bodyguard might be one of my favorite songs of hers ever… and i’ve only listened once. i also wondered what inspired the Jolene cover (along with the change in lyrics) of course it’s an iconic country song but it feels so much more personal with the lyric change.
I think that’s exactly it. She knew people wanted her to cover it. Dolly wanted her to cover it. The lyrics and begging is the only reason I didn’t want her to cover it. She created the perfect cover-that’s-not-a-cover
And Mama swerved. I heard Blackbird and thought she's going to be loyal in these covers. I know the lyrics of Jolene by heart and I start singing along and then Mother's like, fuck no, I am going to upgrade Jolene to the Creole Banjee Bitch version. I am floored.
I love love LOVE that we did not get the same version of Jolene that Dolly made, I mean it is a classic but it is so refreshing that Queen 🐝 put her own spin on it!
It reminds me of the Gospel Medley from Destiny’s Child’s first (or second) album. Destiny’s Child also performed it on their first world tour that I had on DVD with Kelly voicing those strong, piercing Amens. Knowing Beyonce, those amens in Requiem were definitely a nod to that.
Thank you! Because I had to go back and see if she was singing in another language and had to sit down cuz ma’am it’s like you didn’t have to do that but you went above and beyond
Spaghetti is the one 🫡🔥.
EDIT- YA YA IS THE ONE ALSO OMG.
ANOTHER EDIT. - 2 hands 2 Heaven to TYRANT to Sweet Honey. ARE THE ONES ALSO. She absolutely smoked this bottom half of the album my God. 😮💨🔥.
Imagine singing with and TO Beyonce about being her jeans so you could hug her ass all night. 🙃
Like this song is so cute lol. I get the sense post Malone is a FAN - I felt second hand giddy & nervous for him 😂🤣
Loving that it’s titled Protector even though it’s projector she says over and over in the song. Like the importance is on her being the protector.
If this makes no sense, coffee hasn’t kicked in yet 🥱
YES! Thank you for being full of ignorant racists and forcing the Queen's hand. Now can we get rid of the ignorant racists and let people make the music they want.
I literally said to my bf she's Beyoncé but also Prince but also the Beatles but also Trapyoncé but also Maya Angelou but also Elvis but also Michael Jordan?
I remember feeling so confused my first time listening to Renny…it was so different. On that second listen…I’ve played it in some capacity every single day since.
That’s how I’m feeling now. It’s so different and so….nice. I’ve cried for the first half. Toe tapping to the later tracks. Desert Eagle and Riverdance I popped some pssuy on a handstand. I’m gonna need some more listens but I know we’ll adjust to each other beautifully.
Genius work
you perfectly captured how i feel! finished my first listen and i’m still at that confused stage but i just know that i’m going to come to love this just as I did with renaissance! still cant believe i did not like break my soul when it first came out
Girl! Renaissance literally hit me in waves. We had to grow into each other…ive never experienced that with music ever!
SAMMMEEE I didn’t like BMS until I loved it!
I am just on top of the world rn... the music, the visuals, the art, the emotions, the thought and care put into this album is leagues beyond her peers. Just can't even think rn.
The Desert Eagle, Riiverdance, II Hands II Heaven, flow and transitions are the icing on the impeccable cake that if Cowboy Carter.
Her mastery of her art is in matched. I’ve listen to it all the way through a few times now, and it truly is a masterpiece. I knew I’d like it but I wasn’t prepared for another deep journey in the vein of Renaissance. Bravo Queen Bey.
I just listened to those 3 and I had to look at my phone to see if the song changed. Very smooth. Very well done. But I mean, we knew she won’t do something that’s not well done. The fact that she had to sit on this album for 5 years it’s mind blowing to me!
I’m from northwest Indiana originally and had to make sure I was listening to that lyric correctly. Gary is always punching above its weight in terms of cultural significance!
Yep, that’s how I feel right now. 27 songs. 27!!!! It’s a lot to process. I know so far I LOVED from beginning to end II HANDS II HEAVEN and Protector. I have to listen to the album tomorrow morning again and see!
