IT'S A LITERAL FUNERAL MASS IN UNDER 6 MINS. LOVE IT. It's structured like a Church service with a clear Opening Hymn, Sermon, Closing Hymn structure, and specifically a Black or Southern Baptist church when it comes to the Sermon portion. A lot of people realize that requiem means funeral mass and what the song means about laying the old ideas and biases to rest but no one is pointing out that the song itself is quite literally a full funeral mass, start to end. During the sermon portion there are vocal interjections as a choir would with a preacher in a call and response sort of way and also preaching chords. IT IS INGENIOUS & BRILLIANT! A clever girl indeed.

I turned 73 yesterday. Saw the Beatles live twice in my tweens. Went through a long hippie phase in the 60s. Got completely engulfed in punk in the 70s and post-punk in the 80s. In a lifetime of listening to great music, Cowboy Carter has grabbed me and won't let me go. This album is SUBLIME. Lemonade turned me into a Beyonce fan; Cowboy Carter clinched me as a fan for life. Long live Queen Bee!

I feel like Beyonce may be following in the footsteps of country legend Ray Charles. Genius black singer/songwriter of the 60s. In the early 60s, he crossed over from an already successful career in gospel, R&B, and jazz, and moved on to soul, then consciously took elements of all of them to country music, with his landmark album Modern Sounds of Country and Western. Like Beyonce, he introduced fans of the other genres to country & western music. Like Beyonce, he collaborated with many other popular artists. He worked Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, Hank Williams, as well as Billy Joel and eventually Van Morrison. What an amazing cross section of artists. I think it is so damn cool that Willie Nelson collaborated with Ray Charles in 1985 AND with Beyonce in 2024. Beyonce is a genius, as was Ray Charles. I could go on about their similarities and potential contributions to musical and societal integration, but I’ll just say this. I am learning to appreciate Beyoncé’s music more as I listen to and study this masterpiece of an album. She is sharing her gifts with us, like so many before her. And I appreciate it.

Each of those albums represents a different phase in Beyoncé's artistic evolution and has left a significant impact on popular music. Beyoncé's ability to reinvent herself with each release while maintaining her signature style and authenticity is what makes her one of the most influential artists of her generation.

Nah, it seems pretty straightforward. Beyonce is a fabulously wealthy, successful woman, but she still needs to show that she "struggles". So, she and her 12 co-writers create a vague enemy who tried to hold her back. But, her own awesomeness eventually saved her!

I feel like Beyonce is following in the footsteps of country legend Ray Charles. Genius black (blind) singer/songwriter of the 60s. In the early 60s, he crossed over from an already successful career in gospel, R&B, and jazz, and moved on to soul, then consciously took elements of all of them to country music, with his landmark album Modern Sounds of Country and Western. He was told, “The people who listen to country don’t want to hear YOU sing it, and the people who like to listen to you don’t listen to country.” Many artists consider him to be the most important influence on the evolution of country music. Like Beyonce, he introduced fans of the other genres to country & western music. Like Beyonce, he collaborated with many other popular artists. He worked Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, Hank Williams, as well as Billy Joel and eventually Van Morrison. What an amazing cross section of artists. I think it is so damn cool that Willie Nelson collaborated with Ray Charles in 1985 AND with Beyonce in 2024. Beyonce is a genius, as was Ray Charles. I could go on about their similarities and potential contributions to musical and societal integration, but I’ll just say this. I am learning to appreciate Beyoncé’s music, and culture, more as I listen to and study this masterpiece of an album. She is sharing her gifts with us, like so many before her. And I appreciate it.
