Beyoncé - Break My Soul

[Sheena]

SLAP really is the word for it

 

[PercyPig]

Waiting for 8am so I can get this going on the Sonos (or when the downstairs dog starts barking away, whichever comes quicker)

 

[Jark]

it's very Beyoncé does gay club banger, ie. sounds expensive but it's not particularly fun or catchy

it does bang though!

[Cerro de Casa]

It was a Rhythm Is a Dancer/The Rhythm Of The Night mashup and unsurprisingly I LOVED IT!

He’s gay right ?

 

[AGinAg (38)]

A loving Robin S tribute is STILL BLACK!

 

[Rita]

FABULOUS! Queen Bey has well and truly delivered the goods.

I was thinking how what I really want from Queen Bey is a whole album where every song samples something from 90s female black house. Get her on the CeCe, the Crystal Waters, the SABRINA JOHNSON

 

[Rita]

Nah she’s a real artiste now.

The idea of Bey chasing a cheap hit to please queens stuck in 07 listening to Freemasons mixes and the Destiny's Child GH... it's a hard no from me. Keep serving us that ART Bey. We have Joanne for cheap gay bawps.

Come back to me in September. It ain’t gonna be Lemonade…

If she wasn’t going to cater for “the queens stuck in ‘07” she wouldn’t PANDER to them by making them go crazy when she performs the HITS at every concert. She went a certain direction with the last album but she will keep evolving. As I said earlier she doesn’t NEED to chase hits, but she does enjoy her status as QUEEN BEY.

Pretty much

 

[AGinAg (38)]

It's just nice to hear her voice on a pop track again!

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

My buss is bopping, but not yet torn apart.

 

[THEY CALL ME GAJA]

Turned it off, she really is one of the most boring popstars of our time. If you told me she was a robot I’d believe you. Call Kelly for dance-pop TIPS!

Up my street, up my house and hopefully up into Robin S's bank account (I assume that's the sample). What a bop to drop and make my email stop.

 

[VoR]

Oh yes this will do!

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

Solid, but not life changing.

 

[Christian]

I can’t wait for the u-turns that are incoming!

 

[PercyPig]

I can’t wait for the u-turns that are incoming!

Which way?

 

[Christian]

Which way?

 

[VoR]

I really hope this isn't a red herring in terms of the album direction, because Beyonce's 90s-inspired Confessions on a Dancefloor would be quite the summer treat.

 

[OutSynk]

The Fatman Scoop tribute act can’t even kill the vibe

It’s my highlight tbh.

 

[Music]

I’m all in, 10

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

I can’t wait for the u-turns that are incoming!

Will make Slo Mo look like an out of the gate fan fave!

I like this! Suspect it is also a bit of a grower

 

[FetchFugly]

The Scoop-esque bits (especially the intro) give an early 2000s radio rip mp3 feel.

8/10

 

[Loufoque]

I always knew Bey would serve the gays with another commercial bop

I love that she got Big Freedia back on board - this is as much of a serve as Formation, but just so different.

 

[dUbrodošli]

Have we had the single cover?

 

[Beverley]

It's...fine?

 

[Sheena]

Have we had the single cover?

Where Madonna leads at your Grandma’s door…

 

[Jark]

second listen - it's really quite a slog it just doesn't go anywhere...

feels like the production is doing double time to make up for the underbaked song itself

I like to think we are all enlightened here and do not hold a view that any female artist’s value to society is contingent upon age. The straight white male patriarchy is only too real and have not just kept down and added to the struggles of women but also our lgbtqa brothers and sisters for generations. Be the change you want to see.

Anyway, back to Beyoncé..

I wasn’t joking when I said it’s Big Freedia. It is her.

I only realised that later on

That name only ever brings PEANUTPEANUTPEANUTPEANUTPEANUTPEANUTPEANUT BUTTER to mind

 

[Christian]

Seven hours in and this is still getting better.

Don't make me cough up for live tickets Bey!

BAD LUCK BABE, you're clearly too old to understand meme references...

Is this a bit like when you initially hated that Harry Styles record?
