Both horrible

Virgo's Groove clears And Bodyguard is the only song on the list that could be sung by another artist. There's nothing distinctly Beyoncé about it. So that's last

Quality!

I feel bad for Prince Harry. It must be incredibly difficult, when you're fundamentally stupid to unpick two truths: 1) he has had a remarkable life - he is the child of two of the most famous people to have ever lived, he is the descendant of a 1000 years of English monarchy, his mother died in the most tragic and public circumstances and his grief has been a public spectacle for the past 20 years 2) he is a totally unremarkable person - as aforementioned, not the brightest, no discernable skills and has nothing of substance or use to say about anything His life has been special, but he isn't special in anyway. He left the Royal Family, and quickly found out that without the institution behind him - he has no place in the world.

Weirdly, not an improvement on the original. There's something so pure, earnest and hollow about Lily's delivery that perfectly matches the lyrical theme of the song.

I still believe the rumour (that I made up) that Ellie Rowsell from Wolf Alice will have a writing credit on Act 3 Wolf Alice are also signed to Columbia, and Ellie has spoken several times about Bey publicly. She even named Lemonade one of her 'perfect 10' albums.

I don't think we'll get anything else this year. See you Q2 2027!

I think it's cool that she pulls from her heritage, but the accent she puts on is annoying

I'll always have a soft spot for her. Her music was such an important part of my late teens and early 20s. But this AI **** has to stop!

Yeah exactly - you got it!

Jealous Type really turned me off and I never bothered to listen to the album. The era felt long, and meandering, and the album far too long. It needed to be more concise and confident.

I agree, this needs to be a short and focussed campaign. Based on what she's said, this is going to a much more personal album, perhaps even a concept album tracing the break down of her relationship, a la Lemonade and West End Girl. I think the campaign should be characterised by a sense of restrain, purpose but strong world building. Perhaps one single six weeks out, announced alongside the album with pre-orders for vinyls and other formats. And then bring the album into real life, and off the internet. Perhaps a live show without phones, or a mini tour. Or she could make something physical fans can touch and buy and collect - like a mini book or magazine that tells the story of the album. I like the idea of an offline campaign - something you can only really engage with in real life. It fits in with in with the current human first anti-AI sentiment in her target fanbase too.

This song is beautiful

Oh this is a huge win for her. And she's already trailing the album. Amazing

This album is crazy