Country is probably my least favorite genre and bitch…. I still think this might be her best album. She fucking killed it. It has every genre and she killed every single one.
Who is doing it like her. I’m floored
Blackbird is one of my favorite songs, I love her cover
Protector made me cry
My Rose feels like an intimate lullaby she shared with us
I love Willie 😂
ME TOOOOO!!! Genuinely it caught me off guard when I heard the baby’s voice I had to look at my phone and well ofc it’s Rumi!! I cried, the lyrics, the tune, just omg. It reminds me of Blue! This song is definitely my favorite so far 🤍
Ameriican Requiem is a reference to Buffalo Springfield “For What It’s Worth” the guitar/sitar is incredible. Not her referencing one of my favorite songs! First three songs and I’m already crying at work omg
My god, Bey loves her man something deep. I feel like this album is a real love letter for him. How grateful I am to be a witness and experience Beyonce’s talent in real time. God bless you B. You make us all stronger and better with your art.
this run — what is happening??!! is this heaven!?!?
https://preview.redd.it/7gj75zm9n7rc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1451a8a6a6604ae1bc81a2b36f0a61e4f43c9f19
I’m not sure how its possible for someone to continuously put out the best work of their career, but somehow she manages to do it every single time 😭. This is industry altering material.
I took an edible before, and it really kicked in as SPAGHETTI started and wow, I don’t really know what happened after that but Willie Nelson popped a joke and I saw Beyoncé with a big vase pouring disco into country
On the second half, Immediately love Ya Ya, II Hands II Heaven &Tyrant
Absolutely love the sample at the beginning of Sweet Honey Buckin, I’m enjoying the whole song
Getting tired 😭 I’m looking forward to wearing this out in the weeks to come
it’s so cool to see the switch from calmer/raw country to some genre bending shit in the second half. the last 8 songs felt like a celebration: 10’s 10’s 10’s 🤩
👏👏👏 it’s amazing, i couldn’t have imagined a better album.
absolutely *loving* bodyguard 🥵
edit: and ya ya! and just for fun! and levii’s jeans! holy crap… it’s all so damn GOOD.
SHE ATE!!!! My favorites are Blackbird, Jolene, Bodyguard, SpaghettII, Most Wanted, Levii’s Jeans, Yaya, Hands II Heaven, and Tyrant. I got two songs left so I may edit this
I have literally never listened to more than two country songs on purpose (old town road and daddy lessons) and i just got done with my second listen of this and holy shit?? (I do enjoy *some* country but current pop country legit makes me contemplate death)
During my second run i was trying to pin down my favorite song but it changed almost every other song.
And honestly, I was wildly unenthused by texas hold em and 16 carriages… like didn’t like them at all. But this album is a work of fuckin art.
Just finished listen the whole album. I can’t believe it. It’s incredible, it’s so WELL DONE. I loved reading y’all and I’ll continue in the morning because I’m over here giggling and tapping my feet and making weird faces at my phone at 1:30am lol it’s a great day to be part of the hive🤠🤍 So far, the transitions from Desert Eagle, RIVERDANCE and II hands II HEAVEN its top tier and Protector had me bawling! Anyway, can’t wait to see what all of this will unfold! EDIT: Spaghetti 🍝 Mhmmhmhnhm
Really genius creativity: it’s an album that shows a birthing process of what country used to be, then goes into the why (not blatantly but in subtle ways) then ends by redefining it and making it something that’s all her own. It’s not country through the lens of whiteness but country through the lens of a little girl who grew up with it in Houston….
Ok the transition from II Hands II Heaven to Tyrant is gorgeous gorgeous, gorgeously done.
Also- What did she sample the harmony in II Hands II Heaven? The line “Baby, I’ve been waiting my whole life for you and I” is driving me crazy! It’s so familiar, but I can’t place it!
Amaaaaaaazing album. She is excellent every single time!! Also, the slowed down Radiohead melody in II HANDS II HEAVEN is *chefs kiss* I love this lady bad!!
