I can't be the only one who is not happy that this is the physicals album cover and not the cover with the horse? 😭

I think this is just the limited edition cover she's selling before the album drop and the standard editions will have the horse. I'm not UNhappy, but I think I would prefer the cover with the horse. I'll wait until it drops and get a standard edition or wait until the collector's edition and see what that's about. 

Spoiler

Even though I already bought more than one of the limited editions

Oh this cover is so much better than the other atrocity imo

See, I hope it's only one of the alternate covers cause I prefer the original better.

I'm tired of the all black background. Give us production value. Give us concept.

I understand wanting some more details to look at. However, the album and this project seems to be about reclaiming American music that originated from Black culture and has been "sanitized" and co-opted. She's emulating the statue of liberty while wearing a protective black hairstyle. The statue of liberty was gifted to us from the French. The sash has her mother's French family name that they got from "Beyoncé" being misspelled on several of her sibling's birth certificates and couldn't get changed because black people were lucky to even get birth certificates at the time. 

The concept is there, mama.
