I really appreciate this perspective on Beyoncé's albums. I'll admit I'm not a fan of the "pick me" conversation regarding her music because it ignores the history of R&B and the natural hyperbole that has always been involved when writing and singing about love. I also dislike that she is the only one tagged with this brush. That said, I do believe that there is a trilogy songs that showcase her shifting relationship with her father from the idealistic (Daddy) to the disappointment (Daddy Lessons) to the acceptance of her father as his own flawed human being(Find Your Way Back)
You know you’ve made a good point about natural hyperbole within R&B. I just think the hyperbole of female R&B contradicts the hyperbolic toxicity of male R&B and hip-hop, so women end up in situations they deserve, such as infidelity. I don’t think she’s the only one cast with this stroke, I mentioned her influences such as Mary J. Blige (the whole My Life album) but even Aretha Franklin with for example, I’ve Never Loved A Man the Way I’ve Loved You. I think Beyoncé’s “pick-me”-ness (which I don’t think is a fair assessment) only gets discussed because 1. She’s Beyoncé and 2. She was so open about her relationship in LEMONADE. When Summer Walker released Still Over It, she got a similar, albeit smaller reaction too. Thank you so much for commenting, I’ve really valued your perspective.
there's room to accept the hyperbole of rnb and still critically think about what the hyperbolic statements mean under patriarchy and misogyny. the pick me video also talked about how acts of service isnt wrong or bad, but it should be performed where it is celebrated, where it is cherished. so while beyonce can sing in hyperbole in cater 2 u or upgrade u, etc...the socio political context in which she sings it in still matters
@@chiamakanwadike3688 "acts of service isn't bad, but should be performed where celebrated" is the entire premise of Cater to You. The songs first lines express that the partner is someone who does right by them, works hard and motivates, and the "catering" is reciprocal. Like that's my whole thing. This entire premise comes out of the discussion of "Cater To You" being pick me and I just disagree. There is that one line from Kelly that is problematic but the set up and sentiment is fundamentally NOT pick me(unless being reciprocal in a relationship with a man is pick me).
This is incredible. I would've never came to this conclusion about her discography on my own. What's interesting is how it parallels with Kendrick Lamar’s discography. Section 80 - identifying the problem GKMC - explaining the problem through story TPAB - Trying to fix the problem (savior complex) DAMN - realizing he can't fix the problem (damned if you do, damned if you don't Mr. Morale - coming to peace with the problem and fixing himself. They're genius and will be looked back on hundreds of years from now for their contribution to the industry, society, and art.
Lemonade is my favorite album of hers not just cause of the infidelity but because of the ancestry background she incorporated in the videos and music 🔥
Until now I hadn’t come across a more in depth video about her discography and how it tells a beautiful story of love and its many different perspectives. This video was just amazing and informative, I am apart of the BeyHive and it’s just hard to put some of my appreciation for her craft into words and how she has inspired me in many ways. This is a thank you from me to you, I wish you nothing but the best and success. You gained a new sub, I am looking forward to more of your content.
@@Noir_Nouveau Lol I won't deny that some fans would. The "cult" behavior can be found in every fandom, it's not exclusive to the BeyHive. I will say as a fan, Beyoncé means a lot to us and she never gets online to defend herself -like ever, she rarely even speaks outside of her music. To top it off, often times misinformation about her spreads like wildfire and people uses it an excuse to spread hate so the energy is returned by the Hive.
This video is excellent. I was expecting a discussion simply about beyonce's evolving sound, but beyonce is so much more than that. Your discussion of love within her discography provides an interesting perspective i never really thought about. Thank you 🙏
It’s like she steps into her own power and takes responsibility for the woman she is… at that point jay z holds no influence on how she feels about herself only her
Beyoncé was always the student and have always studied. It was with lemonade where she showed us what she learned. I don’t know where but someone said Beyoncé replaced her dad with Jay. She was never alone with her self and that have it’s pros and cons.
Right! Even whilst researching and writing, I finally saw the beauty in her sticking besides JAY and understood what led her to that choice. And the artistic expression of that is beautiful, mayn!
