And didn't they shoot two videos for Girls Trip? Eurosummer and Girl's Girl

hot & sexy getting snubbed not once but TWICE is insane

Yeah the keys were lowered on those three bonus tracks! Then Back Up and Creole have new arrangements towards the end. If the key change was intentional, then the only logical explanation in my eyes is her re-recording them.

In the next few days if we don't randomly get updated versions of the bonus tracks on digital then we know it was intentional. Which would then leave me to believe they were really re-recorded, bc why just pitch down those bonus tracks for no reason

it's so unfortunate that Crowd Control isn't on here

OH ***** I FORGOT THIS WAS COMING MHM YUP MHM ISSA BOP

yeah idk why it was a b'day bonus in 2006 OR on here in 2026. maybe she really liked the song, or there was some funky contractual obligation to pharrell w this track? edit: maybe she really loves her work with pharrell lmao. cuz morning dew (donk) isn't from this era, and Can I Watch You doesn't really sound like a bidet era track 👀

you're right, it was on b'day deluxe as a bonus track at best buy. before that it was on her live @ wembley dvd

It's quite literally the bottom of the barrel in terms of audio quality I'm not saying that to be funny, I love Bey and this album in particular. This song is truly just a poor quality master, and it's crazy they didn't fix it for the re-release. An official release from a major label topping out at 160 kbps is insane.

on topic: I really do like this song, and love the video. can't wait to hear the album!

if you want an interesting bass line, pls check this out

I know what you're talking about, this re-release and re-master have us looking at these tracks through a new lens of appreciation

Comparing the waveforms from the OG album and this deluxe re-release, they look mostly the same outside of what i'm assuming to be boosted bass. I don't think there's new vocals. I even played the OG mix and this one back to back at select parts and couldn't hear any new vocals. If there are parts you can confirm to be new, I'd love to hear what you have to share!

Green Light was absolutely remastered. It's lossless now, and when you play it, you can truly hear the difference when compared to the OG mix. Unfortunately, Listen is still as it was on the original release. When you clock the specs, it's still lossy as ****. That's why I think the re-mastering was only the standard album plus a few random tracks. I'm waiting for clarification on what happened to the bonus tracks. I'm on the boat that says they were somewhat re-recorded, but they also do sound pitched down lmao. And if they were pitched down, idk why that'd be the case
