Monsters got too cocky too early and it backfired. That is totally not the same as Beyoncé. She’s been here for 25 years. We know what she’s capable of. Expand This! They are at vastly different places in their career. The comparison is silly and we only hold Bey to her own standard and work.

I hope there are original beats on the record.It’s ironic that ppl are cynical about her crediting history when she makes sure everyone and their mama is credited on her songs. Expand I do too. However Kanye/rappers sample a lot and no one complains.
Pandora Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 the image and sound she's going for this time round is a dream come true tbh.

Expand A sample could be a snippet before or after the song starts, or not include the beat of the song at all, just lyrics. It doesn’t really tell us much other than elements of that song were used

I'm interested in listening to all these samples and I hope she has some that are to the level of Replay.

Really not sure why Chromatica is being brought up when even most LMs admit that it’s not a very good album

Really not sure why Chromatica is even being brought up when even LMs admit that it’s not a very good album Expand It wasn't even meant to be a drag I really like Beyonce, have preordered the vinyl and am really excited about the release next week. My only point was that there are ways to do samples that aren't direct copies of songs like a lot of people seemingly are afraid of happening. I'm sure Beyonce's album is going to have a lot of smart sampling and I just thought Replay was a good example of this recently. And IDK who told you Chromatica isn't a good album, as a LM it's one of my favorite Gaga albums. Some people just value chart performance over quality I guess
Bey Admired Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 Anyway, if BMS is anything to go by, the samples will be barely noticeable. The Show Me Love sample on BMS is ridiculously subtle and unnoticeable. Bey could have gotten away with not even giving credit for that sample.

Like, we don’t need to reference Chromatica when we can simply reference Bey’s other work in which she has extensively sampled in a smart and subtle way Again, I do not understand why Chromatica is a subject of discussion here. If Renaissance is anywhere near the quality of Chromatica, I will drag her myself and that’s a promise
