Yes, cause it will bomb and Bey and the hive will pretend it doesn't exist like her previous releases 

You're in for a rude awakening baby

It is called « Renaissance » ? 

I despise the marketing and God-like image she wants to sell and that name definitely isn’t helping.

 

Happy for her fans though, it’s been a long time

As a Francophone I'd expect you to know what that term entails.

Act I - Beyonce, Renaissance 

Act II - Jay Z, Baroque 

Act III - OTR III

Act IV - Everything 4 Love

The outright suffering OBH is about to to endure  “b-b-bUT hEr fLop SiDe pRojEctS” is all they ever had, conveniently forgetting about her eventful solo projects. The fact that Apple Music is promoting it on their homepage/Instagram 1 month prior is already very telling tbh.

 

OT: Part 2 could be a visual or a stripped down version of the original (part 1) similar to the way Alicia Keys recently released her last album. It could mean a lot of things, but  it’s highly unlikely that Beyoncé will just scrap it and expect people to forget and move on if it were to underperform. She’s clearly invested and rolling this out very strategically. The marketing on this is brilliant. 

I think Act I will be a 10-12 track album followed by another 10-12 track Act II released 2 months after the first one. This should give the era legs. And this could become the start of a new trend (the way ST changed release day) 

I see it like a Folklore + Evermore situation. 

Act I might be the main focus, and Act II should be the continuation that will boost her Grammy chances. 

 

I'm pretty sure she will have brand new music for Act II, though, and it won't just be a deluxe. She's been working on it for years. 

 

Nah her 20th anniversary is coming shell probably release it then

This is what I thought. Next time might be less stacked without Adele/Kendrick but I can't even imagine what else could come from the likes of Taylor etc before 2024.  I hope Bey can snatch an AOTY this time somewhere

Do we have some examples? 

George Michael's Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1. But Vol. 2 was scrapped due to the dispute between him and his label.
