Mr. Specialist

Overall, I will say this album is a solid R&B album and her most cohesive body of work to date. However, I can see why many think it sounds boring, especially compared to her previous bodies of work. It's filled with a lot of midtempos and not as sonically diverse. There aren't any songs that immediately make me want to go back and play again. Maybe it will need to grow on people, including myself. I'm interested to see how she will perform these songs on her upcoming tour since many of them are on the slower side. I can't envision a lot of these songs having much or any choreography.

I've been riding with Tinashe for so long. I love to see her finally getting the recognition and flowers that she deserves. I'm so happy for her.

New vocals on Kitty Kat too

Regarding the non-bonus songs, I'm seeing people say so far: Ring The Alarm - she reworked/scrapped vocals on the bridge Welcome To Hollywood - Jay-Z updated his verse

Not sure yet how I feel about the pitch being altered for some of the songs but the album sounds FRESH! I'm so glad the songs have been remastered. The remix with Selena is my fave! Can't wait to see the videos in 4k!

You were right.

The original description of the deluxe vinyl said a release date of 9/18, so they pushed the release date up!

I can't see her working with AMC again so I'm not hype about the Renaissance Film Placeholder. I'm just going to assume it's some type of error.

Reminding me of the Club Renaissance parties during the Renaissance era. Sony or Parkwood will probably announce more parties at various locations.

This is now sold out on her European store

Y'all argue about everythingggg

FYI - the 2LP set is now available for pre-order at other online retailers. The deluxe 4LP set seems to be a Shop Beyoncé exclusive.

I have a feeling a special limited collector's set is coming on September 4th. It just makes sense to me.

September 4th, the day of her birthday. The press release said "upcoming epic celebration". It makes sense for her to have something else up her sleeve that is very special.

Definitely think a 3rd vinyl is coming to complete the picture of the alligator.

Chile, I clicked so fast and ordered everything

I send my condolences to both of you and your families @Mitsouko @Lose My Breath I can only imagine what you're going through. My heart goes out to both of you.
