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.
monologueNacafe Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 She's really trying it with this no visuals approach...
GreatestLoveofAll Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 Sitting with the album for like two weeks now, I can very much say this is top five among all her projects. Shii, I think it might be top 3 in terms of overall quality behind 4 and Lemonade. She's grown so much and shown such intergrity and reaped the benefits of her hard work with this and it is just so amazing to see and stands as a win for not only her, but the house legends and pioneers and black women that were never given the chance to stay on track and even repeak in some ways this far into their career. I think my top five as of now are Break My Soul Church Girl Virgo's Groove Cuff It Alien Superstar
HeavyMetalAura Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 The way I thought Heated was basic on the first few listens and now it’s undoubtedly my fave song on the album The vocals, the hook, the slur-free outro (we really need more Rapyonce)…. It’s all brilliant.
ShouldersSideways Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 Cozy really is a trans anthem that's also universal... the talent She's a god, she's a hero She survived all she been through Confident, damn, she lethal Might I suggest you don't **** with my sis 'Cause she comfortable So cozy, I love me They hate me because they want me Add in the fact its produced by Honey and features a TS Madison spoken word

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 the move-heated-thique(autocorrect just changed “thique” to unique)section. anyway I really like that section especially heat!

Shelter Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 Alien Superstar 21 million on Spotify it’s doing well for an album track.

It feels a little too weird for radio so I wonder if it’ll just remain a TikTok/Instagram Reels thing that translates to more streams? This is a terrific album but maybe the one with the least obvious single choices. With more repeated listens, I can understand why BREAK MY SOUL was the 1st single. It’s easily one of the songs on the album with the broadest appeal, not only for its catchiness and familiar production but for what it conveys lyrically and thematically.

Lose My Breath Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 BEFORE YALL YELL AT ME: I haven’t followed sales since Lemonade, I didn’t realize drops were so big now. Damn, times have changed
humbz Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 soooo glad I went with the deluxe vinyl. the box looks so cheap (even the print on the tshirt) and the cd is useless at this point.
simon Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) I got the vinyl and boxset! I will say that in person, I actually prefer the standard more than the deluxe! She made the right decision! Cant wait for the standard vinyl to arrive! Edited August 9, 2022 by simon
Yves Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 Just dropping by to say that I really enjoyed this album and that I think this is her best effort so far. Nobody asked for it but my top 3 would be Alien Superstar, America Has a Problem, and Break My Soul/Cuff It. The only duds, in my opinion, are I'm That Girl and Plastic Off the Sofa.
