Its so weird we dont have any music videos for a Beyonce release.  . . 

 

Also apart from BMS which is the obvious lead single , it looks like she is throwing songs here and there ( Summer on pop radio , Cuff it on TTH etc ) and if smth becomes hit organically then good 

 

Im not even sure if we will get another proper single , maybe she will release Act 2 before Xmas ? and Act 3 before next Summer ???

 

And what about the tour? 

Are we getting one ? 

And is she gonna perform all 3 acts ? And from the old ones? 2-3 mash ups ?? 

 

Its kind of confusing 

I think the music and the roll-out were meant to be experimental. it might not make sense because it doesn't and they're just trying some things! especially after the pandemic when everyone has changed their consumption behavior.

 

throw a song or two to different radio formats? why not! does her target audience even listen to radio anymore? maybe not! I think that's why they're just doing random things - just to see what the audience is looking like right now

Cuff it for the 2nd single please. It feels the most obvious. 

[McNulty]

I finally had time to listen to the album today, it's really amazing. Beyonce has been reinventing herself creatively with every album lately.

 

Some points I wanna say:

- the transition between songs are great specially Cuff it-Energy-BMS

-  I liked how she used BMS more in the album, it made me like the song mpre

- Church Girl sounds so much like Get Me Bodied and has B'Day vibes

- Thique is my least favorite song so far and I usually skip the Move-Heated-Thique section, it feels dull to me but maybe it will grow on me eventually

- All Up In Your Mind is one of my favorite songs but it drives me crazy how the song at the end reach its climax production-wise but ends without a payoff

- My favorite songs so far are Cuff It, AUIYM, AHAP, POTS, Virgo's Groove and Summer Renaissance

- The criticism around the number of writers on Alien Superstar is weird considering Kanye last year released Hurricane which also had 24 writing credits but people praised it and didn't mention the number of writers while discussing it. It's double standard. I don't care about the number of people who worked on an album/song If it means the music is good. You can clown on them if the music sounds like sh*t with all these people working on it

I love many songs on this album ( summer Renaissance, cuff it , energy  . . .  ) but 

Alien Superstar is THAT ***** 

[Rev8]

Is it me or is someone else singing at one part on Thique?

sounds like Tinashe type of vocal, but deffo too thin to be Bey?

[Post Malone]

It’s Bey. I think they just pitched her voice up for like a high spacey effect

Idk if you was just saying it just to say it -

 

But Kelis is not on it. Beyoncé said “la la la la” in a way similar to Kelis’ “Milkshake” (not even exactly) and she was nice enough to give credit (when tbh no one would have noticed)

 

That is why Kelis’ rant was unnecessary 

Honestly cannot tell who it was but there are a lot of people who think it sounds like Kelis. Regardless, I miss that little bit and I'm glad I have the version where it's still in.

Yeah, sounds like a young Bey so pitched up likely. 

[Alejandrawrrr]

I figured she was just using a very nasal vocal placement on that part, too get that high/girlish sound. But yeah could've been pitched too

Cuff It and Alien are the obvious 2nd/3rd, they both already got nice positions WW even if they don't reach any higher (as it will be a while until BMS is done)  

[PopMusicJunkie]

Sonically, lyrically, and conceptually — it’s all a triumph. 

 

I’m hearing something unique with each listen.

I'd be here for it. 

 

However, I'd prefer she approach any such VMA appearance like Rihanna's Vanguard performance. 

 

4 huge performances sprinkled throughout the night. 

 

Her whole thing is not doing the same ol' over and over. Another long medley would kind of be "been there, done that" territory. They are also running out of "reasons" to hand her such long spots (e.g. Vanguard etc). That said, I could see "and a special presentation of Renaissance from Beyonce" type situation.

 

Like others, a big part of me does feel like Bey is way above the show at this point and having received its top honors already, there's no legacy benefit (especially on a year she's not nominated) being involved.

 

I also note that Bey only does these shows when they bend backwards to honor her (a rightful flex on her part). So, unless they pull that TriIcon ish they did for Gaga, I can't see her showing up JUST to perform.

Break My Soul/Alien Superstar/Cuff It 10 minute opening medley is what we need.

[justin.]

I literally cannot stop playing the album. She laced this entire thing with crack. I’m worried I’m going to overplay it. 

[JonginBey]

Baby come over

Come be alone with me tonight

All these emotions,

Its washing over me tonight

 

[SweetTalker]

America Has A Problem NEEDS to smash somehow because what is this BOP  it just clicked. The whole album is just growing on me nicely 

[Dark Miracles]

That delectable electric guitar riff on Heated is just ringing through my mind constantly, it’s kinda becoming my fave song on the album.

[Jude]

Have we agreed that this album is going in Progressive R&B yet or are people still thinking Pop

Yes. Hopefully they move on to the second single soon. Cuff it seems like it would be more in line with the rest of her smash singles, but Alien could be a welcomed fresh smash single that would resonate with the new kids. All it needs it an impactful video and the internet will go mad. I promise you that.
