Loved your review. I know that Tanner Adell is also singing on American Requiem. I LOVED Renaissance because I love disco and funk. This album, to me is the best thing she’s ever done. Lemonade was her Thriller to me initially. I’ve heard a few people say they’d like the album to be shorter. But nobody can agree on what could be cut. I’m the only person in my friend group that feels that Alliigator Tears is perfection. I’m not willing to cut any songs off of the album, but I skip Flamenco and Hands ii Heaven and I know those are favorites. I know a bunch of women who are already putting Protector behind long ass captions about their kids for Mother’s Day lol.

my current playlist is: american requiem 16 carriages smoke hour willie nelson bodyguard dolly p jolene daughter spaghetti alligator tears smoke hour ii flamenco the linda martell show ya ya oh louisiana desert eagle riverdance tyrant sweet honey buckin amen bonus: ii hands ii heaven I would cut the rest!

That’s all but 8 songs! So not bad at all lol. More than half the album. I think I agree that the album sounds less polished, but I think that’s what makes it so special to me. The somewhat randomness of the album and not knowing what will come next really gives me the feeling of listening to the radio, getting excited about a song, turning it up. Just vibing sometimes. Beyoncé is a perfectionist. While some of the musical choices may seem “safe” I think that having a track list be somewhat chaotic would’ve been challenging for her personally. But feels more authentic to the feeling she was going for. I’ll also die if the next album at least 40% old hillbilly rock.

I think the girls got crammed on one song because these songs are already 5 years old. I wish the girls all had a different song. I love 2 most wanted. I definitely didn’t want to see Taylor Swift. I didn’t understand Post Malone but I liked it.
