OH MY GOD I’m so glad that someone else has noticed this! I agree!!!! Can’t work out what song is reminds me of!
BEYONCÉ - act i RENAISSANCE
- Thread starter Ensnare
- Start date
He/Him
Her Virgo work ethic is legendary! The way the GP so often overlook the relentless effort and drive because of Beyoncé’s perfect presentation and (more recently) generous crediting of her collaborators. Yes she makes it LOOK effortless but only a fool would think that. And let’s not forgot how much people like to deny Black women their agency- Aretha Franklin was seen more as someone with “a god given talent” than the genius she was cause most Americans believe musical genius is reserved for (mostly white) men.
It’s mad how this album evolves, because MOVE was not my fave over the past few weeks but now I can’t stop listening. Very early 00s like you said.

The pre-chorus on "Move" gives me like classic DC3 vibes. And the bridge is stunning.
Yesss that era of Lil Jon productions. Which took me to the song her delivery was reminding me of in particular!
Yes! I thought the same thing! I don’t know what it reminds me of, but it makes me laugh and shake my ass every time that part comes up. It gives me Blackout vibes, but I know it’s not a completely accurate example.
She/Her/Queen
The signs of her Renaissance was right here!
Did I just realize that 9-4-81 at the beginning is her actual birthdate? Yes... yes I did...
The last 30 seconds of 'Thique'...
It’s funny you say this because there’s elements of Virgos Groove that reminds me of Some Like It by Amerie.
He/Him
I put Virgo's Groove in the car today and my mom asked if it was Sade.
Surely at this point the only logical thing is for the visuals to come out on her birthday, right?
Unless she fucks us up with a Beyoncé of act ii and the visuals are ages away.

Probably my favorite moment of the album. She really did that.
Been rewatching all the B'Day videos while waiting for these gawddamn vizhuwals.
The B'Day videos were shot in a very short timeframe and it seems like they weren't on huge budgets but she sells the shit out of them.
She's an absolute goddess in the black PVC catsuits. I love Brunette Beyonce.

I was literally cleaning my house this weekend (after playing this album very single day all the way through several times since release) discovering some new vocal moments and flourishes on a few tracks I had never heard before, and I don't want to be extra but...I actually teared up?
She PACKED each and every one of these tracks with layers, details, and moments. Aurally its so fucking exciting to hear an artist use every trick in the bag, it gives me goosebumps. I absolutely believe this will be a defining record of this decade, at this point.
