I find it hard to believe the twins as a source of inspiration is good news. Imho Blue and God Made You Beautiful are pure filler. But she did record a part of ST while pregnant. So there is some hope. I wasn't thinking songs tributing them necessarily but just more up-tempo, lighthearted material from her in general.

I said right after she lost AOTY maybe she'll give the 'Grammy bait' albums a rest. (Even though I FLOVE self titled.)

She worked her ass off to prove herself (when us fans knew she never really had to) to critics and literally got slapped in the face when it came to AOTY. I'm still angry about it. After she lost this year, it came to me that she needs to just have fun again. Although I will take another self titled ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

At this point, I hope she doesn't even submit any of her future work to the Grammy's. They don't deserve the attention they receive from her nominations/performances. I bet if she resurrected John Lennon/Michael Jackson/Elvis Presley and released a joint album with them, the Grammy's would still give album of the year to Beck/Adele/some inoffensive white artist.
In all seriousness, the Grammy's has clearly shown that there isn't anything she can do that will win her the top prize. She's had her blockbuster huge albums, she's had her left-field artistic breakthrough album, she's had 2 albums in a row that managed to be pop culture forces while earning the kind of critical success artists can only dream of. I use to be bitter about her being so overlooked, but I've come to realize Beyonce is just so above needed validation from award shows now lol. I don't think anything she does or has been doing for the last decade is for cheap validation like awards or #1 singles. She is an artistic force, it's very clear she cares about putting out work that pushes boundaries and leaves an impact. She's one of the few artists who I don't have any set expectations I'm hoping to get from her, I'm just excited to see whatever the hell she does next.

The Grammys doesn't owe her anything. She has the most noms of any artist, and what like 30 Grammys? It kills me how people think she's entitled to EVERYTHING. The R&B committee wanted nothing to do with her this year so I'm not surprised no one else does either. Who should've been nominated and WON was David Bowie.

Beyonce needs to focus on her greatest strength - performance skills. And then base everything around that.
She's at her most interesting when she adopts TinaTurnerism.
Simplistic, minimalist performance style, with great focus on athleticism, strength, stamina.
Her most recent artistic, theatrical approach bores me to sleep.

I mean, Beyonce doesn't need to do anything. She's doing just fine.
Would I love another B'Day from her, full of nothing but upbeat, funky numbers with her singing her face off? Hell yeah. But she's given me three amazing albums in a row now, so she can keep riding in her own lane and growing her artistry. I just hope we don't have to wait too long.

Beyonce's career is punk rock these days so it was probably on purpose.

I collect records and in my experience anytime a record has a defect and was pressed in limited quantities those records become sought after by the fan base in time.
For example, the original pressing of Thriller didn't have MJ listed as "co-producer" on the sleeve and those copies of Thriller are way more pricey than others that do. I can see that happening with this Beyoncé release.
