And the next cut from RENAISSANCE is "THIQUE". Do we agree? Personally, I think it's the correct cut. It's one of my lowest scores on the album and doesn't feel wholly... up there with the rest of the tracks left. It's still great, see the score, but it's not one I'm sad to see not make it further.
I'm sure this was discussed in the thread, but one of the producers behind the song, Hit-Boy, said this song's beat is actually from 2014. I'm sorry, but that's just insane to me... Imagine sitting on something like this for eight years. It just makes me salivate for whatever else is behind the vaults. Something like the visuals for this album perhaps?
Jokes aside, the beat on this is brilliant. It actually reminds me a lot of Billie Eilish's "bad guy", with those weird hypnotic sounds. Y'all know what I'm talking about. It's wild to think that this is from 2014 yet still sounds... current? It just goes to show how ahead of the curve Bey is. It doesn't sound outdated at all for a production that's nearly ten years old.
As we've all seen the tweets, the best bit of this song is when the spirit of Tinashe possesses Beyonce. It's a fantastic moment and one of the best on the album. It's one of the things I love about Bey, it's her ability to change her voice and delivery in these iconic ways. She goes from rapping to this gorgeous high register and it just fucking works brilliantly. There's an assertive nature about her entire delivery throughout the song that really sells it for me.
Also, she's sick for cutting this track from the tour.
@Trinu 3.0, our sole eleven giver, comments "I just know she made this one so I could have a soundtrack to bounce to at the beach xx". I should note, there was a GIF alongside this, but it has vanished from the internet.
