Mer 61,772 Posted March 31 absolutely pissed that the standard black vinyl is $10 cheaper on Amazon AND HAS FREE SHIPPING. (https://www.amazon.com/Cowboy-Carter-Black-Lp-Beyonce/dp/B0CZ9JQV1C/) Since the Renaissance limited edition vinyl was actually limited, I immediately pre-ordered the non-cancelable "limited" Cowboy Carter vinyl on black vinyl - and paid $10 for shipping on top of that. Now it's on Amazon. The physical rollout for this album has been messy ngl. 6 Quote ⊹ (:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅) ⊹ 𓊔 I took the miracle move on drug 𓊔 ⚕️ The effects were temporary ⚕️ ⊹ (:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅) ⊹ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chemtrail 3,101 Posted March 31 I haven't seen anyone say it on here but ik a lot of people think she shouldn't have changed the lyrics for her version of Jolene and their reasoning is that it makes her a "pick me" or what ever but she clearly already addressed that side of the situation with Lemonade so she didn't need to do it again. Duh. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duh. I have been thinking a lot about if I like the lyrics change or not but I think it was a good move. I think Jolene is one of the saddest, most desparate songs ever written and no cover comes close to Dolly's version. By changing the lyrics, Beyonce really made it her own and suitable to her image as a self confident woman, so I think that approach is 100% justified. The song develops an own life by her rework. 8 Quote It was expensive watch it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some nice tracks, but too disco for my taste 🙈 just not my genre. On 3/31/2024 at 1:58 AM, Mer said: "Tyrant" is such an iconic song. Honestly this is some of Beyoncé's best work Fully agree. I loved the slight country touch of lemonade, which is my favorite album by her, so naturally I go crazy for this one 😍 especially as a country and Dolly lover ❤️ 1 Quote It was expensive watch it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barttttender 4,967 Posted April 2 Ok. I am OBSESSED with this album. Waking up to a beautiful sunny morning and listening to gentle, beautiful music like 'Protector' is almost a spiritual experience. I'm so so glad she chose country - it fits her like a fucking glove, and I've never been a bigger fan. You can also hear how all the instruments are natural, and not overproduced like most music nowadays. Almost feels like her and a couple of musicians in a good studio, jamming. That's my fav part. Real music, by a real artist. God damn, it's good! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chemtrail 3,101 Posted April 3 Ya Ya being one of the few missing (but essential) songs missing from the first pressings gives me even more hope Act III really is a rock album that she's probably still working on rn 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BethDufreneOnTheBayouByYou 8,832 Posted April 3 I love this album so much. I'm listening to CC and Renaissance back to back today and the transition from Amen into I'm That Girl is seamless 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NikoGo 60,800 Posted April 3 One thing I love that she does, that I wish Lana would do, is how she breaks up the songs into smaller pieces. My biggest complaint about The Grants is the 30 seconds of the girls messing up. I wish that was it’s own ‘intro’ and let The Grants be its own song. Like yeah, a good handful of the songs on this album are under a minute, but it works SO well and it gives songs (I feel) more replay value because you don’t have to listen to Dolly P to listen to Jolene 6 Quote "Don’t forget me" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does work well on Cowboy Carter, though. That being said, I think Lana could do wonders with that. Vintage sounds, radio announcements, small bits of poetry, a cappella... It's also something she hasn't done before. If this album had a few fast-paced songs, some cool interludes like that, and a few fire collabs, +Henry, Prettiest Girl etc, we'd be fed, and we'd be fed well. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
