This is bad! I wish she would go back to doing pop music.

I mean, this is definitely still pop and Renaissance is one of her best albums, but okay!

I love how as folks are starting to go "I miss the old Bey" I'm over here like "I finally get the hype"

I was afraid because of y’all’s reactions but this is actually ****ing good? I love how strong she sounds, the only thing I’m not a huge fan of is that the song just kinda dies by the end, that beat at the beginning is too good not to revive for the last chorus.

It’s crazy how Taylor swift and Beyoncé are just dropping more music and releasing their concert films ……. Like while on tour ? Or near the end of the tour ? Movies and streaming platforms? They really taking advantage of the space for pop girls rn.

B was clearly having fun on this track, but after first listen I don't really know how I feel.

I miss those days when her songs had at least some kind of meaning, now it's all me me me, I'm the queen, it feels like Blue Ivy is writing her lyrics

TBF this album she's referencing ballroom culture which is all about me me me, because it was a place for queer people to feel themselves in a world that didn't accept them so it checks out for the album that the lyrics are self love or I'm the queen type things rather than more personal songs.

I wish I could vogue so bad 😭

[phantasmas 9,927]

the first half gets me pumped but that second half has me like

 

[Bling 31,039]

The first half is horrible, jarring and unnecessary. The second half is better, but just ok. 

Surprising because I love the album start to finish but this feels like filler. 

[phantasmas 9,927]

I wanna be up in the club shouting the 2nd half so bad 

and I cant wait for the ballrooms girlies to remix and chant all over it too

So her last two albums? Lemonade and Renaissance both have incredibly complex and layered meanings both in their discussion of black culture (both albums) and queer culture (Renaissance specifically). In addition, Lemonade also talks in depth about her marriage struggles. 

If the meaning passed you by then I do highly recommend you dig into lyric analysis and breakdowns of both albums because the suggestion they’re about nothing is missing the entire grand complex statement both albums make.

To stan an artist and be on a website dedicated to an artist who’s so culturally literate, Gaga’s fans really don’t understand anything that isn’t dance pop aimed at white people. 

Not only the illiteracy of genre and culture this website has but the complete lack of desire to learn is so frustrating. If you don’t get a track then maybe take 10 precious minutes out of your day to do some research about where that sound comes from, the history behind it. 

Get out of your radio dance pop bubble every once in awhile.

I don't think a non queer artist can say much about queer culture, especially black queer culture, since the beginning I felt that this album was more appropriation than appreciation, Bey is not queer, she didn't do much for queers, especially black queers.

I read the lyrics, I do this with every song or album that I listen to, I don't there is much deep in songs like Cuff It or Alien Superstar, even America Has A Problem, despite it's title, it a very shallow song..

I think this is a very arrogant take on the people in the forum.

Most of the people here listens to any genre of music, to many different artists and different songs, from pop dance to hip hop, rock and even classic music.

hip hop and R&B did not start with Beyonce, I can name so many artists with better lyrics and better songs than her through the whole history of these genres. Just an example, Janet's Son of Gun, the album version, is by far a more complex song than any song on Renaissance.

 

Beyonce is actually THE radio friendly R&B singer that white people are willing to listen to