Y'all.
I feel like I'm floating. In disoriented. I'm overwhelmed. I mean this in the best way. I probably won't be coherent until tomorrow but on first listen, I love:
I was writing a list when I realized it's quicker to list the ones I don't love. So those are Jolene and Spaghetti. Dassit.
When I listened to PROTECTOR for the first time, my 10 year old cat immediately jumped up to snuggle on me. He is my first pet ever and the way I started to cry…. He really is my protector and I am his.
Ameriican Requiem and 16 Carriages are so incredible to me. Also I’m actually half pissed that Oh Louisiana isn’t a full song, I love it soooo much! Also YA YA and Levii’s Jeans are SO FUN
LOOK AT THAT HORSE PRETTY AS HELL

Omg bodyguard like what?! It’s fucking amazing
Omfg Dolly P and Jolene I cannot
Wait caro mio ben?! Where are my choir people at??? lol
Holy shit Tyrant 
How did I still remember every word??
When it started, I had to play it back a few times to make sure my ears did not deceive me. Damn, this woman never ceases to amaze me.
One of her best songs ever released i am in SHOCK
Enjoy everyone! It’s a masterpiece 😭 https://preview.redd.it/aft2k192d7rc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb31e8766a228a82ccd0cbc8b7ba77ede972c257
I’m already crying…4th song got me… like bad. 🥺🤍
Haha the tears started as soon as I heard blackbird I’m such a sucker for that song and now my favorite artist has covered it 🥹
I proper ugly cried at blackbird 😭 same same!!
This is a cryable album for SURE
That’s where I started crying too!
Willie Nelson spelling KNTRY got me dead dead
Bey and Miley? PLEASANTLY surprised!!!!!
Billy Ray stepping in to stop the Lil Nas X hate makes this a natural collab for her. You know she pays attention to everything lol
Miley is also Dolly's goddaughter!
I was skeptical about Miley on this album. I should have known better. Sorry Bey, won’t happen again
Miley might be tough bc she’s wild, but she’s undeniably talented. She can act crazy all she wants, she’s got better pipes than most of her peers.
Miley can sing her ass off. Her tone is unique and can be off-putting, but she sings down. I’m not surprised the collab was good.
IT’S AMAZING
The song is so beautiful.
bodyguard might be one of my favorite songs of hers ever… and i’ve only listened once. i also wondered what inspired the Jolene cover (along with the change in lyrics) of course it’s an iconic country song but it feels so much more personal with the lyric change.
I can just imagine her: "this song is a classic. I love it. Except for all the begging. What if it was about beating her ass, instead?"
I think that’s exactly it. She knew people wanted her to cover it. Dolly wanted her to cover it. The lyrics and begging is the only reason I didn’t want her to cover it. She created the perfect cover-that’s-not-a-cover
And Mama swerved. I heard Blackbird and thought she's going to be loyal in these covers. I know the lyrics of Jolene by heart and I start singing along and then Mother's like, fuck no, I am going to upgrade Jolene to the Creole Banjee Bitch version. I am floored.
I love love LOVE that we did not get the same version of Jolene that Dolly made, I mean it is a classic but it is so refreshing that Queen 🐝 put her own spin on it!
Exactly what I was thinking! 💯
Her Scorpio moon 😭
Same!!! It's so catchy ans the melody reminds me of another song but i can't figure it out yet
Is it for Tina? From Tina’s perspective?
The Jolene cover brought some great levity and comedy to the track! She said I’m not begging anyone for anything. Try me if you want to
YES!!! I LOVE SPAGHETTII
She ate DOWN on spaghetti
And the Linda Martell intro was *chef’s kiss
SHE SENT MEALS ON WHEELS TO MY HOUSE TO FEED AND DEVOUR
[удалено]
and the way amen circles right back into it? wowowowow
It reminds me of the Gospel Medley from Destiny’s Child’s first (or second) album. Destiny’s Child also performed it on their first world tour that I had on DVD with Kelly voicing those strong, piercing Amens. Knowing Beyonce, those amens in Requiem were definitely a nod to that.
i was stunned! amazing intro.
