February 12, 20241 yr I'm not sure this is going to be as much for me as the first Renaissance album was. I'm finding 16 Carriages kinda dull tbh. Texas Hold 'Em is better, definitely catchy enough but probably still not something I could see myself listening to really regularly. I initially felt it sounded like a parody of sorts, but then the more I think about it, the more I guess the first Renaissance album could have been viewed a little like that, it's just that I happened to enjoy the influences a lot more than I typically do country music.
February 12, 20241 yr I haven't returned to Renaissance Act 1 at all since 2022. If I could had gone to her concert, it'd probably be different, but without that it kind of came and went. Edited February 12, 20241 yr by Sour Candy
February 12, 20241 yr I honestly feel like 16 CARRIAGES is miles above TEXAS HOLD ‘EM. I’m excited for ACT II, but I was left wanting so much more from Renaissance ACT I. Loving the country vibes and I hope Part III is indeed the Rock inspired album.
February 12, 20241 yr I much prefer '16 CARRIAGES' to 'TEXAS HOLD 'EM'. 16 CARRIAGES is one of Bey's best written works in quite a while (probably since 'Lemonade')
February 12, 20241 yr This is very much Beyoncé doing Country and whilst not a bad thing, they’re both just like most other country songs in the aense that I will bop to them and like them, but I don’t think they’re anything particularly special as such and just perfectly fine and nice songs to listen to (and I’m not sure my opinion will change on them too strongly either way) If it wasn’t Beyoncé and just some up and coming country star trying to break through, I’m not so sure they’d get too far beyond a niche corner of online country fans The rock album that is rumoured??? YES PLEASE! Edit: TEXAS HOLD ‘EM is a cute bop!
February 12, 20241 yr I really like both songs. "16 Carriages" is very pretty and "Texas Hold 'Em" is already stuck in my head after 2-3 plays. :lol: Looking forward to the entire album!
February 12, 20241 yr I haven't returned to Renaissance Act 1 at all since 2022. If I could had gone to her concert, it'd probably be different, but without that it kind of came and went. Yeah I am the same, idk why because I really love the influences and listen to a lot of that music but I think I just kind of listened, I took 2 or 3 songs I liked and that was it I didn’t go back to it as much I did Lemonade and self titled.
February 13, 20241 yr There was and it never got used. I think the genre forum is perfectly fine tbh.
February 13, 20241 yr @1756953469712310279 :lol: LOLLLLLL :lol: I am loving Texas Hold Em, however 16 carriages is boring.
February 15, 20241 yr I'm in the '16 Carriages is much better than Texas Hold 'Em' camp as well. So good
February 15, 20241 yr I’m not really a big fan of Beyoncé apart from the I am Sasha fierce era and the follow up album but I really like the two new country tracks on iTunes. Is country the direction of her new album?
February 16, 20241 yr 'TEXAS HOLD 'EM' is such a damn BOP! So, SO goooood! It's addicting and whilst it's still nothing too special, I am absolutely having the best time with it right now!
