storminthedark Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 I think there was some shuffling of the album (I mean wbk since YA YA is off the physicals) but Tyler Johnson (As It Was/Flowers) posted about co-writing and coproducing American Requiem and Amen. He said they started it in 2021 and implied it was one song she split. Makes sense that they're great opening and closing tracks since it was originally one song.
Cheers Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 Can anyone explain BEYINCÈ? I don't get why that was the original title. Also, I think this should've been called Requiiem. 1
Stellar1103 Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 One thing for sure is Jay-Z is definitely a writer on Spaghetti. I wonder who wrote Alligator Tears, it's such a beautiful song.
FameFatale Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 I swear this album is crack. It's all I've listened to the past 2 days I do think the first-middle is better than the back end of the album.

Since, white people didn't give a damn about spelling black baby's name right during that era, they spelled it Beyoncé.

Mess why didn't I know Miss Tina's last name is Beyoncé I kinda like BEYINCÈ as an album name now knowing the meaning. Especially with all the reclaiming themes. 2
chris1991 Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 Sweet Honey Buckin is my favorite 2 days in…things will change like Renny

Achilles. Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 I wish the interludes had just been parts of the songs they introduce, like how she put Dolly on Tyrant. It's very annoying that (1) three of them are so short they don't even scrobble to lastfm and (2) if you listen to the album on shuffle you get Dolly and Linda introducing songs that do not actually play right after. 1

I agree. I wish they handled it like ST when it comes to that.
Achilles. Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 Wait. Not Cam (“Burning House" songstress) cowriting Requiem. WAIT. And Protector, Daughter, Tyrant, and Amen.
ScorpiosGroove Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 if she does show up at the iheart awards i think that'll help move some sales / promo
crf13 Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 My CD arrived cracked and damaged. The tracklist doesn't include Spaghetti, Ya Ya, Oh Louisiana, or The Linda Martell Show. And there's no additional track as promised by her website...an absolute mess.

thatsmydemi Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 Levii's Jeans is addictive omg at first I was like and this is the song everyone keep saying it's a hit? but damn now I can't get it out of my head. It has that spring chill vibe... I wish they were pushing this instead of II Most Wanted
Virgos Groove Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 Oh Louisiana could've just been tacked on at the end of Ya Ya, especially since there's another interlude right after. 2

You can create your own playlist excluding the interludes for a focus on the real songs. Then u dont have to worry about that.
SinnerCity Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 So I finally had time to sit down and listen to the album and I am shocked at how good it is! Bodyguard, Daughter, Alligator Tears, Tyrant and her cover of Jolene are amongst the best songs Bey has released so far. Somehow this feels more genuine and organic than Renaissance if that makes sense? So so good, amazing body of work 1
Virgos Groove Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 I sashayed my dress Did my best impression of a damsel in distress This alcohol and smell of regret Allured my catch Outfit too small to hide my scars Feelin' bottled up like bottle service broads How long can he hold his breath before his death? 2
