You are amazing.

It's her first album after becoming a mother the sexual theme is strong because she was more confident than ever It's basically was her I still got it moment.

[@theswanqueen]

I highly recommend the album The Gift by Beyonce and the accompanying film Black Is King!

[@withbillyj]

You are spot on. In the BTS for this album she mentioned how having Blue ignited this self love for her body, curves, and all the changes a woman’s body goes through when they have baby. She wanted to combat this idea that women who have babies can’t celebrate their bodies and somehow be sexy as well. Spot on.

Writing this before watching. This is the album that changed music for me. I remember it clear as day, I woke up a 17 year old not interested in albums hahaha Looking forward to seeing this experience for you Steven! For me this is one of those pivotal moments within music, I hope you enjoy it! (Ill be back to reply after watching)

[@marysegaines]

Yes same here!! I literally left school early just to go home and download the visual album and it changed my life and perspective of music.

[@warrenedwards2506]

This is like the first album I’ve ever heard from beginning to end

[@rodjoh]

Bey definitely became more liberated in this record, not necessarily the first time she did this type of song but def the first time she felt fully confident in herself to just say and do whatever was on her mind.

[@rosalypaulino8389]

Beyoncé’s long songs are the beeest! Rocket, Virgo’s groove, all night, II hands to heaven… omg! But Rocket is sooo rich I can’t explain. Another song that is one of my favorites is dance for you in the album "4", is so sensual and sexy but vocally is so powerful😮‍💨🤌🏻

[@cosasdefalloutboy7451]

I'd definitely say Rocket is the best well put song from her

[@jmynnabors9610]

This album means tooo much to me omg

[@ashleysmoot7448]

Everything is Love React! Completely underrated because of low listens (because it wasn’t available on Apple).. completely different vibe because it’s a blend of Jays and Beys style.

[@thiagoteles980]

I LOVE THIS ALBUMMMM!! OMG

[@__Dana__]

Haunted and Partition are both songs that have another song within them that have their own seperate videos (Ghost and Yoncé)

[@andreacollins3204]

Let’s go. As a ahemmm (44 on Thursday) beyhive member since 98 it’s so refreshing watching her still amaze people. 🇮🇪🐝🐝

[@MENSBOUGIEBIBLE_Patrick]

This is my favorite Beyoncé album especially since there is a music video for every song. And also third eye blind (my fav band of all time me and my bff have seen them in concert at least 13 times) and they did an awesome cover of “Mine” 😬

[@okayyyjaiii]

i need to see your reaction to homecoming!

[@shaobozhang8018]

Yasssss!!!!

[@moonriverinc7896]

She sang xo at Kobe’s funeral and it’s made me cry ever since

[@ymerejshay]

Yessss Rocket is definitely a Top 5 Beyoncé song for me, TASTE 🙌🏼

[@HEAVENLYJD1738]

I've been crying to heaven for the last week omg ❤ she made me cry like crazy

[@__Dana__]

i think you should definitely listen to Jay’s 4:44 album and then their joint album ‘Everything Is Love’ to get the rest of the story of him cheating. you probably will still hear or watch things of Bey’s and think “how can you do that to this woman” but it really wasn’t about her and more so his problems

[@blackkatt777]

You should really watch the visual album of this. She made a video for each song, and it puts things into perspective. The song Heaven is heavily believed to be about her miscarriage before Blue, but she never confirmed that. It was also said that she lost a friend to an illness as well. This album tackles the idea that mothers are women too. They can still be sexy and adventurous. She's claiming it. So many groups were bashing the sexual subject matters, without getting the purpose. You skipped it, but Bow down (the segways song going into Flawless) is my ish that gets me feeling boss. Lol Like others have suggested, can you listen to the soundtrack she made for Lion King reboot called The Gift? She actually went to different parts of Africa to work with different artists in the Afro beats genre. Also, the making of it is awesome too. Did you ever hear the version of Mi Gente she featured on? During Hurricane Maria (I think, can't remember the name) that did a lot of damage to Puerto Rico, Blue told her she loved Mi Gente and told her to say yes to working on the remix. She has a shout out to Blue in the song "Azul are you with me?" In the last verse of that chorus you can hear Blue answer back "Oh yes, I am". Too cute. She said any streamed copies bought from her site..all the procedes was going straight to the donations for repair of P.R. Blue pulls at my heartstrings, because it's the joy of having Blue after her first loss. So much love in her voice.

[@ntmz7407]

I love your reactions. Love from the beyhive!

[@djjordan614]

You're spot on with your analysis of XO and it being about the crowd too, she legit sings it on stage at a festival with the crowd. Also check out the video for XO, it'll put the song in perspective even more

[@TheMisterEMS]

My favorite Beyoncé album along with 4 🤗

[@JADTO]

This album is what made Beyonce the celebrity of celebrities

[@javaniwilliams3058]

This album was almost shelved, the label didn’t believed in it but she convinced them to let her release it on her own.

Heaven is about her miscarriage, before she had her other children 💔

[@markfarago8846]

No its not, actually is about her mom, Tina's friend who passed away and Beyoncé plays Tina in the video and Ashley is her mom's friend... but she have a song about her miscarriage in her documentary, Life is but a dream

[@Birdiealway]

@@markfarago8846 wow I have heard this before. Thank you! I

[@TBarlow01]

@@markfarago8846 understood. It’s possible to be inspired by multiple things tho.

[@markfarago8846]

@@TBarlow01 not in this case.. she said she made the music videos for these songs on Self-Titled so people can see the vision what was in her mind while she was singing the songs and the video for Heaven is about loosing a friend
