Here’s a new message from Beyonce. If you can understand this maybe you can translate it for me. What does she mean by “There is no label or tag on my sound.”? What sound? Beyonce has a sound?
“I wanted to address my fans about my upcoming album.
I have worked on this album for close to one year. I have taken the time so I can create my sound. Something that says who I am at this stage in my life. I have poured my heart and soul into it. It is my baby. It is the most time I have spent on any project since my first records as a member of Destiny’s Child when I was 15 years old. I have recorded over 70 songs and have created a sound that reveals all of me. I am in a different place right now and I wanted people to see the many sides of me. The music is upbeat for the dance, fun side and it is reflective, passionate and serious for the personal side. I have taken risks here. I am not afraid and my music will explain it all. There is no label or tag on my sound. It’s me and I am so excited to share it with the world on November 18.”
Good Morning SR folks,
I, kinda in a strange way, would really like to know what she has. I really want to see this reflective side of her music, cause as to date I have not or at least that’s what she always said it’s not about her . I am curious.
Good Morn’n toosexy …
Can’t wait for Bey to drop her album … I know its going to be HAWT!
Sandra you fully understand what she is saying.
First she says she is trying to create a sound they she says she has no label or sound as if that is a good thing. I don’t think she needs a sound. She’s doing just find doing a variety. Not every artist has a sound like say, Michael, Prince and Mary and that’s ok. I will say she has piqued my interest and I may finally buy my first Beyonce CD.
Oh yeah, and don’t forget to watch The Game on CW tonight at 8:30 EST.
Auntie…you forgot to paste the part where she “sounds even more delusional”
Why did she find it necessary to explain? She just seems to be rambling…oh wait, that’s normal..
Sandra,
Please forgive my shameful plubgs for The Game. I promise I won’t do anymore. I just had to give this show some kind of promotion since the network won’t do it. I’ve been grinding pretty hard for them and think our efforts resulted in mentions in Vibe and Essence. I also think I pissed off Ebony by constantly going hard at Tyler Perry. After a letter writing campaign asking for them to support The Game and mention the disappearing black shows on major networks, they ran that cover story of Tyler AND ran a several page story telling people to watch black internet shows since there were none on TV. The only the mention the show got in that article was. “CW has two black shows.” They didn’t even name them.
Anyway, I won’t mention it again.
Damn she’s mighty cocky…She still plans to drop on November 18th even without a single in rotation yet? Well alright Miss Thang.
c o c k y
Before I get started I just want to sing *** Happy B-Day! to Kym!
Oh yeah Good Morning SR family!
About the post** She is very cocky, but I’m quite interested in hearing her album, bootleg of course!!! LOL!
Sandra she doesn’t sound delusional. You just have to make something out of nothing. Sounds like she’s just talkin about whats to come from her new album. And she is clearly addressing her FANS on this…if you ain’t a fan then keep it movin cuz this ain’t for you.
@ Bird did you get in trouble for the remider? I thank you for reminding me with the debate it slipped my mind (thank goodness for tivo)
@ topic… Bey I support you and I’m a big fan but you’re better seen not heard. Let your music speak for itself.
All this explaining. Are you not confident in what you are about to drop? Please don’t go that Kanye way. That new song/sound is horrible.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS KYM!!!!!!!
I love Beyonce’s passion! I cannot wait until that CD drops!
When she says “taken risks” that she means “Irreplacable” type risks…Doesn’t really matter, I’m a fan! Period!
I took it as no record label has influenced or dictated her album. She has had total creative control of the album.
Irreplaceable was not a risk….Ring The Alarm, Freakum Dress, and Get Me Bodied were risks. They were a new sound for her and Thankfully they worked for the album. All that hollering and sh*t she did, When I brought the album I really wasn’t feeling anything on it except for Upgrade You and Irreplaceable….DEJA VU got on my DAMN NERVES!!! It took a while for those crazy songs to grow on me –“suga mama, green light…?? They were all stupid to me. Sorry Stans, but she CAN sing at least LOL! I’ll give her that. I just hope she hasn’t gotten full of herself and took it to a level people aren’t going to respond to.
@bird, I agree
but I don’t know if i will actually but it, I probably have to hear a couple of songs, and if good, then bootleg it is. LOL
it means if it is wack and yall dont like it then i was experimenting
It’s like listening ot Charlie Browns teacher talking…She should really really really hire a publicists – one who speaks the Kings English and writes in an articulate fashion. I’m not hating on Beyonce, but it seems like anytime I read or watch an interview of hers, I feel like I’m trying ot decipher the jargon of someone with an unscheduled TBI. I’m not saying she has to ‘talk white’, but she should strive to want to be able to communicate to the masses.

**********************************************
No, but I didn’t want to disrespect Sandra, by doing it and not saying anything. She get paid for advertising. I’ve done it on every blog I frequent and said nothing, but this is a more close knit group. We know Sandra and she knows us.
Lol @ Eastpoint….yea, man, that is exactly what she is saying!
She is actually responding to a rumor that her album had been pushed back and not going to be released in November.
Wow-people be reaching…..don’t they
I can recall hearing that NEYO said he was done with R&B that he was bored with it and moving on to other genres of music etc. but people beefing with beyonce for saying
1. she took her time with this album-(direct response to people who took issue with the time she took to make the last one)
2. the album will be released as schedule (direct response to rumors that it wouldn’t be released on time)
3. She’s telling her fans what to expect from her on this album-creativity & originality
Sounds like an artist promoting their upcoming album plain & simple but of course anything this girl does gets dissected and analyzed to death!
She should really really really hire a publicists – one who speaks the Kings English and writes in an articulate fashion.
___________________________________________________________
If you go look at videos from when she first came out…she had a very strong southern accent. Her speaking has improved tremendously. Keyshia Cole doesn’t speak no Queen’s English!!! Not even close…
A really stong southern accent is a communication barrier for someone that is not used to it. However, Britney Spears has a southern accent and it doesn’t seem to affect her fan base!
If you can understand the posts on this blog, you can DAMN SURE understand the message Beyonce is trying to convey.
i hope thr risks she took wasnt too risky. as in risking that money on people not buying this cd

DEJA VU got on my DAMN NERVES!!!
********************************
Oooh girl. That is my favorite Beyonce song of all time! I love uptempo songs that are heavy on the horns. Like Jay’s song, “Show Me What You Got.”
Go Bey.. can’t wait!!!
I played her last album so much some songs skip.
I liked the album. Lets go little kitty kat he don’t want you anymore. ha-ha-ha.. The album was definitely written for women.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Lets see
1. Fire your best friends from a group you’ve all been in for years because they dont agree with your father being the manager.
2. While your in said group you are recieving all the checks and your other band members are complaining they cant even buy a meal to eat.
3. Make the other girls in the group TAN and you dont.
4.Dis Kelly on national television because she said in a perfect world everything would be free.
5. etc, etc, etc
I will always look out for me in the end…. Self-preservation Rule #1.
The music business is shady #2.
Some people are leaders others are followers #3.
I cannot and will not constantly hold someone’s hand to walk him or her through life #4.
I am not responsible for the world or how people choose to live their life #5.
Don’t talk about it be about it #6.
@charles.. How many artist write their songs?.. It not that you write them its that you pick them (even thought with the business we know writing garners more revenue).
