ratedreid Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 SOURCE: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/beyonce-releases-cowboy-carter-302103403.html "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." "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." "I think people are going to be surprised because I don't think this music is what everyone expects," Beyoncé says, "but it's the best music I've ever made." 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jotham Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 It makes sense. "AMEN" transitions very well into Renaissance. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TROPICUM Posted March 29 Popular Post Share Posted March 29 she probably was going to release CC as a normal album and not part of a trilogy, she had a dance album concept and songs ready to follow but not as an act then covid happened, she placed her focus on the dance record and came up with the trilogy concept somewhere in between 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Yea, I've had an inkling for a while that that the reason visuals haven't come out for act i is because it wouldn't make sense as the story starts with Cowboy Carter, so we need to see the Cowboy Carter visuals as they lead into Renaissance. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemoehre Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Interesting. I am interested to see how it all fits together in the end with act 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen transitions a bit into I AM THAT GIRL. Plus the idea in American Requiem is the same one in ITG. I think she already had both albums ready and finished. She just decided to switch the order because of the pandemic. Also add to the fact that Renaissance is teased in Levii's jeans.

Achilles. Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 It really does feel like a natural sonic progression from Lemonade to me. And I think "renaissance" as an album title would have made even more sense coming after cowboy carter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also add to the fact that Renaissance is teased in Levii's jeans. I had a feeling that this was the exact reason, down to the pandemic. The first time I heard the sudden tempo speed up at the end of "Amen" I knew it had to be a way of time traveling or something akin to it. She rarely does anything like that without a purpose, and that choice couldn't have been some random decision. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where are you now? Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Interesting. Notice how she says she "recorded" 100 songs instead of "wrote" 100 songs. I thought she wrote her music 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought she wrote her music You could write 1000 songs and record 100 so your point doesn't even make sense. Saying "recorded" is to show how much work she put into making fully realized productions. But I'm sure looking like a fool wasn't your concern when you typed it, you just wanted to get a petty, dated jab in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wording just seemed funny to me. Usually in interviews when artists are talking about making an album they say it along the lines "I wrote around 70 songs for this album" or "We worked on about 150 songs over the last 4 years" etc. Idk why "recorded" just sounds like an American Idol winner walked into the studio and recorded whatever demo the producer threw at them. But I apologize, I know Bey writes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
