I mean knowing her, would it not make sense that it'll release globally at midnight est or pst?

No. Both Rennie and CC were locally released. She hasn't done that since her surprise albums.

We are about to regret not buying the $150 deluxe vinyl

I'm still not buying it lol

People are apparently receiving emails about the listening parties today. I don't have one yet but a) I hope I do and b) I'm still confused about the UK one clashing with Jay's gig.

I kind of fully expect it. I learned to expect the worst when it comes to Bey. Had to learn the hard way.

Can only quote myself at this point.

Like why listening parties for 1 new song lol

Idk. I might be wrong, but if it were the same album we have been listening to, it would be already out in NZ.

There's no point in being so secretive about an old album.

This would be evil.

why would the artist who never does local releases suddenly do it now ? open the schools

Get Me Bodied ft Gaga dropping tomorrow

It's untrue, we listened to CC through that Bear VPN app.

And you'll be the first in attendance to the said school since the last 2 albums were local releases

oh beylocal

so what are the options here?

• she's decided randomly to do a global same-time release on streaming platforms

  • more chance it could be a remaster/re-record

• she's decided not to release the anniversary editions on streaming platforms at all

  • less likely it's a remaster/re-recording

  • more likely of a choice for her to make lol

i do think the deluxe is gonna remain vinyl exclusive (hope is not)

i guess if its not on streaming it sort of helps justify the cost of access to the unreleased tracks, but i also cant imagine songs like back up and creole wouldn't be added on streaming considering even the sorry demo got added to lemons

Yeah this could go one of two ways. Either it's a remaster which will be released at the same time globally, or it won't be on streaming at all.
