categories, particularly progressive, but do ya’ll see the academy considering the album as a whole R & B?

 

Best Pop Solo Performance - Break My Soul

Best Pop Vocal Album - Renaissance 

Best Dance/Electronic Recording - Renaissance 

 

Album of the year - Renaissance 

Record of the Year - Break My Soul

Song of the Year- Break My soul

I was confident I would like Renaissance and I was served

 

Whatever she is planning to do with the other 2 acts, I'm confident they'll be good but I hope the excitement from everyone remains stable throughout

I figure she could get up to 12 nominations. And it would be deserved.

 

Grammy’s are some punk ******* and we can do without them, but hey - not gonna be nonchalant about it if the noms are lit!

Acts 2 and 3 will have 12 songs each to celebrate her making these albums in her 40s wbk.

 

16 + 12 + 12 = 40

Agreed. However the from a vocal standpoint, PLASTIC literally grabs you by the throat the moment she utters the first note all the way to the end.

She should release Act 2 end of November so that her sales for act 1 and act 2 surge around Christmas

I've seen the light, it's three albums but they are all forming one big story with visuals out on Netflix next year

i dont think it was a visuals teaser. it looked like photoshoot bts 

well i did admit it's not exactly a teaser, but something that wets the palate for what's to come.

 

but you don't think the horse/cover will feature at all in the visual album?

The way some of u need to see a clinic.

 

First the PTSDs from not expecting too much from Bey because yall are afraid to dream big. Its going to be 3 albums, trust and believe. Abundance of music is NOT 16 songs, its 50.

 

Second, Plastic Off The Sofa is THE R&B song on the album, already being on top of R&B playlists. It will be THE vocal standout on the tour and Bey is going to make it "1+1"-type of grandiose. Its going to be a MOMENT. And let me tell u something - Its going to win her a Grammy, trust and believe.

 

Third, yall are doing SR wrong. The fact it had 1.3 mio streams yesterday despite being the last song shows people are also into it. 

 

Anyway, Cuff It is more instant, but tbh its not the song that is going to age best. There are more intricate songs on the album.

Cuff It is timeless...it will never age...that funky R&B disco sound will always be a winner

 

But I agree about the SR hate...that song has just as much wide appeal as Cuff It. 

The way Renaissance will definitely get a second wind with the release of the visuals..

And then a third wind when act 2 gets released
