What Beyoncé album deserves a sequel?

If you followed the same logic as Confessions II, you would probably end up picking IASF or Rennie. Either a commercial or creative peak. Or at the very least, pervasive and iconic culturally.

But if I had to pick one, I think I would choose B'Day.

Why? It's an album that never really got its flowers. It was before poptimism and the way it was marketed and promoted undervalued it.

Beyoncé has grown so much sonically since then, but she also thrives in sonic environments where she is encouraged to explore freedom and joy (à la Rennie). It would be cool to hear her go back to the funk, soul and rnb sonic world of B'Day, but levelled up, more mature and complex.

Oh thats an easy one:

CLEARLY and without a doubt: Renaissance.

I do believe an IASF II would commercially result in a Beymania.

I honestly think Dangerously in love and 4 could have a sequel

I think IASF would be her most interesting to make into a sequel, I think it's her least favorably reviewed album and most often cited by hive as her worst. So for her to improve upon the vision... Imagine a teaser of her walking in heels and putting on her mechanical glove.. she would obliterate the internet like thanos

Yeah people would go ******* crazy. And it would be cool for her to try and really drive the sonic divide. 5 songs for SF and 5 songs for IA.

obviously the original does have that divide but the SF side loses steam after the first couple of tracks. I mean Hello is hardly 'Sasha Fierce'

Confessions II releasing in July with an April lead single really does help support the May 29th theory - nobody seems to want to release around that time.

I guess the bigger question is, do industry insiders actually get a heads up when Bey is set to release, or do they just assume May 29th because, like the rest of us, the logic fits?

I believe that not even Tina knows when Horsé will release act III

What is making it obvious are these album announcements before the MET Galyoncé.

It's as if they are racing against time, just like tours announcements before the Cowboy Carter Tour...

Definitely IASF has the most possibilities for a sequel because its theme is the most elastic and can work with wherever she's at in the moment in her life, musically, etc. All it has to do is follow a more "natural" sound and then a more "produced" on on each disc.

I'm Still... Sasha Fierce (2029)

I could be wrong, and if I am, I'll simply continue living my life, but I think the most likely outcome is she starts removing the act ii branding from her website and social media the week of 4.27. Single(s) 5.1, Met GALA exposure 5.5, then album 5.29

Anything is possible, but I actually think her single-to-album rollout is relatively predictable in terms of distance.

In trilogy-land, it's been 6-8 weeks each time from single to album release.

So, IMO, even if May 29th is actually a thing, she's unlikely to drop the single so close to it IMO.

Doing a bit of math, if May 29th is happening, single would need to either drop on April 17 (this Friday) or at the very least be announced.

We'll see.

We did it. We reached rock bottom in basé. She's on a creative run unheard of and I have to read the words Sasha Fierce 2

She's not though. She doesn't really perform like Sasha anymore, unfortunately

I think 4.21 would be a great date to make a post about Prince (10th anniversary of his death) on her website and remove the act ii title and the animation.

Renaissance is already B'days sequel/grown up sister to me.

Did you ever consider that's what "still" could mean there? Like, it's not the crazy dancing that made her "Sasha Fierce" but who she is inside... HELLO!

Or that she could... just start performing like Sasha again. imo "Sasha Fierce" on stage is less about energetic dance or whatever you're implying, and more about how locked in she is. From RWT and on, she's been more "Beyoncé", more personable, giggly, mostly about having fun with the performance, not projecting a character. That's the difference, I think. And even still there are lot of "ferocious" moments.

Edited April 15Apr 15 by swissman

anyway, she kind of already did do a sequel... that's basically what Everything is Love is... the final chapter to Lemonade/444.

Nahhh dancing fiercely was a HUGE part of Sasha. Sasha is who showed up at 7am onnTyra and performed Deja Vu like rent was DUE it was Sasha who dropped on the floor during Deja Vu @BET, who sang the mashup of CIL and Crazy, who turned up during the RTW performances and hoped on that judges table in France, etc

I didn't say dancing was not a part of Sasha Fierce though.

What you said is supported by what I said. Her being so "locked in" for a performance is what made her do all those things, and is what defines Sasha Fierce. Dancing is a part of it, it's not what Sasha Fierce is about.

The first time I ever heard her mention Sasha was in reference to her throwing her expensive bracelet into the crowd for her VMAs CIL debut. That had nothing to do with dancing, but the fact that she was so in the moment, so focused on the performance that Sasha took over and decided "we don't even need this bracelet, throw it". The dancing is obviously a huge part of it, but it's not the defining factor.

This was Sasha Fierce (even though it's from the "Beyoncé" disc) and it has basically no choreography unless you consider strutting or flipping her hair to be dancing.

Edited April 15Apr 15 by swissman

Sasha Fierce is more so her aggressive nature when performing. Like jumping on top of tables and singing in people faces type ****. It's not just the dancing.
