the lore of this album runs so deep it’ll be studied in universities for years just like self-titled, lemonade and renaissance have been. the concept of a drunken night listening to a radio station is SO well executed. she goes from lamenting about america’s horrid past, to reminiscing on her childhood, to struggling as a parent, to imagining her mother’s heartache and seeking revenge, to getting high and experiencing a bad trip, to falling in love and losing it then finding it again, imagining herself in a movie, coming down, picking herself up and leaving the bar. all of this executed while also paying homage to americana/folk and country’s black roots, weaving together interpolations and samples from a whole host of other collaborators. she really is a master of her craft AND a student of the past, always paying homage to those who came before her in order to push culture and art FORWARD. 34 years in this business and she ain’t slowing down yet. a LEGEND. many laymans will continue to appear foolish due to their lack of comprehension regarding this album and indeed her career as a whole
I've listened to a lot of reactions since this dropped. Been passing you over in favor of the longer more detailed ones. thought what can I get from a 30 minute reaction of an album that's over an hour long? Didn't have the energy for one of those long ones. So tonight you're the winner by default. Verdict: I like your scaled back, bare bones reaction. Sometimes, less is better. You made it through the whole thing & you made some friends along the way. Isn't that about all life should be about? The Queen has not been dethroned. There were a lot of very ugly people who wanted her to fall flat on her face. They been hating on her for years. Maybe it's because she's so beautiful or so talented or both. Maybe because they want her or are afraid their man wants her. The queen is a 1 man woman. She only has eyes for the God Of RAP! She has created history with Cowboy Carter. I grew up on country music. My favorite country song is He stopped loving her today by that rascal George Jones.My favorite album is Trio with Dolly P, Linda R & Emmylou H. Beyonce does country and she does it pretty damn well. Just another notch on her holster, I'd say.
1. American Requiem - lays the cards out on the table about the history of the country, bad ideas, good ideas, judgments. The racist judgment against her that no matter how skilled and qualified she is they will never accept her. Acoustic country: 2. Blackbird - Paul McCartney wrote it for black women during civil rights movement 3. 16 Carriages - tells the story of her childhood sacrifice 4. Protector - dedicated to her daughter 5. My Rose - dedicated to her son 6. Smoke Hour with Willie Nelson introduces the “Outlaw Western Country” portion of the album and begins to shape almost like a movie. 7. Texas Hold Em - meets a man and tells him to lay his guard down and be vulnerable 8. Bodyguard - she reveals her possessiveness over him 9. Dolly P - Dolly Parton actually requested Beyoncé cover this 2 years prior to the album coming out 10. Jolene - Beyoncé reveals her indignation over a woman trying to mess with her happy marriage and family 11. Daughter - she fantasizes over the murder of Jolene and then begins mourning in a haunting Italian Opera 12. Spaghetti - a social criticism towards American nationalists who used to call Spaghetti westerns made in Italy, unAmerican despite them hiring American actors, so she surprises everyone with a country accent rap song as a way to say, this is still country…. 13. Alligator Tears - calls out peoples fake criticism and victimization. 14. Smoke Hour 2 Introduces the Modern Pop Country part of the album 15. Just For Fun 16. 2 Most Wanted 17. LEVII JEANS 18. Flamenco 19. The Linda Martell Show - forewarns us that Beyoncé is warmed up and about to start doing what she does best, which is genre bending to perfection to create unique art. Let’s us know the rest of the album is for fun. 20. Yaya - displays historic successful fusion of genres that created rock 21. Oh Louisiana - Let’s us know that her Louisiana roots are what educate her musical choices Experimental Genre bending: 22. Desert Eagle 23. Riverdance 24. 2 Hands 2 Heaven 25. Tyrant 26. Sweet / Honey / Buckin 27. AMEN - a masterful close and social criticism that ties right back to the first song ❤️ MASTERPIECE!!!
