BEYONCÉ - act i RENAISSANCE

[odyism]

Yeah, I didn’t want to say if it was a sample but the keyboard riffs are very similar to Any Time, Any Place. It could be an interpolation.

Which you know is actually quite fun to think about in the context of Renaissance, which is so sample heavy and referential.

It's also amazing to just hear remixes and part IIs in 2023 that are still in the lineage of 90s r&b. Like YES give me a whole new vocal, give me new vocal flourishes, bridges, and a completely different vibe.

The remix kinda reminds me of Confessions era Usher in terms of production and overall vibe.

It’s kind of insane how this feels ages ago and then you realize that she was already smashing back then as well.

Renaissance: Remixed & Revisited when?

 

[Synthline]

Well, I just listened to the album version of Cuff It, the accapella, the instrumental, and the Wetter remix in that order and it feels like I've experience entire galaxies of music. The level of excellence on display on this project still leaves me in disbelief.

The mere thought of not landing tour tickets and now the ATOY loss and it looking like the visuals have indeed been scrapped at this point... makes me ill.

Inshallah the visuals haven't been completely scrapped. Such an album really deserves rich and expen$ive visuals.

I imagine the bullish tour sales have massively strengthened Bey's team's hand in negotiations with streaming services/distributors, assuming these discussions are still ongoing. If so, fingers crossed a deal is closed soon.

It’s the same day as the tour went on sale huh? America has a problem indeed, trying to get tickets!

 

[MC54]

Sunday at MetLife is a go! Phew!

'Cuff It' still refusing to budge/hitting new peaks nearly six months on from the trend sparking is just... amazing. It'll surpass 400m on Spotify in Feb.

I know singles are far from Bey's focus, but she could absolutely snatch another summer hit off the album. Sadly, it feels like 'Alien Superstar' will go down as the fan-favourite that never made it as a single, but I genuinely think 'Heated' would be an ideal choice. It is the go-to girl for summer parties/BBQs/club nights etc.

 

[Trouble in Paradise]

I mean I have never stopped regularly listening (the two cds I have played in my car are this and dance Fever) but the remix, Grammy mess, and continued cuff it smashing have got me discovering new things and falling in love with different parts. Right now Cozy is it!

Wait because I'm now seeing that 'America Has A Problem' has been added to a bunch of playlists?

Yes, it’s been gaining traction on TikTok.

 

[boom bazooka joe]

Wetter version maybe sampled Anytime Anyplace aka best song of all time?! Damn, let me listen.

 

[M3G4N]

I CANNOT believe Summer Renaissance + Pure/Honey collectively getting that little amount of streams?

Those last two songs are God-tier from an alberm that's already perfect.

No wonder Unholy went to number one + the latest Ava Max album flopped.

Well I met B’s publicist tonight and told her what I’ve always wanted to say to Beyoncé so there’s that.