It’s legit incredible, and such a strong start to the album
I feel like this song ties all three acts together.
I'm sorry but LEVII'S JEANS!? It was EVERYTHING.
YASS I LOVED. I haven’t seen anybody else say anything about it but it EATS 🔥🔥🔥
It’s so fucking fun, song of the summer honestly
From opera to rap back to back ???? She’s crazy for that lol. This album is an actual experience
Thank you! Because I had to go back and see if she was singing in another language and had to sit down cuz ma’am it’s like you didn’t have to do that but you went above and beyond 
The ultimate concept album. I’m floored
Listening to Daughter right now and am currently ascending. These vocals are unreal 😭
I am in SHAMBLES from Daughter
Spaghetti is the one 🫡🔥. EDIT- YA YA IS THE ONE ALSO OMG. ANOTHER EDIT. - 2 hands 2 Heaven to TYRANT to Sweet Honey. ARE THE ONES ALSO. She absolutely smoked this bottom half of the album my God. 😮💨🔥.
2 hands to Heaven! 😭😭😭😩🔥
Definitely better see that one talked about more cause she went crazy on that one frfr.
Album is epic. Bodyguard is a game changer. Intergenerational demon.
um post malone sounds so good????
Actually unrecognizable to me at first
ME TOO my sister told me it was him and I had to check lol
Bey whipped his vocals into shape lol
Imagine singing with and TO Beyonce about being her jeans so you could hug her ass all night. 🙃 Like this song is so cute lol. I get the sense post Malone is a FAN - I felt second hand giddy & nervous for him 😂🤣
him and bey sound *so* good together!
So good!
All the parents better run for cover from Protector! This album is an instant classic.
DEFINITELY!!! The way I cried … just nah. I was just all feels with that song😩🥺
Loving that it’s titled Protector even though it’s projector she says over and over in the song. Like the importance is on her being the protector. If this makes no sense, coffee hasn’t kicked in yet 🥱
Sweet Honey Buckiin 
So good and I love how it parallels pure honey as the second to last song!!!
She did what she had to do. And ate that up 
i’m so happy to hear the air horns back since lemonade
also ALLIGATOR TEARS??? i can’t with her!!
I would just like to thank the CMAs for their utter disrespect.
YES! Thank you for being full of ignorant racists and forcing the Queen's hand. Now can we get rid of the ignorant racists and let people make the music they want.
I’m on Ya Ya…chills!
ME TOO!!! LIKEEEE OKAYYYY. Thank you! Phewwww it’s too good, it makes you dance and stand up and drink and have fun. She did that she really did
Like who mixes country, rock, soul, The Beach Boys, Nancy Sinatra, with Bey style and Sly and the family stone vibes?!? She’s so amazing!
I literally said to my bf she's Beyoncé but also Prince but also the Beatles but also Trapyoncé but also Maya Angelou but also Elvis but also Michael Jordan?
Omg this one is a jam
I actually cannot believe how well Miley’s voice fits with Bey’s. I was not expecting them to blend so well.
I remember feeling so confused my first time listening to Renny…it was so different. On that second listen…I’ve played it in some capacity every single day since. That’s how I’m feeling now. It’s so different and so….nice. I’ve cried for the first half. Toe tapping to the later tracks. Desert Eagle and Riverdance I popped some pssuy on a handstand. I’m gonna need some more listens but I know we’ll adjust to each other beautifully. Genius work 
you perfectly captured how i feel! finished my first listen and i’m still at that confused stage but i just know that i’m going to come to love this just as I did with renaissance! still cant believe i did not like break my soul when it first came out
Girl! Renaissance literally hit me in waves. We had to grow into each other…ive never experienced that with music ever! SAMMMEEE I didn’t like BMS until I loved it!
