I wont lie. B hit her musical niche with this one. She came out of the ivory tower and made a album that not just fags could like.

Her brand and her music aren't interconnected though. Her brand doesn't guarantee that people will check for her music. This album is the prime example of that. Her last album had far more promo and this album is about to do more than that album's first week. If that's the case, every activity involving her and her music is promo. I mean, the commercials featuring songs intended for the album >>>>> her touring. An artist on tour isn't promoting a new unless it's a tour for that particular album. Otherwise, it's just a tour. It's not like she's giving out release dates or performing new songs from the album. The people are just getting treated to old songs, covers, and possibly some new material that may or may not make the album. In this case, the new material she did on tour didn't make the album. You can't really label a tour as promo unless it's a tour in support of a particular album in which the artist actually performs songs from that album.

It doesn't matter how rabid an artist's fan base is, fans are always salivating for new music from the time that it's released until the artist drops something else. The point is Beyonce herself didn't promote anything. The music did.

Breh, you really need to stop posting nonsense. Of course her music and her brand are connected. What the fukk is she talking about in this album?, being a mom, fukking her husband Every single photo released to the press is calculated. Her brand is she is a safe singer who has a powerful husband and is a mom. People losing their minds right, now I can guarantee when she has another tour, maybe after Feb, them shyts is going to be sold the fukk out. She is probably going to be on every fukken talk show until then, talking about how she sold 1 million with no promotion. And because her music and her brand are connected, she aint ever going to do the gay stuff, that faux lesbian shyt you saw, is as far as she is going to go.

For the second thing that is bolded, she just sang XO live when she was Chicago, so yeah she is definitely doing music from this album.

@MikeBrownsJob putting in work dude would be one of my favorite posters if he didn't hate on Janelle so hard

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

You just wrote in one post that Beyonce was a somewhat faltering brand that was saved by her putting out an album in the middle of the night without telling anyone.

Yeah, and that's just what happened.

And to answer your question; Yeezus.

Maybe I overstepped saying they weren't interconnected. They are connected in the sense that her music is the biggest piece of her brand, not the other way around. Would we really know who Beyonce was if it weren't for her music? Would "Beyonce" hold weight if not for the music?

Her personal life and her brand are not tied together. "safe singer who has a powerful husband and is a mom" would be considered an image. Her brand is basically the "Beyonce" name which is something that was a brand before she ever even dated Jay Z let alone conceived Blue Ivy. Matthew Knowles began to build the "Beyonce" brand the moment she appeared solo on Missy's "Crazy Feelings" and appeared in Case's "Happily Ever After" as a love interest in '99. The fact she's "a safe singer who has a powerful husband and is a mom" doesn't sell out shows. The fact that people have identified with Beyonce's music even before those two things were a part of her life is what drives her career.

As far as the tour, you don't get it. The tour being referenced was "The Mrs. Carter" (or whatever it was called) tour. It was a world tour that she's been on since the beginning of the year. I think it ended recently, but none of these songs were performed or even referenced.

You really don't get it, do you?

When Jay breaks it down into bite sized morsels for you I'm sure you'll understand it then. Right now you can't grasp promo without a promo budget.

Breh, the fact remains that there was no promotion for this specific album.

It sounds like you're seriously confusing press with promotion. She gets a lot of press for what she does on a day-to-day. In turn that press can turn into promotion if she says things like, "I'm working on an album," or "Here's a preview of a video for my new album," or "I've been in the studio a lot lately." There was none of that.

Beyonce went to sleep pressing send then she "woke up like this" to a gold album

I might have to start stanning her, 4 redeemed her, and this joint put her over, I'm feeling it

Real talk, I jumped on the bandwagon on the last album (Rather Die Young was ) and I think I got on at the right time. But this album/strategy is on some other shyt to a point where you ask KNOW the whole industry is mad and "inspired" at the same time. She fukkd up a lot of other artists holiday release plans and Bugatti Biebs got put on the back burner.

Her new shyt got put at the top of everyone's rotation

 

[WarZoneFH]

This obviously wasnt for me but I still managed to keep 0 zero tracks.

Recycle bin. I must have too much testosterone

 

[Ziggiy]

I really don't understand what all the arguing back forth about "interconnected brands" and shyt have to do with anything. Beyoncé is a superstar PERIOD. One of the few who could pull this type of feat off. Those of us who are Hip Hop heads and appreciate black artists having success without c00ning give her props, even if we aren't the biggest fans of her music it's an impressive accomplishment that no one with ounce of brain can possibly hate on. Hopefully future artists can take this blueprint and in turn create positive buzz and attention towards their own projects.



What else is there to say?
