Beyoncé’s delivery is what kills this song and makes it one of her best! I can’t believe someone would listen to this and wish she would go back to making dance pop hits. What? Why? See, the problem is that any time she releases anything and a detractor says something, there is like a mob of people claiming that the detractors want her doing dance-pop. I don't know many people who do. I know people who wish she would SANG again and use what got her this far. Most people are crying for another '4' or 'B'Day' - not 'Sasha Fierce'. It's like we're not supposed to say anything unless we think she (musically) walks on water.

The song feels timely and contemporary and very layered lyrically. There's a lot to unpack which is good. She sounds great and I like the slight country influence in the melody of the chorus.

It's like we're not supposed to say anything unless we think she (musically) walks on water. She clearly has not been in that headspace for years and all of her music since continues to move further from that sound. It’s fine not to like it but people dismissing it as “trendy” like it’s all boilerplate and there’s no actual thought or creativity put into the music she’s making now simply because it ain’t “Love On Top 2.0” is just shortsighted. I also don’t get the “shock” because, unless she pulls off another surprise release, there’s nothing in the current state of her career hinting at a return to that “pure” R&B sound so it’s never what I expect to hear when anything new from her comes along.

!!! Why am I just now seeing this?! Looks beautiful - are we sure it’s for The Gift? It seems a little weird to be released so much longer after the album drop. I see the album artwork in the video so i guess it is.

I just need videos for Already and BSG and I‘m happy. The album is so underappreciated.

WHY is Columbia certifying a Destiny's Child album and not a Beyonce album?? She has 2 catalog albums that could be re-certified.
RIAA.com:
DESTINY'S CHILD Title: 8 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS Certification Date: July 2, 2020 Label: COLUMBIA Format: ALBUM 1xP

Lemonade is just so fucking good. Before it’s time. Formation. I thought I couldn’t respect Beyoncé any more than I do, but she’s been fighting the fuckery and using her platform ahead of current movements. Artistically, politically, culturally on the right fucking side of history. Even her departure from “radio” and singles is so symbolic of fighting institutionalized racism.

Black Is King is quite possibly the best thing she’s ever done. I can’t wait to watch again.

Being in charge of your own career, making your own decision on THIS level must be liberating.