Beyonce' has never shyed away from the fact that she and Jay have had their issues in her Music..It's very refreshing that she is willing to be so honest no matter the ridicule
Wow, this was an amazingly in depth look at Beyoncé’s discography. I got emotional throughout the self titled and lemonade portions of this video. Love is such a powerful emotion and journey- especially when you start to build a family. Thank you for taking the time to analyze her art because it is hard for me who had her albums and projects on repeat when they came out but never looked at the underlying message of ALL of them at once throughout these years. Lemonade STILL makes me cry and is one of my favorite works she put out to this day. Great job! Subscribing!!
Thank you so much! It sounds so silly but even whilst recording I was getting emotional just deeping how beautiful the story she has been telling and how Lemonade (especially with the visual component) just brings it all together 🥹 When I started researching I wasn’t even expecting to make a lucid argument but I’m glad it came across the way it did 😭🙏🏾
@@saintadamson It doesn’t sound silly to me at all! Music is an extremely emotional and personal experience for me, so when I feel like an artist put their heart out there it always makes me super emotional. And your argument was more than lucid, it was great!! I’m so glad teanna’s video inspired you to make yours and that she shouted you out because I now have another black creator to keep an eye on. Keep it up!
This is soooo GOOD! Because I’ve always said that she’s been with him her entire solo career so it’s definitely a huge influence (good bad and everything in between). But it makes her music raw and authentic. I would love to hear a bonus clip to this about Renaissance bc you broke it DOWN!!
this video made me reach a new respect for beyoncé’s discography and also made me reflect on my ideas about love. this was so well done and i thank you
beyoncé and jay z love story isn’t perfect and people on the internet definitely point that but every time to all night and everything in love i only dream to have that love they have and someday have someone to dedicate those songs to. your analysis and video are top tier🙌
Awesome video dude. Probably the most insightful take I’ve heard on lemonade as well, that breakdown of how she sees her marriage like religion was really eye opening and puts the rest of her albums into perspective. Keep it up
Incredibly intelligent and articulate young man. You did some great detective work on this. Thoroughly researched, insightful and thought provoking on more levels than just Beyonce's discography. All the best to you and your channel.
Right- the age and power dynamic definitely played a role - the first clips about how JAY-Z taught her to be a woman is very interesting. RENAISSANCE illustrates that there has been real reconciliation and again wholeness has been found.
I really appreciate you breakdown and interceptive view of all Beyoncé albums and also the personal view into all of Beyoncé, she just so beautiful. I know she's impacted my life in a such a personal level, she's an icon! I love her and her wonderful music!!! She's everything!!! 🎶
Saint, your analysis has opened up my eyes more to Beyoncé's songs and albums. From the way her albums are layed out it seems that the essence in her music is Love. From the raw emotions that comes with romantic love, especially when you have been with the same person for decades and have built a life and family with this person, the perspective on love for that person changes overtime. 💘 Also, love plays a role in her music when it comes to her children and parents, the maternal love and parental love perspectives of Love. 💓💞 Saint, You did a GREAT job with breaking down Beyoncé's discography. Thank you for sharing this video with us! 😊
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT dissection of her discography, which I also believe in turn tied into her life and career overall. lol I'm sure that's not what you intended but that's what happened. This also reals another layer of why we love Beyoncé so much because of the authenticity within her artistry, as you said, "She bare it all in her music." She barely lets us TRULY know certain things about her and her family in interviews but she puts it all in her music, but she CODES it and it is the listeners job to DECODE the messages of what she wants the world to know about her through the music. You've got to listen with a FINE TUNED EAR to really sometimes understand what she's really trying to say
Ugh, this analysis is pure excellence. I’m left with thoughts and questions that I now want to explore. Her career is so beautifully and intelligently analyzed in this video and I think it’s something even Beyonce herself would appreciate. Well done.
This was such an immacualte deep dive into bey’s career. I have genuinely learnt so so so much. Saint i thank you for your time and dedication. You are such a fantastic human being, so incredibly smart and wow your personality just shines through so extensively. I loved this so much. Super duper proud of you, please keep it up.
This is a phenomenal breakdown of Beyoncé's discography and her longstanding relationship with love as a concept. You have earned yourself a new subscriber!
Great video, Saint. You put Beyoncé’s story (music wise) into a new lens. I noticed similar things that you mentioned, but certain things no, so this helped💯 P.S. - Thank you to Teanna for sharing this on her feed. I needed this video before work😭
This video is so well thought out, so honest and objective I love it! Thank you for your analysis on this. Beyoncé’ body of work is crazy! We literally grew with her yes she doesn’t let us in her private life much, but all we need to know is in the music you just have to pay attention to it!
