Hmm. I think you might be right. I can't lie, that's a smart way to at least get one top 10 debut on the Hot 100 album release week alongside Break My Soul. Intriguing!

I'm hoping so. Researching writing credits, and figuring out the path from demo or writing camp to final product is one of my fave parts of the modern music industry.  

 

It's amazing to see someone so fearless about their evolving sound that they're willing to collaborate with hordes of writers from multiple genres. No two Beyoncé albums sound the same.

Thank you!

RENAISSANCE is sounding like a mix of all of her albums.

We have key players from IASF, 4, BEYONCÉ, Lemonade, and The Gift so far.

 

Just waiting for DIL & B'Day.

Wont be surprised for miss beyonce to have 100+ songwriters

I’m hoping the album is still gay. These are a lot of hip hop and rnb producers

Well The-Dream and Tricky Stewart co-produced one of the gayest mainstream hits of the year w/ BREAK MY SOUL so I don’t think that could have an effect on the vibe of the record tbh lol.

So far?

- The-Dream* (6 Inch, XO, Yonce/Partition, Blow, Flawless)

- Ryan Tedder (XO)

 

Possibilities? 

- Hit-Boy (***Flawless, XO, Jealous, Sorry, Ring Off)

- Melo-X* (Hold-Up, Sorry)

- B00TS (6 Inch, Haunted, Jealous, Heaven, Blue)

- Derek Dixie* (Ring Off, Don't Hurt Yourself, 6 Inch, Daddy Lessons)

 

*Also appeared on The Gift and/or Everything Is Love

Credits are out

Credits are out 

 

Over the moon!

Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers, James Brown, Skrillex, DIXSON, SYD, Hit-Boy, Honey Dijon, Rami Yacoub, Elbernita Clark, Pharrell, Chad Hugo, Sabrina Claudio, NoI.D., Ari PenSmith/P2J, and Raphael Saadiq are the names that stand out, but I'm sure some producers will surprise us.

 

Hmm... Did Ryan Tedder only produce (Like "I Was Here")? Very strange to not see him in the writing credits. Maybe he's on Act II? 

 

High-key sad that B00TS didn't return. The former was a breath of fresh air. I guess his sound is a little dark... but c'est la vie.

I mean, would B00TS be back considering his rants on Twitter? Doesn’t seem like he’s up to much musically nowadays either sadly.

It looks like Ryan Tedder is the only possibility that didn't come to fruition. Maybe Act II?
