Lovett Posted March 29 Posted March 29 4 minutes ago, Joaco95 said: "My process is that I typically have to experiment,” Beyoncé says. "I enjoy being open to have the freedom to get all aspects of things I love out and so I worked on many songs. I recorded probably 100 songs. Once that is done, I am able to put the puzzle together and realize the consistencies and the common themes, and then create a solid body of work.” The album is an experiment indeed. Each song is its own version of a reimagined Western film. She took inspiration from films like "Five Fingers For Marseilles,” "Urban Cowboy,” "The Hateful Eight, "Space Cowboys,” "The Harder They Fall" and "Killers of the Flower Moon,” often having the films playing on a screen during the recording process. Some aspects of the percussion were inspired by the 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?’ soundtrack, where it was more Bluegrass. "This album took over five years,” she says. "It's been really great to have the time and the grace to be able to take my time with it. I was initially going to put COWBOY CARTER out first, but with the pandemic, there was too much heaviness in the world. We wanted to dance. We deserved to dance. But I had to trust God's timing.” https://www.justjared.com/2024/03/29/beyonce-talks-cowboy-carter-album-in-press-release-new-details-inspiration-revealed/ Stevie Wonder is a musician on the album?!

Soda Pop Queen Posted March 29 Posted March 29 2 minutes ago, Park Jinyoung said: I'm a chronic full album listener idk what you guys are talking about I'm gonna be eating these interludes UP every time lol right? these kids got short attention spans because the interludes are not even long. I could see if they were random and had nothing to do with the album but that's not the case. idk, maybe I'm used to it as a Janet fan lol. 27 tracks clocking in at 1 hour and 19 minutes is not that long to me. It's longer than normal but not unbearable, especially with an album with as many twists and turns as CC. Keeps things interesting enough that you don't even feel the time moving. 2

Many people can get away with singing the original lyrics, but not Beyoncé's whose entire brand is about feminism and girl power. A lot of critics and even some GPs will drag her for it. The whole attention would have been too much distraction for the album. Most discourse and debates will focus on Jolene rather than the entire Cowboy Carter. So what she did is better, honestly. I don't understand your point - sorry? How would it have been problematic or anti-feminist?

abelfenty Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Another very strong album from Bey. It's no Renaissance but still very good. My top 5: 1. Bodyguard 2. Ya Ya 3. Tyrant 4. Alligator Tears 5. II Most Wanted 1
The7thStranger Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Just remembered that today is a holiday, and the stores are all closed. Now I have to wait until tomorrow.
Bey'Knight Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I guess I'm gonna be the last stan to listen to this album Reading y'alls comments has skyrocketed my expectations. I don't know if I'm being revisionist but I don't recall Ren's initial reaction being this effusive . I gather it's more akin to Lemonade than Ren in its genre-busting audaciousness These are the times I wish I still drove, sounds like a perfect album to bump with real speakers. At least that's an experience I can savour on my next trip home. I can't wait to experience and share my first reaction with yall.
bowdown Posted March 29 Posted March 29 on my second listen and American Requiem is SUCH a powerful opener omg 2

I'm sorry but the new lyrics are way more anti-feminist it will make the 'stay away from my man!’ girlies happy tho. But threatening a woman over your own disloyal man is… very 2000s let's just say that But being obsessed with her husband has been her brand for 20 years now so it makes sense for her That doesn't mean I'm not currently blasting it and singing along tho 5

TROPICUM Posted March 29 Posted March 29 DAUGHTER was definitely conceived when she saw Killers of the Flower Moon Lily Gladstone's character fits the entire revenge arc alongside the 'everyone around me failed me, mostly the ones closest to me' you can FEEL the pain... oh wow 1
