Some thoughts on the album:
I understand what Beyonce is trying to do here by creating a dance album. There some very good songs on here like plastic off the sofa and Virgo's groove. But outside of those few very good records the album as a whole is is just “ok” imo.
There’s very little appeal musically for us straight males. The further you get into the album you realize Bey just created another album for women and gays to twerk too. Subject matter is very bland and surface level. For someone who is labeled with an almost mythical black queen image her music has very little substance.
Kendrick’s music has so many more layers and depth to it, it’s crazy to think Kendrick has surpassed Beyoncé musically in nearly every way. I know it’s a strange comparison, but I consider Bey and Kendrick two of the top in their genre.
Solange also makes better music