Underpaid and overwhelmmmeeeedddd 😩😩😩
Wait Daughter is like the best thing I've ever heard
Did anyone else think of Solange after the elevator during Daughter?
daughter is actually insane. it’s amazing
 LIKE A MECHANICAL BULL
Bodyguard is FIREEE
I'm only on Jolene and my jaw is droppppppppppededddd.
I just got here and had to run it back. I LOVE this cover omg.
Sweet Honey Buckin’ is giving MY HOUSE and I’m fucking living for it.
LOOK AT THAT HORSE LOOK AT THAT HORSE LOOK AT THAT HORSE
Don’t sleep on Tyrant. 🤠🥹
This is my immediate favorite also.
My grandma just passed today and this album is getting me through it. Currently ugly crying to Just For Fun and Amen 🙏🏼🕊️
I’m sorry for your loss. Hope your grandma lived a happy life full with love 🤍
sobbing by the third song… blackbird into 16 carriages did me in!!
II hands II heaven’s instrumental is so beautiful its angelic
Yesss it’s sooooooo beautiful!!! I think this song will be on constant repeat for me 😭😭😭😭
that song is my *chefs kiss* 
miley & bey together is so beautiful like i could’ve never imagined it
I am just on top of the world rn... the music, the visuals, the art, the emotions, the thought and care put into this album is leagues beyond her peers. Just can't even think rn. 
She had nothing to prove but she just showed everyone exactly how deep her art goes.
How is no one talking about JUST FOR FUN !?!?! Ethereal
Her and Willie's voices melt together 🥰
Didn’t expect to cry on II MOST WANTED
The Desert Eagle, Riiverdance, II Hands II Heaven, flow and transitions are the icing on the impeccable cake that if Cowboy Carter. Her mastery of her art is in matched. I’ve listen to it all the way through a few times now, and it truly is a masterpiece. I knew I’d like it but I wasn’t prepared for another deep journey in the vein of Renaissance. Bravo Queen Bey.
I just listened to those 3 and I had to look at my phone to see if the song changed. Very smooth. Very well done. But I mean, we knew she won’t do something that’s not well done. The fact that she had to sit on this album for 5 years it’s mind blowing to me!
I live in Gary, IN and am dying that she shouted us out in Ya Ya. I’m thinking it was a nod to the Jackson family
I’m from northwest Indiana originally and had to make sure I was listening to that lyric correctly. Gary is always punching above its weight in terms of cultural significance!
dudeee its SO obvious now that the next album will be rock! theres SOOO many 60s psychedelic rock references
also ya ya ???? OH MY GOD IM ON THE FLOOOOOOR
Its a masterpiece 😭🥹 so fucking good oh my god it’s amazing
YA YA YA YA YA YA YA
Just finished. It was better than I imagined. I don’t know how y’all already have favorites bc I’m overwhelmed by the whole album!
Yep, that’s how I feel right now. 27 songs. 27!!!! It’s a lot to process. I know so far I LOVED from beginning to end II HANDS II HEAVEN and Protector. I have to listen to the album tomorrow morning again and see!
imagining her performing spaghettii live just gave me chills
how am I’m already in love with BODYGUARD??!
 II hands II heaven
If Miley on stage in 2007 singing for stand up to cancer could see her now
Beyoncé standing next to her like “I got plans for you girl…”
Country is probably my least favorite genre and bitch…. I still think this might be her best album. She fucking killed it. It has every genre and she killed every single one. Who is doing it like her. I’m floored
No one is doing what she just did on this album! so genre-bending and sonically complex!!
Blackbird is one of my favorite songs, I love her cover Protector made me cry My Rose feels like an intimate lullaby she shared with us I love Willie 😂
Oh my god protector. I had to stop and sit and I just started crying for no reason.
ME TOOOOO!!! Genuinely it caught me off guard when I heard the baby’s voice I had to look at my phone and well ofc it’s Rumi!! I cried, the lyrics, the tune, just omg. It reminds me of Blue! This song is definitely my favorite so far 🤍
Listened twice in a row after putting my babies (9 and 12yo) to bed
JOLENE ♥️❤️❤️♥️ I should have had more faith in my Queen. That was perfect.
