Why is Sandcastles so underrated by her own stans? Honestly, it's her best ballad since Halo.

TBH, I watched the visual on HBO as my first listen of the album... and I could not stand to see Jay-Z in the "Sandcastles" video hugging on our girl after the revelations of the previous album tracks and opening her up to this embarrassment. "All Night" was when I got over it, but I was like "who does this bloke think he is?" Didn't listen to it again for some months. I would skip the track and play "Forward" instead.

I think it's coming in September-October, and I made peace with it.

See you in September/October when its still crickets

On another note: CIL had a crazy good Sunday Update (1.1mio streams). Theres quite the chance for CIL to reenter the Top200 most streamed songs globally speaking (daily charts) if it keeps increasing like this.

I think we should've picked up a hint that we weren't getting anything this month after SirDavis revealed the winner of the autographed Lemonade vinyl will be announced around September 9th. That's an odd, random date. Bey usually kicks off her eras by doing things back to back. So, MAYBE the era isn't starting until the fall or winter.

Billboard (which has been suspicious of having connections with Team Bey) also did a special article/interview about B'Day's 20th anniversary this month when its actual anniversary is in September. I found it odd that they didn't wait until its actual anniversary… something coming in September?

yes back in 2013 i think when she reworked her page she uploaded a ton of bts **** on her vault section (included this)
now everything is back gone cause the ***** is a gatekeeper

Can somebody who has an idea help me understand why she insists on keeping all this content locked up instead of just giving it to us?

We know she likes to document almost everything and has an extensive vault, but why not release it during key moments to build hype? Like Lemonade 10 year would've been a good time to capitalize off of the hype and release some unreleased content and anniversary edition for the $$$, not to mention B'Day 20 coming up and FORMATION TOUR 👀

I like Sandcastles but the lyrics are pretty bad after the first verse

Dishes smashed on my counter from our last encounter
Pictures snatched out the frame
*****, I scratched out your name and your face
What is it about you that I can't erase, baby?
When every promise don't work out that way, no, no, babe
When every promise don't work out that way

And your heart is broken 'cause I walked away
Show me your scars and I won't walk away, oh
And I know I promised that I couldn't stay, baby
Every promise don't work out that way, no, no, no, no, no
Every promise don't work out that way

The last verse feels really repetitive and I usually skip it at that point

I'd love to sit down with her and ask her why gives us things then take them away. I guess a big part of that is exclusivity, but I also think she just isn't thinking about it from a consumer perspective. She's probably forgotten about all of the stuff she gave us on the website and may not even know its gone now

I might be in the minority, but I just wanna receive the closure to the Trilogy asap. Its been so long with so little (we pretty much only ever got the album + a tour, which is the bare minimum for an A-lister like Bey). Just wrap it up, give us the final act, tell us if we ever get visuals or nah, and let us be fans in peace.

Its not like shes going to feed us anyway, lbr.

I would also pretty much want confirmation on the status of the visuals. The last official statements were conflicting; "a queen moves at her own pace" (I.e. hold on tight) and "you are the visuals" (I.e. they're cancelled). Some sort of confirmation either way seems necessary- especially when Yvette has the time to dispute random fan theories online

after that there was also the "i'm not gonna make a film-it's gonna live in my mind" post-it end of 2023, the No Visuals Awards halloween costume in 2024 and the QG spread in which she said that "visuals are distracting, focus on the music" nonsense

RELEASE YOUR JOB

RELEASE YOUR TIME

RELEASE YOUR TRADE

RELEASE THE STRESS

FORGET THE REST

I go back and forth on supporting her whole "idgaf" attitude over the status of her career. She factually has nothing to prove and can whatever the hell she wants as she should, but then it gets to a point where this energy just looks bad to the fans who have supported since day 1. You might not gaf about visuals or making content available or having proper communication, but you certainly give af about shoving whiskeys and shampoos down our throats like okay…

At the end of the day she's mother but she can also go to hell it is what it is

So… are Solange and Meg…

i'm with you!... who should we pretend to stan in the meanwhile while she gets her **** together?

I just had a vision of Raye winning Best Song at the Grammys for WHERE IS MY HUSBAND? and Beyonce jumps out of her seat with excitement. Raye runs to hug Beyonce and Raye's earring gets caught in Beyoncés wig and snatches it off her head. On live tv Beyonce is seen for .05 seconds with a wig cap on and everyone's jaw drops. Raye pretends nothing happened but makes her speech short to avoid further embarrassment. Pro-generative AI hive should prompt that.

"Sometimes a visual can be a distraction from the quality of the voice and the music. The years of hard work and detail put into an album that takes over four years! The music is enough"

She said it already, I keep posting this quote but no one will accept that she scrapped the visuals because of nadia lee cohen

Come to think of it, she has pretty much given us an answer, maybe we are just so in denial we refuse to accept it: Visuals are not coming
