Seeing James smiling is such a joy

[@Msferedrose]

Loving this side of Acaster! Some very interesting observations around how ‘formation’ was debuted in particular. This was great. Adorable to think that James is part of the hive🎉 🐝

[@JordiVanderwaal]

James is such a fascinating guy. Didn't expect both of them to go that deep when talking about a Beyoncé album (or music in general). Even if I never got into Lemonade, I really liked their point of view. xD

[@Dhal-SimMusic]

He does have his own album

[@kiki_0514]

i genuinely think james and i could talk about lemonade for hours on end like i love that album too!

Hey, BBC... more ROMESH content please. Acaster smiling = the world is okay

[@estebancomulet]

Rom and Acaster. Can't believe this doesn't have more views. Also, was impressed when I found out Acaster dated Rose Matafeo. Is that who prompted his infamous breakdown of 2017?

[@estebancomulet]

Don't all rush to answer my question, guys. ;)

[@elxdiejean]

yes it was, they broke up right at the start of 2017 :(

[@stephenpalmer9375]

I thought it was his breakup with Louise Ford, who left him for Rowan Atkinson. His relationship with Rose was much earlier

[@elxdiejean]

@@stephenpalmer9375 i’ve read his book perfect sound whatever and pretty sure it was rose because he talks about his girlfriend being from New Zealand and also Rose has lots of pictures of them together which were posted in 2016. pretty sure Louise Ford was a few years before :)

beyonce doesnt "make" albums, the 50 producers involved do..

[@Avoiceintheshadow]

There were 17 producers and Beyoncé was one of them. Just as there were multiple directors and Beyoncé was one of them. Just because it's collaborative doesn't mean she wasn't heavily involved. Give credit where it's due. She worked on multiple aspects of the album, including production.

[@megaflux7144]

@@Avoiceintheshadow yea.. meanwhile actual musicians have been making albums for decades with ONE producer because its all they needed. but hey, dont let me stop you for cheering on the special olympians of the world.

@@megaflux7144 1) a lot of the credits on this album are simply awarded to avoid the chances of being sued in a post blurred lines world. They weren’t all involved with the active making of the album 2) music has always been and will always be very collaborative. Sure there are some bands who overwhelmingly wrote their stuff by themselves. But it’s very different when you are just working with natural instruments in the 60’s, whereas in this album there are so many musical components that not just one person can be a master of
