HONORABLE MENTION
Beyoncé - RENAISSANCE
I know it’s coming... *hands on hips* “Honorable mention?!?”
I just can't listen to Renaissance straight through. I’ve tried and tried and tried. When it comes to my listening experience, I approach music sonically first, following the story and arrangement of the music instruments, and how the timbre of one's singing or rapping meets and interweaves between those elements. Give me an audio painting with a tapestry of enthralling colors and textures that I can feel. Then I'll invite in the lyrics.
It's like cinema. The average person most likely follows the eyes of the camera as it relates to the dialogue for the cinematic story. The way my brain is wired 🤖 I have to separate a number of other elements into parts as the story moves along — from the color grading and lighting to the sound design and mise-en-scène — to fully understand the director's vision and grasp the actual tale.
The thing about Renaissance as a whole is that it doesn't breathe enough for me. It feels chaotic like a tide than a flow if I let it run straight through. Give me spatial, darling! But that's the intentional, heavy-handed part about Renaissance, especially on the heels of a post-pandemic world: "Get tf up, dance and feel good." I don't wanna dance; I just wanna listen 😩 lol
Side note:
We all have a specific musical palette as to why we fully gravitate to some songs/albums and not to others. I posted my review of Susan Roger’s book, This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You, a few months ago. (She was Prince's sound engineer from 1983 to 1988.) If you’re curious about why you like the music you like, I recommend for you to read it.

nothing good in the music tag today it's all antonoff-produced sabrina carpenter and like two aurora and charli xcx posts. as if tems and peggy gou didn't both drop albums today that you're going to be hearing on the radio at the grocery store and in the club for the rest of the year. i keep forgetting none of you actually go to the club. my bad. i thought you guys liked olafur eliasson. pitchfork panned peggy gou (6.2, wrong as usual) and linked to a 170-view youtube upload of an obscure soichi terada release come on it's funny. we don't have time to unpack all that
cd players are back on trend because a kpop group figured out how to market the thing they used to do for music reviewers (so they would stop reselling rare prereleases with the barcode sawed out) where they glue the cd player shut so you can only listen to one cd and you can't take it out. $100. sold out. it's a clear case though! you can see the motherboard and everything. i don't actually know that it's glued shut but i would bet money
and in my pointless superpower, googling "what happened to musician" a day before they release something new, alice longyu gao is back with a new single. raye is doing some kind of bible themed orchestral 7min track in three acts idk what's going on there. i will say she is nailing swing. noga erez track would be a serve if it had more than one lyric. some of you probably want to know about the orville peck single. omar apollo album probably going to be good but i'm tired of advance previews. like if it's done and shipped just drop it already. whatever. i'm going back to tierra whack shower song. sound of summer everybody with summer releases is coming across tryhard. either put the concept together or don't. if junglepussy and leikeli47 don't come back it's shaping up to be a flop year
