Enjoy the title all you want but stop policing people who don't. "reducing yourself"..... It's literally her last name. Beyonce Giselle Knowles CARTER. Is her literal government name on her ID, Passport, Business Deals, Everything. It's LITERALLY HER LAST NAME. Are yall okay? 2 4
CallumDavies Posted March 12 Posted March 12 (edited) The album title is okay. Beyoncé isn’t know for great album titles… 4, BEYONCÉ, BDAY… I wish she had posted the album cover and a pre-order link the same day the first two singles dropped. Just after the Super Bowl commercial. And then released the track list closer to release date. But we have variants so I’m happy. Edited March 12 by CallumDavies 2

Yes. does it sound like she's going to have fun rather than be super serious? Yes. does it sound like a movie character's name? Yes. Edited March 12 by swissman 1

Enjoy the title all you want but stop policing people who don't. "Reducing" though? How is she reducing herself? How is using his last name which is now also half-her own a reduction of who she is, when being a wife and mother is also who she is now and her name BEYONCÉ will forever be attached right along side the album title? If you don't care about the cowboy connection, that's fine, but Beyoncé often puts hidden meanings under the surface and it doesn't matter if people get it or not. She used a sample from a state penitentiary in Freedom to further illuminate the meaning of the song. Does anyone know? Can anyone listening to the song tell what it is? No, but that doesn't matter. It's still there, it's still baked into it. The choice to call someone telling you to get over the title "policing" is odd, especially when you are here policing what she should or shouldn't name her album, whose surname she can/should use, etc. Edited March 12 by swissman 3 1

This way, she can tie subsequent reminders with actual new content for people, allowing her to sustain interest and continue to promote in a way that feels organic to what's being posted.

Hephaestus Posted March 12 Posted March 12 My god, y'all still going? Like damn, go back discussing whether the picture in the Instagram story is the actual cover or something. That discussion is over.
Mr. Specialist Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Whether y’all like the album title or not, it is finalized. There is nothing you can do about it. Please accept it and move on. 2
Kh-Loud Posted March 12 Posted March 12 (edited) Why is she charging $40 for a small box? I can send a whole pallet of freight for $200 is that shipping supposed to be luxurious too? Other than that, UGLY NAME but YASSS FINALLY. Now I can relax and enjoy the era unfolding itself Edited March 12 by Kh-Loud
Kh-Loud Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Renaissance together with that cover is her best combo of a title and a cover. if that picture she posted with the pre-save link for Cowboy is her official cover then it’s her worst as a title-cover combo!! 1
swissman Posted March 12 Posted March 12 (edited) 1 hour ago, idkwiam said: And that's why Beyoncé isn't a feminist and Tina was a feminist. What's not feminist is suggesting in a situation of cheating, a woman can only still be deemed a feminist if she leaves the man who cheated. This gives the ultimate power to men's actions, allowing that their mistakes are women's burdens that, no matter what she wants from the situation, must be dealt with in a prescribed way. Taking away a woman's right to choose for herself how she wants her life relative to something a man did is not a take that supports feminism which promotes a woman's right to make her own decisions free from the social obligations that come with being a woman. Also you're making it seem like Beyoncé found out and shrugged it off and said "I guess that's just something that I as a woman have to be okay with." She left him. He begged for her back. He proved his commitment. She took him back. It's really that simple. She gets to decide what she wants from her life. Not you, and not fake-feminist respectability politics. If it were the other way around, would you say that Jay-Z is anti-men because he chose to stay with his wife? Edited March 12 by swissman 6 1
KORDEI Posted March 12 Posted March 12 I personally like the title. It's so much better than ENLIGHTENMENT, RODEO, REVOLUTION etc and all of those basic titles the hive came up with. Revolution especially. Y'all have been trying to get her to name an album that since 4. Move on For those who don't like it yet, I understand. RENAISSANCE as a title was a grower for me but now I can't imagine it with any other name 7 1

swissman Posted March 12 Posted March 12 (edited) how do people not realize that she hasn't released the cover? none of those look like covers. none of them have been posted on instagram. all the albums on her site are just black with text. her site even says the cover is yet to be revealed. and Beyoncé is not the type of person to release five different covers simultaneously. like what's not clicking?
