has BEYONCÉ just released her best album yet?! i react to COWBOY CARTER!

[@Ammo1900]

Daughter sounds like a song a Disney villain would sing 😭😭 life changing

[@trugama6109]

I'm a beyonce FAN... have had heard and owned almost every album since Destiny's Child years. THIS IS BEYONCÉ BEST ALBUM YET.

[@josephjamesmusic_]

it’s up there for sure!

[@yee2urhaw246]

she just keeps evolving with each project. crazy to see the growth, love to see this album as a big 'fuck you' to the country music industry! she's saying "i can do country MY WAY and you're gonna play my shit!"

[@bperez8656]

PLEASE TELL ME WHY YOU THINK THAT!??? For me personally, it’s too intellectual and artistic for the mainstream. If you took the 27 amazing songs and turned them into a 10 song hit market album like Bday ppl would be losing their shit But it’s SUCH A ROLLERCOASTER of intellectual historical art that I’m just overwhelmed…

[@angivens86]

I think Destiny's Child are at work here. I can hear Kelly and Michelle all through those background harmonies!

[@rainespells1273]

“Yet” is the operative because I’m a relatively new fan post-lemonade and i think no way this lady is gonna be able to top herself and then she goes out and does it again and again

[@Travelista1000]

She's just a musical genius.

[@uplatenite8in]

I had the same reactions....what am I listening too....how does she do this, intertwine so many genres, instruments, vocals, runs....This is the best!

[@mzhappyfree7688]

Great analogy

[@bperez8656]

Your reactions are amazing. Your brain intuitively understands the genius of the album better than me!

[@josephjamesmusic_]

that’s such a compliment, thank you so much 😭🥺

[@bperez8656]

BODYGUARD - so sweet LEVII JEANS - so good II MOST WANTED - perfect blend DAUGHTER - OPERA MASTERY JOLENE - Empowering and made me cry. YAYA - is a blend of like 5 genres and a pre Act iii rock like bop!!!!

[@bperez8656]

Moment of silence after Daughter ended Thank you for giving it the respect it deserved !!!

[@dianithehector7944]

Give her, her 10's!!

[@josephjamesmusic_]

across the board!!

[@np-gi6vz]

I love everyone's reaction to the alien abduction part at the end LMAO that's what it sounds like to me. probably whisking us away to the renaissance

[@josephjamesmusic_]

i LOVE this

@@josephjamesmusic_ Beyoncé's peer is the sky, PERIOD ‼️ No artist on THIS planet is giving what Beyoncé does 💅🏿

[@DonovanGG__]

I’m not a Beyonce fan. I don’t really listen to her at all. I’m a Kendrick Lamar fan. This is a top 5 album of the decade so far, and immediately the frontrunner for album of the year. Will be extremely difficult to top. 10/10

[@lennybeason1110]

Classic 🔥

[@josephjamesmusic_]

this is so lovely!! thank you!!

[@mshoneyluv05]

I enjoyed this reaction. This is definitely a new sound for her and she perfected it. Top 5 for me is American requiem, bodyguard, 2 hands 2 heaven, tyrant and daughter

[@mohamedislembarhoumi9832]

she topped herself with every new album

[@24Kurenai]

Someone mentioned what if the albums are supposed to be played backwards like act 3, act 2, act 1 and that's why the last third of this album has a house music feel similar to renaissance.

[@josephjamesmusic_]

WAAAAIT, what a good theory!! this is so interesting

[@markfarago8846]

act ii was recorded before act i and Amen goes straight into I'm that girl

[@clarkeokah1154]

@@josephjamesmusic_actually Beyoncé released a statement saying that Cowboy Carter was supposed to have come first , but because we were all cooked up after the pandemic , we needed to dance . So she changed the order . The last songs in this album, are like they are preparing us to transition into Renaissance. In fact the last song Amen, she mention “American Requiem “ again .. and then in Renaissance “I’m that girl” she mentions “my un American life “..

Yaya II Most Wanted Spaghetti Levi Jeans Texas Holdem Sweet-honey-buckin Tyrant Will be played endlessly...by me 😂 But there's not a bad song on the Album tbh I read this quote in another reaction vid "this Album shows you what country was, is, and can be" and i couldn't agree more. 👏🏽

[@josephjamesmusic_]

taste!

[@scs090scs9]

This was a vocal experience! My faces are Tyrant, Daughter, Just for Fun, and Levii's Jeans.

[@mrtadpole211]

Loved your review!!! Love your honesty & that you were all in. Loved when you said name me a better vocalist!! I'll wait! I'll wait! I'll wait! Do you hear an homage to Hey Ya by Outcast in YaYa? Riverdance was a precursor to Renaissance. Back half was definitely for the hive. This is the Thriller of 2024! Over an hour & I can listen to it on a loop. Beyonce is her only competition. If this isn't AOTY, there's a fix in. Diversity pulled together with a country theme. Bodyguard still the main bop a month in. Love your top 5. What other singer than an opera singer can pull off believable opera? Any takers? Let sister sad sack singer have a rest this year. Do the right thing, academy. Stop the hate. Peace out. Had to subscribe. Had my headphones on listening. Thanks for a delicious headache!

Question: Has Beyoncé just released her best album yet? Answer: Are you kidding me?!! Yes, just yes. Full stop. No more pontification needed. I haven’t listened to an artist’s album in its entirety in years and I have not only listened to this one on repeat, but I said to hell with listening on KZbin; even my cheap a- had to break down and buy the album for my flawless listening experience. And btw, I have heard it said that Beyoncé can’t sing or that she isn’t a great singer. I mean, I’m no authority, but man, the story she was able to tell with her vocal choices and range are just ridiculous. IMHO, this album is a masterpiece.
