BEYONCÉ - act i RENAISSANCE

[Someboy]

Where's my interpolation credit on Pure/Honey?

Spoiler: CRINGE Warning

Can we stop this huntie, cuntie, full monty, holy I'm so funky stuff?

Thanks!

 

[Lapras]

I haven't listened to the album since yesterday

Why is this sending me. Comeback Corner queen!

 

[goldsoundz]

I wonder if she just finished “Honey.” She’s singing about the world at war and inflation.

 

[Euphoria]

Screammm. I had to limit my use of the leak otherwise I was not going to stop.

 

[mcuk]

On first listen, this is her best album.

It’s giving Azealia Banks and Solange with shades of Afrofuturism and Ballroom culture. Whew.

 

[bazayer]

Pure/Honey is still giving me life - whole song is a movie

 

[Someboy]

Thanks to the train ticket I received, I created some mashups of the tracks in advance.

Throb and Thique…?

 

[believeagain]

I waited until this morning and I’m obsessed.

This legend.

I'm definitely going to have to sit with this record for a bit before forming an opinion. It's absolutely nothing I was expecting and also everything I was expecting based on peoples reviews. I can say that the last 5-6 songs are hitting me harder than the first but that can all change.

Just on first listen, I actually think 'Plastic Off the Sofa' is really commercial-sounding and could work as a nice mid-tempo single for her. Pure/Honey seems like an obvious smash too.

 

[Truce]

I am losing my goddamn mind

 

[superultra]

Throb and Thique…?

"All for You" and "Cuff It."

 

[klow]

"HEATED" truly gives me "FIND YOUR WAY BACK" after having snorted something. 10/10 no notes.

 

[Artemisia]

I think Thique is my favorite.

 

[Square]

Cat-e-gory… sexy

 

[Someboy]

"All for You" and "Cuff It."

Oh man, I meant that as a possible suggestion, I clicked what the songs are, and you did great work!

Oop, my bad! I'm running on fumes and Beyoncé done stole my last working braincells for the night.

 

[bonnieetclyde]

Now that's someone who's going to be enjoying this album.

Spoiler

I can totally see this album and Bjork's next (rumoured to also be more uptempo) becoming the most talked about records of 2022 and I'm ALL FOR IT BABY.

 

[craiggci]

The way my local Sanity store still has Ed Sheeran's album on the "new releases" stand and Beyoncé is nowhere to be seen... bye.

I've lived in New Zealand for 12 years and I've NEVER ONCE been able to buy a physical copy of an album on release day.

Still listening to this on repeat. I think I might have to stop myself so I don't get bored of it in a week.

 

[Petty Mayonnaise]

The transition from Thique to All Up In Your Mind...

 

[scottdisick94]

She’s honestly quite unwell for this
