Right? Every popstar from late 90s/early 00s is touring stadiums! OT: UNIQUE! That's what she is. Greatest performer ever.

Also obsessed with "you're in the back...... of my mind" and "it's 2 AM yeah we made it, everybody faded"

Beautifully said guys!!! I have to say I'm OBSESSED with this album already, was trying to wait for the full thing but I can't stop listening to what we already have. I'm sure it's already my favorite Kelela project, so atmospheric, so sensual, so nocturnal, so many layers... Also can we talk about these videos??? Kelela is probably the greatest visual artist with the lowest budget wow... Each of the videos was an EXPERIENCE (just like the songs). Currently obsessed with OTR and Contact LOVE LOVE LOVE the Raven era, hope to see her in Brazil again!

Someones throwing a party near my house and they were blasting this MASTERPIECE Jfc so many memories... A lifetime scored by this crazy woman **** Spotify idc

Beyoncé is 100% my favorite artist ever but not even her can make me defend capitalism lol That said, it's always funny reading things like "oh she aint about the culture" or "she just cares about the money" blah blah blah. PLEASE. None of your "faves" (and this is obviously not even a pop music thing) are doing anything "for fans". They just care about MONEY and POWER. Welcome to the 21st century.

**** I was not expecting this thread lock at all so let me pay homage to this MASTERPIECE sharing my current thoughts - First of all, I LITERALLY haven't listened to any other album since July 29 - It is the GREATEST album of all time, my favorite listening experience EVER etc. Beyoncé's (musical) mind is so freaking unbelievable, it's INSANE, the greatest to ever do this - Biggest growers: Thique, Church Girl - The trinity (of B's career) will forever be Virgos > Move > Heated (> Thique)

I was just ranking her directors LOL The Michel Gondry thing happened in 2017 and apparently it was delayed because of the twins, so I assume it's scrapped by now. I love him, so I'll forever be wondering what that was for https://www.wmagazine.com/story/beyonce-new-music-video-michel-gondry/amp

Its true, its true. I dont know why but I love it when the second single is bigger than the first

Jake Nava > Melina > Jonas Akerlund >= Hype Williams >= Sophie Muller >>>>>>>>> Beyond Giraffe Holes The fact she scrapped the Michel Gondry video is just so... Beyoncé

Great post!

Is this sarcasm?

She is right (and also the most important pop female artist ever) but I can't help but think it's so corny she keeps acting like this. Like, WE KNOW, Madonna. Does this take us anywhere beyond stans screaming "yas queen"? Ofc she's free to do whatever she wants and I'll forever be a fan of the artist, but I do feel like she's trying to prove herself more than ever when she's the LAST person who should be doing it. I agree. I'd argue it's even more intricate than Erotica tbh, not only because of the marriage/motherhood themes you mentioned, but also because Beyoncé is black. Whenever people bring up the topic of this thread, the differences between how white women x black women are portrayed are generally not taken into account. No black woman could have got away with the SEX book. So yes, Erotica pushed a lot of boundaries for all women, but for me it's impossible to forget black female artists are playing in a different field.

YOU ARE SO ******* PRESSED AND ITS JUST SO ******* FUNNY HAHAHHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAH I wish you could see how PATHETIC your "arguments" are lolololololol

Yeah I hate her
