    What does the album sound like? Is it more pop country?

    hate being in the west coast sometimes bc I’m the last to hear :crai:

    It leans most heavy into country and folk but as she said, it's a BEYONCE album. There's two specific moments that discuss the idea of genre bending.

     

    As a Mexican American with deep southern ties, this is such a beautiful project for me. Her voice is the best it's ever been and there's so much to sink your teeth into--you can tell as always she did her homework + worked with great collaborators. The GP will obviously go for the more upbeat tracks, but the most country cuts are some of the ones I see myself going back to often. 

     

    A more than worthy follow up to Act I. I hope it gives an extra push in the industry to black country singers. 

     

    Also here's a nice quick read ("The daughter who eclipses the father" is a beautiful sentiment for this three act project): https://time.com/6960671/beyonce-black-country-legacy-essay/

    The catalyst for this album is still top 5% of Bey performances for me. I go back for the added band arrangments all the time. She looked and sounded stunning, plus incredible that she was in the early stages of being pregnant with Sir and Rumi. PLUS the political move to bring the Chicks with her--whew. So glad she's getting to stick a middle finger to anyone who questioned her right to be on that stage.

    Haunted Hause is one of my top 10 favorite Florence songs of all-time. It's so simple but yet so powerful yet so short yet so sad yet so beautiful yet so heartbreaking yet so addictive

    Do you remember winding your arm around my shoulder,
    As we wandered ‘round the hill?
    Now I’m in that fog forever

    :cryney2:

     

    On the topic of top favorite Florence songs...I will never ever shut up about  Wish That You Were Here. 

    The crisp, layered, yet whispered vocals on "You're disappearing all the time" give me shivers every time :krylie:

    The build up with the strings and the repetition in the second pre-chorus "I must stop time traveling, you're always on my mind
    You're always on my mind
    You're always on my mind" 

    :wowcry:

     

    I'm sure I've posted this exact same thought every other month for the past seven years but trust I'll keep doing it

    Lots of FN outtakes have come out but just today we've gotten 10: 

    I Wish I Never Met You (Frank Dukes, Louis Bell)

    Fun (Max Martin & Ali Payami, co-written by Savan Kotecha)

    When Ur Sober (The Struts, co-written by Tove Lo)

    Borderline (The Struts, co-written by Tove Lo)

    Celebration Cry (Fred Ball, co-written by Tove Lo) 

    Good Luck (Koz)

    Narcissist (Koz)

    Tumbling (Koz & MNEK)

    Fool Paradise (Greg Kurstin, co-written by Sia)

    Dancing With A Ghost (Fred Ball, co-written by Tove Lo)

     

    Celebration Cry's chorus sounds like Act of God, wonder which came first. The melody is catchy, so I see why she wanted to make it work.

    Kind of hilarious the standard she has set for herself. She is nominated for a Golden Globe, has a new song that was critically praised, is fighting against the Christmas wave yet and still succeeding yet people still want to call her lazy and a flop.
     

    it’s truly fun to be a fan of her because she’s not stopped putting out content of one form or another since 2019. All while going through two big breakups because of her work ethic. 2024 is going to be insane for her and I’m so excited.

    So far seen the film twice--absolutely her best concert film so far. The Uncle Johnny segment had me crying so much. My first viewing was also in Dolby and I actually think it's worth it since you feel the songs a lot more as if you were at the show. It's also so nice to notice details and sounds I didn't during my two shows. What a privilege to witness greatness  :cryney2:

    The fact that this era (fingers crossed that no new virus kills us all) will have the budget and rollout that FN was robbed of :cryney2:  These were some of the most pleasant four years of music fanboying for me thanks to Dua. I am so ready for what she's been cooking up.

    Ok but the AI needs to stop using her 2012 face 

    It just makes me think about the unimaginably quick rise to fame that she had. Lana is truly one of the first (successful post) viral singers and 2012 Lana will probably always be the most searched version of her.

    The chorus of I'm A Ruin isn't one of my favorites but the verses and pre-chorus might be one of my most replayed Marina moments. The way IaR and Blue capture nuance relationship dynamics so perfectly is just phenomenal

     

    I've had my share of beautiful men
    But I'm still young and I want to love again
    It's difficult to say goodbye
    And easier to live a lover's lie

    :cryney2:

    And I've tried to say
    "Babe, I'm gonna ruin you if you let me stay"
    You still mean everything to me, to me
    But I wanna be free

    Does anybody have any tips for securing tickets :lange: it’s gonna be hell

    If you don't initially get tickets, I've actually gotten as many from the week of show. As much as price gauging does happen, I find that there's always good prices once the initial rush to get tickets subsides and people's plans change. I've bought my front row Marina, Dua, and Beyonce tickets all months after they went on sale. Obviously still try to get tickets to be safe, but idk many shows that are actually sold out until day-of
