Regardless of when it was recorded, it was country music. So is it the knowledge of the album recording order or the fact that it's country music that is making you 'jump ship' from the era? Because none of this is making much sense...

Partake in what you like, skip what you don't. The thing about Beyonce's music for me is that I don't live her life when I listen, I apply it to my life, my situation, and somehow I always relate to what she puts out. I appreciate her expression of herself through her music, but I listen through my situation. Lemonade to me wasn't about her life with infidelity, it was about some important struggles I was having, and the empowerment she had was how I felt about myself. I'll never forget the way I actually felt euphoric listening to All Night as loud as I could handle. That song still makes me feel a certain type of way. Say that to some other fandoms. They only See the lives from the artists and Not their own. 1

Devin Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Renaissance was great choice for the first act. Its fun, upbeat, sonically trendy to the time in music + she needed more groovy music after the seriousness of TG, Lemonade, and ST. 3
qurl Posted March 23 Posted March 23 i think people here something like this and then take it beyond literal or fill in the cracks of ambiguity with their own ideas , but really this could mean that the concept, sound, and rough demos of the songs were completed first and knowing Beyoncé i would imagine she's been tweaking with the production for a while. she's also probably asked multiple artists to come up with ideas for features and took her time deciding who belongs on what. the idea of her having an album sitting on a shelf completely done and collecting dust for 5 years doesn't make a ton of sense to me. 3

Isn't there a full Album before 4 was Made that never saw the light of day?

FSXP Posted March 23 Posted March 23 6 minutes ago, Negiiiii said: What? Can someone explain wow I want details It's all but confirmed (by Beyoncé at least) that Beyoncé was working on a Fela Kuti inspired album pre-4. We don't know if it's a full album cause of how Beyoncé works, but there's probably a lot of music from that period. We can see some of inspiration seeped into 4 though. (End of Time is certainly a result of that period or at least reminiscent of it)

Jon Snow Posted March 23 Posted March 23 (edited) 31 minutes ago, queenoftheclouds said: Isn't there a full Album before 4 was Made that never saw the light of day? there's many of albums she scrapped. as it was explained above, before 4 happened, she worked on a Fela Kuti inspired album. before Self-Titled was made, she worked on an album that would have a sound of Grown Woman, Standing On The Sun, Pretty Hurts (probably), XO, Donk, Wake Up. if i'm not mistaken, I Am... Sasha Fierce was supposed to sound more electronic with tracks produced by Freemasons, so it would probably lean more on the side of Sweet Dreams and Control. who knows what else she worked on Edited March 23 by Jon Snow 1

Didnt she say on the RWT movie she sat on Rennie and played it and tweaked it for a whole year before she was happy with it and considered it ready to be released? She's too much of a perfectionist she's not gonna rush to release a bunch of songs she just recorded before she analyses every aspect of it and feels ready. I dont know why everyone is being weird about this. I mean we know how she works. Jay-z said they were recording Everything Is Love way back in 2014/15 and she then started getting further along with Lemonade so she finished that first. This is how she works. She doesnt realese music as a hobbie, as contractual obligation or as an excuse to tour. This is serious for her. She's not gonna release an album she doesnt believe 100% in 6 1
45seconds Posted March 23 Posted March 23 18 hours ago, Cbreezy said: Of course, the tracking might be off. But, at the moment, there's nothing to suggest that's the case. Again, working with the data available, 150k-200k or thereabout isn't that far-fetched. She's sold an estimated 47k vinyls so far. The CD boxes are said to be selling slowly too. But, for convo sake, let's say that's another 20k She did 120k streaming units first week with Rennie. Let's say her heightened streaming profile gives her 140k this time as a conservative estimate. That totals just over 200k. Not the worst, but an underperformance and an unnecessary one at. I'd gladly take it on the chin if it were a surprise release or if the market is bad or if she did all she could. But doing anything in the ballpark above will be annoying because it literally did not need to happen. She's had weeks and weeks to benefit from hype buys. Beyoncé is not selling only 200k first week. 150k is laughable to suggest. Some of you have tunnel vision with these vinyl sale numbers. 1
Negiiiii Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Her vault must be insane but the fact that she's so dedicated that what she puts out is only the best of the best and when it's ready, no rush is INSANE 1
