My 11-yr-old son has been hounding me ever since the Super Bowl about going to see B on tour. "I've never even been to a concert!," he pleads. So guess who's going to Atlanta on May 1? (I love that a Beyonce show will be a big father-son bonding moment.)

i'm taken aback by all of this, i honestly thought people were more professional in doing their jobs, but this boycott thing is ridiculous, dangerous, and anti-free speech.
the people making the calls on these boycotts, do they think these actions will improve relations between the police and the community?
boycotting a popular singer for political reasons is bullshit. serve and protect motherfuckers.

Lemonade's now on Spotify, with a demo of what eventually became "Sorry" appended at its end (and which is possessed of a lot less braggadocio and a lot more vulnerability than the final track - it's closer in sound to "Love Drought" or something her sister might make)

I would love to know why Rebirth Brass Band doesn't get any publishing for the two songs that she uses parts from 'Do Whatcha Wanna' on (the opening and Single Ladies)https://www.beyonce.com/album/homecoming/credits/

Oh. After digging, it turns out Rebirth lifted that trombone line from a Con Funk Shun track. Goddamnit, brass bands. Too bad she didn't throw in the melody.

Now that a quick google search returns at least five articles on the cultural references in Homecoming, and they all start with New Orleans and Rebirth, I'm mad again. The bassline in 'Single Ladies' should have gotten some writing credit for sure.
Obviously the show is amazing, and it's great to see Les Twins on stage (even though they never really get to do their thing, but it's a Beyonce show I get it).
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 24 April 2019 15:59 (five years ago) link
the straight up documentary parts of the film are wonderful, i even managed to convert something beyoncé said into good writing advice for myself, but i kinda hope 1) there's a physical release 2) it includes a version of the show without breaks

the film dialogue interludes are slightly distracting but the album is really good
― dyl, Saturday, 20 July 2019 05:12 (four years ago) link
The thing I find really distracting is how much of a copy this is of Kendrick Lamars Black Panther soundtrack, except that one seemed pretty personal to him. I have no idea why Beyoncé would make a Lion King album, except that she's in the film. Some of the songs are good, though.
― Frederik B, Saturday, 20 July 2019 13:08 (four years ago) link
My main hope for this is "Brown Skin Girl" becomes a massive hit, so I never have to see Wizkid's entire career summarized as "Drake’s 'One Dance' collaborator" again
― rob, Saturday, 20 July 2019 15:40 (four years ago) link
i don't really care about it being a 'copy' of the black panther soundtrack - doing a film tie-in compilation/soundtrack album with more effort put into the curation and production than usual isn't really some wildly innovative idea. with the success of the black panther soundtrack i'm not at all surprised that others are doing something similar. there's not really a reason it needs to exist and i'd much rather a beyonce-does-afropop album as its own thing but since it does exist i'm glad it's quite good. it certainly seems to be by far the best thing related to the lion king remake.
"find your way", "jara ara e", "brown skin girl" and "my power" are the highlights