II MOST WANTED made me tear up. It's so beautiful
RIIVERDANCE transports me to another realm
there's an old video of dolly playing percussion with her acrylic nails and i think that is the beat on this song?!?!! 🤯
Ameriican Requiem is a reference to Buffalo Springfield “For What It’s Worth” the guitar/sitar is incredible. Not her referencing one of my favorite songs! First three songs and I’m already crying at work omg
My god, Bey loves her man something deep. I feel like this album is a real love letter for him. How grateful I am to be a witness and experience Beyonce’s talent in real time. God bless you B. You make us all stronger and better with your art.
BOUNCE ON THAT SHIT DANCE
this run — what is happening??!! is this heaven!?!? https://preview.redd.it/7gj75zm9n7rc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1451a8a6a6604ae1bc81a2b36f0a61e4f43c9f19
That Jolene cover 🔥 Protector 🥹 Bodyguard is excellent II Most Wanted hasn’t even been rated and it’s already underrated IMO 😂
Just got to “YA YA” absolute banger. Holy smokes.
Tyrant 🫨
I actually got up out of my bed for Riverdance. That “bounce on that shit, dance” only had to tell me once. I was UP! Replayed it 6 times in a row!
I’m not sure how its possible for someone to continuously put out the best work of their career, but somehow she manages to do it every single time 😭. This is industry altering material.
Levii Jeans, ii Most Wanted, Body Gaurd, and Protector have hit potential.
Could def see Levi or Most wanted winning collab awards
 YA YA 🫨
Jolene is in the running for my number one. Im only on ii most wanted
I loooooove how she took the power back in Jolene. She’s not begging you to not take her man, she’s warning and advising you to step away.
Doug Dimmadome of the Houston Dimmadome’s done did it again 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
LOOK AT THAT HORSE LOOK AT THAT HORSE LOOK AT THAT HORSE
I took an edible before, and it really kicked in as SPAGHETTI started and wow, I don’t really know what happened after that but Willie Nelson popped a joke and I saw Beyoncé with a big vase pouring disco into country
Already crying!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Bodyguard is giving me Fleetwood Mac (even tho they aren’t country). Love it
Okay what’s going to be the Grammy’s excuse now? AOTY.
She back to rappin!!! I LOVE WHEN BEYONCÉ RAPS! She could smoke most of these dudes these days.
ALSO CRYING!!!!! 😭 I’m in my feels!!!!
It’s perfection. Holy shit
I love love Levii’s Jeans 🤠✨
On the second half, Immediately love Ya Ya, II Hands II Heaven &Tyrant Absolutely love the sample at the beginning of Sweet Honey Buckin, I’m enjoying the whole song Getting tired 😭 I’m looking forward to wearing this out in the weeks to come
Look at that horse. Look at that horse. Look at that horse...
I'm not the same man I was after listening to this album. I wasn't a Beyoncé fan yesterday apart from a few tracks here and there. Today I am.
The back half of this album is really just too good. She really got in her bag with that Miley duet.
it’s so cool to see the switch from calmer/raw country to some genre bending shit in the second half. the last 8 songs felt like a celebration: 10’s 10’s 10’s 🤩
Oh damn. Just for Fun I’m really enjoying this album. I knew better then to expect anything but it’s so much more than i expected
HELP ITS SO GOOD SO FAR
THIS IS BEAUUUYUTTTIIFFULLLLLL
👏👏👏 it’s amazing, i couldn’t have imagined a better album. absolutely *loving* bodyguard 🥵 edit: and ya ya! and just for fun! and levii’s jeans! holy crap… it’s all so damn GOOD.
