I’m not sure what you’re describing and what OT is asking about are the same thing. They’re not talking about one song transitioning into another, they’re talking about one song have two different distinct parts Hard Feelings/Loveless from Melodrama or, for a Billie example, Happier Than Ever. 

I know it's not the same thing but I just thought I'd point it out anyway as that part was much more obvious to me. It's like she switched it up purposely so that she could lead into a next song transition.

It's more musically complex. The idea that a song can only contain one verse melody and one chorus is just a product of the lack of experimentation in most pop music. As with symphonies, which are made up of multiple movements, pop songs can vary their melodies and musical compositions throughout. There's precedent for things like this in songs such as "Bohemian Rhapsody."

It’s not two songs though. I liked how it worked out on this album. A number of them work really well and still are about the same topic and telling the same story before the transition. I wished a long time ago for more music like this where songs could change it up more rather than just repeating the same chorus 300 times or songs being a bit stagnant. Beyonce does this a few times on Cowboy Carter and Renaissance. Also I thought songs flowing into each other with a seamless album would be amazing and Beyonce delivered that with Renaissance and to a lesser extent Cowboy Carter.

And self titled, too.

Honestly, I think on a purely  practical level it satisfies audiences’ cravings for fuller songs while contending with their short attention spans LOL Beyoncé has also mastered it pretty well at this point. I don’t see it necessarily going away anytime soon. In fact, I think we’ll see a lot more terrible uses of it that’ll muddy great uses of it like Billie and Beyoncé and then* the trend will be run into the ground lmao

honestly i kinda love it, lana does it quite often too

why should a song be stuck to the conventional structure of 3 minutes of verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus

Sometimes it's annoying if I only like one of them like the end part of L’AMOUR DE MA VIE, or there's a Melanie Martinez one which does the same thing and I originally thought it was like a snippet or teaser for a completely separate song
