single Beyoncé - "BREAK MY SOUL"

[Marco_g2]

I dont care for the cripple fight going on in here so ot:

 

I very much like house music and this is just mid-tier. Its not bad but not outstanding for the genre.

Bey always has polarizing lead singles…

Deja Vu was hated back in 06’ and B’day is my favorite album by her and now it’s a fan favorite song 

 

This song is ahead of it’s time and will be loved after a while

ATRL hated Formation too so really who cares

Is this the single cover? 

Yes and it slays

The current reception on ATRL is gagging me

Ya’ll don’t wanna dance to a lighthearted gay club banger?

[Great808]

This is what she thought she was doing. This is House music served RIGHT

[What_A_Mess]

I love it. Excited for the album. I hope she win Best album at the Grammys with this.

[Testosterone]

If Beyoncé had released this anytime between 2008 - 2012 I would’ve lost my mind, but in 2022 this just isn’t it 

[anti-bitch]

I like the beat! I hope the video is a gay slay full of queens 

[allforyou]

The first 2 minutes are kind of underwhelming but after that it picks up. I'm not gonna lie I'm a little bit disappointed, it's a good song but it just isn't lead single material. I still have hopes that the album is amazing though.

Apologies if this came across wrong. I should refrain from posting first thing in the morning! I personally know people who have 'co-written' with Beyonce when in actuality they have written the entire song(s) - they are required to give up 50% of publishing in order for it appear to consumers that Beyonce is a writer on her tracks. I think she's an incredible performer, dancer, vocalist and entertainer - but the substance of her artistry often comes from external sources which I don't think is acknowledged enough. She has lots of bops, though! 

Not only is this categorically false, it also has absolutely nothing to do with feminism. I think it's wild that people like yourself just come online to post lies and pretend you're doing something. Now is not the time.

I keep seeing this visual in my head when I listen to the song.

 

 

I hope this is the aesthetic the video will serve.

Wow this pic I love it she looks like a legendary pokemon (in a good way)

 

[Totami Legend]

I wish It went harder on the chorus, nothing that a Charli xcx hasn't already released on her album tbh 

[thismoment]

it’s a grower 

[Hurem]

It doesn’t feel like a lead material, but I love the song. It’s giving me RuPaul vibes

Hey - I'm not posting lies! I've worked in the music industry for 10+ years and know several people who have worked with Beyonce. It's not uncommon in the major label system for priority artists to demand writing credit on songs they had no hand in writing in order to increase their revenue streams. It's a big issue in the song writing community, as it is perceived by many to be exploitative. I retract my foolish comment about feminism, as you're right - not relevant to this conversation. One thing I am not is a liar though. 

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

This is ******* incredible.

 

[Cutthroat]

As somebody who isn’t a big Beyoncé fan and had zero excitement for new material, I like this song a lot. A bop indeed! 

[Nico Robin]

It‘s great, I can see it growing on me even more. I‘m more excited for the album tho, the gems will be there

ANY SONG released by a MPG has better production. Anything by Katy, Gaga, Dua, whoever... This is honestly my main issue with the song. How TERRIBLE the production is. It's serving demo; it's serving b-side; it's serving outtake. I cannot believe Beyoncé released something so low in quality.

 

You have been going through IT.  RELEASE YOUR ANGER

[skankle]

I do wish she went just a little harder but it bops anyway. She fits the house diva role like a glove.

[KingB®]

yay

[Both Sides Now]

Listened to it a few times and not very excited by it. It doesn’t really take off. I may switch in the context of the whole album

It's already 7pm here I'll miss the mess when America is up properly

This happened with Gwen Stefani on her 2015 scrapped album. She even said in an interview she recorded “Heart Wants What It Wants” and another artist (Selena) wanted it. So the writers took it back and gave it to Selena instead because she was a bigger artist.
 

These writing camps are giving the hits to the current chart topping girls. Not someone who’s been out of the game for 6 years. 

yeah and thats where i think artists who write their own music have the upper hand.

EDIT: Oh I just saw that it is! I wish they’d updated it on streaming platforms so we can see it, otherwise what’s the point of the artwork.

 

The Robin S. pose. 

[Truth Teller]

This is the result of 2 (past-their-prime) r&b writers (The-Dream, Tricky Stewart) and an r&b performer trying to make a house record. It doesn't sound natural. Not that r&b and the 90's club music she's going for don't share any connection, but it's very indirect. She should have worked with people who actually make house.