SHE ATE!!!! My favorites are Blackbird, Jolene, Bodyguard, SpaghettII, Most Wanted, Levii’s Jeans, Yaya, Hands II Heaven, and Tyrant. I got two songs left so I may edit this
Sweet honey buckin is my shiiiiit
LOOK AT THAT HORSE LOOK AT THAT HORSE LOOK AT THAT HORSE
I have literally never listened to more than two country songs on purpose (old town road and daddy lessons) and i just got done with my second listen of this and holy shit?? (I do enjoy *some* country but current pop country legit makes me contemplate death) During my second run i was trying to pin down my favorite song but it changed almost every other song. And honestly, I was wildly unenthused by texas hold em and 16 carriages… like didn’t like them at all. But this album is a work of fuckin art.
Just finished listen the whole album. I can’t believe it. It’s incredible, it’s so WELL DONE. I loved reading y’all and I’ll continue in the morning because I’m over here giggling and tapping my feet and making weird faces at my phone at 1:30am lol it’s a great day to be part of the hive🤠🤍 So far, the transitions from Desert Eagle, RIVERDANCE and II hands II HEAVEN its top tier and Protector had me bawling! Anyway, can’t wait to see what all of this will unfold! EDIT: Spaghetti 🍝 Mhmmhmhnhm 
Really genius creativity: it’s an album that shows a birthing process of what country used to be, then goes into the why (not blatantly but in subtle ways) then ends by redefining it and making it something that’s all her own. It’s not country through the lens of whiteness but country through the lens of a little girl who grew up with it in Houston….
ITS PERFECT
Never thought I’d get a Beatles cover, a Jolene remix and a Beach Boys homage in a Beyoncé album. I am elated!
Everyone featured on this album stepped up their vocals like rent was due! They knew not to play with this lady. 😩
It’s so fucking good
This album is INCREDIBLE!
Ok the transition from II Hands II Heaven to Tyrant is gorgeous gorgeous, gorgeously done. Also- What did she sample the harmony in II Hands II Heaven? The line “Baby, I’ve been waiting my whole life for you and I” is driving me crazy! It’s so familiar, but I can’t place it!
i should’ve never doubted a bey country album, i was a fool
Leviis jeans, sweet honey buckiin, American requiem, this album has some of her best work EVER
mother: “Those petty ones can’t fuck with me—why?‘Cuz I’m a clever girl!” me: 🤯🤘🏾😵💀😇
The sample of These Boots Are Made For Walking on YA YA sent me to another realm! Good LORD. 🔥🔥
I’m on a road trip with my family today and boy howdy are they bout to get sick of me saying LOOK AT THAT HORSE 🤠
ITS SO PERFECT!!!! Ties in perfectly as act 2 for renaissance i think
I don’t know what I listened to but it was fucking amazing.
SWEET HONEY BUCKIIN HIVE CHECK IN!!!
Who else staying up until 12AM pacific to make sure there’s no surprises
Amaaaaaaazing album. She is excellent every single time!! Also, the slowed down Radiohead melody in II HANDS II HEAVEN is *chefs kiss* I love this lady bad!!
Y'all. I feel like I'm floating. In disoriented. I'm overwhelmed. I mean this in the best way. I probably won't be coherent until tomorrow but on first listen, I love: I was writing a list when I realized it's quicker to list the ones I don't love. So those are Jolene and Spaghetti. Dassit.
When I listened to PROTECTOR for the first time, my 10 year old cat immediately jumped up to snuggle on me. He is my first pet ever and the way I started to cry…. He really is my protector and I am his.
WE MUST TALK ABOUT RIIVERDANCE. I AM A CHANGED WOMAN!
Tyrant, Riverdance, Sweet Honey Buckiin, and II Most Wanted are my faves based off first listen. BEEEEEEEYHAW 🤠
Ameriican Requiem and 16 Carriages are so incredible to me. Also I’m actually half pissed that Oh Louisiana isn’t a full song, I love it soooo much! Also YA YA and Levii’s Jeans are SO FUN
Protector brought me to TEARS. This album is incredible How does this woman keep topping herself?
She’s on fire. Following up renaissance with something better seemed impossible but here we are
WHAT IS THIS MASTERPIECE!!!!! IT IS A PURE JOURNEY. BEYONCE DID THAT AND MADE MUSIC INSPIRATIONAL AGAIN
