Posted June 16, 20187 yr Bey and Jay just dropped a joint album omgggg they apparently announced it on stage?! Exclusively on f***ing Tidal ofc kbMqWXnpXcA
June 16, 20187 yr So I assume they start these songs on tour as well? Kinda disrespectful to the first few tourdatea :') Im not here for this. I want a Bey album, Jay's voice makes my skin crawl
June 16, 20187 yr I'm here for the joint album but a massive eye roll at it being exclusively released to tidal.
June 16, 20187 yr Yes was announced at the end of tonights show - they debuted a clip which I got most of on my iPod!
June 16, 20187 yr Damn. Was there really demand for a joint album? Wish it was just a single to promote the tour when it started, and then be done with it. EDIT: listen to the album. Very average. Edited June 17, 20187 yr by Euphorique
June 17, 20187 yr ^^ there was from me and Apeshit does not disappoint *.* Bey rapping was such a surprise and Jay sounds better on this than he did on most of 4:44. Quavo & Offset ad libs weren’t necessary but that’s Pharrell all over :P Worth getting Tidal for tbh
June 17, 20187 yr The reason why her 2013 reinvention was so powerful was because she did the unexpected in a lot of aspects. But now, 5 years later, secrecy, unconventional releases and a projection of grandeur is what we've come to expect from her. The joint album is whatever, but I feel like if her next album follows that path, people will grow tired. I'd love to see her switch it up next time.
June 17, 20187 yr Last November, JAY also told The New York Times that a project with Bey started coming together as they worked on 4:44 and Lemonade. “We were using our art almost like a therapy session,” he said at the time. “And we started making music together.” He explained that, because Bey’s music was progressing more quickly, Lemonade ended up coming out “as opposed to the joint album that [they]were working on.” Lemonade, 4:44, and Everything Is Love are obviously a trilogy and this being the culmination of their separate projects with a happy ending (Lovehappy :wub:). I wonder if the original plan was to release them closer together, maybe their separate albums at the same time, and then this whilst they tour together?
June 17, 20187 yr Didn’t see you'd already posted the video Liam :lol: It really was a moment last night announcing this. I do agree with some of the points it is unfair on some of the earlier shows but I am wondering whether it’s happened to try and attract more interest to sustain the tour after the initial complaints of it all being too samey came around.
June 17, 20187 yr I reckon it'll be the Lemonade strategy with the physical coming about a fortnight after release :(
June 17, 20187 yr So can you actually buy this anywhere?! You can buy a digital file of the album from the tidal website for £9.99
June 18, 20187 yr What’s the point of keeping the album off Apple/Spotify? :’) this is 2018 and I know Beyonce’s ego has been getting bigger and bigger lately but even Taylor realised it’s just silly now.

June 18, 20187 yr Her rapping about how she 'didn't give two f***s about streaming numbers' and then giving in and putting the album on Spotify is one of the most pretentious and embarassing things I've seen all year. The album is completely substanceless too, nothing of interest going on here other than Beyoncé constantly disillusioning herself that she's superior to everyone. Jay is the highlight here and that's saying something. Don't think I'll be going back to anything on here again.
