People coming after Beyoncé in the press for legally cleared samples is weird. It’s attention seeking and plays on the general public’s lack of knowledge. Right! Like did they do this with Drake and "Way 2 Sexy"?

I think this is weird too! Thinking about it more I've come to the conclusion that artists are sensitive about their work. They want to get paid for their work AND be respected. Pay is not the only aspect of respect here. they care more about the personal touches. They want the personal call where the other artist asks for permission (whether they are legally required to or not). That generation interprets that as a sign of respect. They are not coming after Drake or Taylor because they made that call and asked permission AND made sure folks were paid.
If this is not the reason then they are just doing it to hate on Beyonce.

it's simple. when it comes to sampling/cover. those original artists have the power, not the one wanting the sample/cover. so you can simply reject the sample/cover and make them work for it (extra money, call whatever) or you can demand call from artists directly. this happen all the time. so it's very weirdo to see them crying about it on media after they said yes. and now click bait article are all over saying "she didn't get permission", implying she stole it, illegal samplng..

btw, she released statement. “Permission was not only granted for its use, but they publicly spoke of their gratitude for being on the album,” For their song, there was no sound recording use, only the composition was utilized. Permission was asked of their publisher on May 11, 2022 and the publisher approved the use on June 15, 2022. They were paid for the usage in August, 2022.” "Furthermore, the copyright percentage of the Right Said Fred writers with respect to the use of “I’m Too Sexy” is a substantial portion of the composition. "Collectively the Right Said Fred writers own more than any other singular writer and have co-writer credit. This accusation is false."www.the-sun.com/entertainment/6389324/beyonce-right-said-fred-alien-superstar-row/amp/

I think they saw Kelis act out & then wanted to join in quite honestly lmao.
I’m Too Sexy is such a largely sampled/interpolated song I can’t imagine everytime they’ve given clearance for it’s use the person using it asked them personally. They probably just see a dollar sign and run with it.
The funniest part of it all is they are a one hit wonder with a MEME song from 30 years ago. Were they really expecting someone to get on a telephone and personally tell a sob story of how much that song means to them and how grateful they are to have it cleared for sampling?….
This is like LMFAO demanding that Stevie Wonder personally call them and thank them. The level of delusion is just.

What does anti vax have to do with righting credits. I can’t. You can be vaccine cautious and not be a weirdo. Anyway, yeah, they got their credit before they album came out and even said they were pleased when it came out. Ridiculous.

Upon further reflection this is my favorite Beyonce album. All of her others up to this point had a few (or a lot) of songs I just don't care for.

I had a dream last night that ALIEN SUPERSTAR was the next single and it featured Kelly Rowland and Snoop Dogg. It was an urban remix that totally knocked.
I wish I could record dreams. Lol.

I'm glad "RENAISSANCE" is holding up so well on the charts despite no visual campaign. Since the album came out, it's all I listen to. I even fall asleep listening to "RENAISSANCE".
It's Beys best album for sure. The production quality and flow of the album is something magical. This will be a classic Beyonce album that people will be going back to listen to even 20 years from now.
My top 3 albums of the decade so far are definitely "RENAISSANCE", "Fine Line" and "Future Nostalgia". Those 3 albums never get old.

She has to at least get one Grammy for this lol. Imo, this might be her year. Everything was well received.

B'Day won Best Contemporary R&B Album in 2007.
"Ring The Alarm" and "Deja-vu" were nominated but didn't win. "Irreplaceable" was nominated for Record of the Year and "Beautiful Liar" was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration w/ Vocals in 2008.

I really hope everyone here is right and she gets some Grammy love next year. This album has album of the year written all over it but stranger things have happened. *crossing fingers and toes*

I still think this is the album that gets her AOTY. The competition isn't that strong unless Adele coasts her way to another win somehow and she has that overdue narrative.
But I do think they need to push the album a bit more or it will get lost in the shuffle towards the end of the year.

I wish "Energy" were a more cohesive track. I really like the first verse that flows in from "Cuff It." I wish this song was more than of a smidge of 80s-inspired production and then abbreviated Afrobeat feature interlude before "Break My Soul" begins.

DJ's are receiving "COZY" remixes, allegedly. They did a similar thing with the "BREAK MY SOUL" remixes, launching them in clubs before making them available to streaming platforms, so I believe this might be true. Good for the dance album Grammy campaign I guess.

I swear to God if they don’t act on the hit that is Cuff It, I’m gonna lose it. If she’s saving the visuals, can’t you just shoot an alternate music video?! This could be her next #1 and it KILLS me that it’s not being promoted to its full extent. COME ON.

Why wouldn’t they take advantage of what Cuff It has done on its own at this point? We’re about to go into the holiday freeze and they have a hit that could take them through the holidays if they gave it a slight push. Even releasing the visuals would give it the boost it needs.