Message of the day. To make pressure of self from things that could've broke you. To literally harden or define self based on endured trial Your mouth is your second thought. Just because you speak never meant you will have something accurate to say. Speaking is an expression until you think with not only your throat,your vocal speaker.... Its when you think with your throat that speaks the expression that aims and lands on its targeted thought
I love this! You are deeply and carefully insightful, I still wanted you to keep going at the end of the video. I've never come across someone who intelligently disects Beyonce like you did. I don't even know you but am proud of you, keep it up a d keep it coming. You have a new subscriber 🙋🏽♀️
Amazing job on this video! Ren really feels like expressing love with a focus on self and community tbh. Like I feel so whole listening to this album and to now add it to her discography with this video’s explanation really brings the story and exploration of love over the years full circle for me.
I love this content ! Plus Beyonce is a Libra rising and her venus is in libra. So I guess since venus is her ruler , it makes since how love is influenced in her music
you did such a great job on this video. Excellent work! im literally watching it again. your approach and analysis is compelling. Its no surprise that your subscribers and views are growing. Keep up the excellent work. We're all waiting to see more!
Love this! Fabulous. Your voice is great… Your in depth look at this is parallel to B’ s mind and really how she reveals her life to us - 🤔Its like hidden in plain sight… Great revelation! Got chills💋 Well done
Absolutely loved this. Love actually listening too the albums and hearing the story and trying too feel the connections how they link and you smashed it 🙌🏼♥️ It’s all a embodiment off work ✨✨👑
I watched this nearly 2 years ago and have been searching for this vid for a couple months now, can’t wait to flick through your channel to see if you dissected Renaissance and Cowboy Carter (which came out last week Friday).
I’ve been working on a huge Renaissance video essay for a few months it just always ends up expanding beyond its remit 😭 I think it will be a track by track analysis
Her new album is also definitely about jay! Her 🐝 were screaming how it has nothing to do with Jay it's just music but this confirms my belief all along lol. Of course and the rest of the prior albums. Great analysis 👏🏽. When people love so young and stay with that 1 partner forever, they become emotionally dependent heavily on that partner and have such a misconstrued perception on true love. They'll be disappointed greatly and as they grow older, they take their partners mistakes at such grave lengths because they feel like I gave u myself since forever and this is how u treat me?! I think that's what happened when Jay cheated. Well when he was "caught". I'm sure he cheated without getting caught multiple times. Men like change. They commit once they're older and had multiple women already. But being with the same 1 forever is tough. Cheating isn't right but I'm just assuming that's what happened 😩.
I agree on some level that this new album is a reformed beyonce, the result of the destruction of her marriage but the joy of who she is. I think it’s interesting it’s after the gift. Lemonade explored be soul, the gift her history and renaissance is an album about joy about love but not just about Jay about life, music, her family, confidence.
I´ve never seen this channel before. I do love bey and her way of writing and how she approches things, and the way you got into this whole discography without leaving out her as a person, just makes me feel so understood. In her Music she does give away alot of information. What people don´t realize is also, that alot ot things she is talking about it happend a while ago. So everytime she is presenting it to us, she been trought the emotions. When Sean openly said he cheated and said, someting like "everybody needs their time" or "people are ready to different times" sort of, I knew she had to process it, she wanted to let the world know, but that she gave the paste. She also has a strong base. She loves life, and her mom really is appreciated. She does idealize Sean, because him and her dad are very similar just from a business point of view and probably the way they are moving. Also I think he is really helping her emotionaly and in the studio, they both have the same hobby, and as you said, he was very open about his emotions as well.. they do really love each other. And just from a standpoint of a woman, I often listened to No. 4, and I felt sorry, because she really is a perfectionist, and didn´t just wanted the relationship go, because of the public or other reasons, but because she dreamed about all of what she has in her life, since she was very young. AND she was really young when she met him, I seen an interview with her, where she was touring already alone and she was so child like, but on the stage sasha, if she knew it back then or not. I loved this Video, thank you! Subscribed :)
I Love This Video! Great Job! Very interdisciplinary. I Love How you Included interviews and movies. Very inspiring aswell! I do short Review Videos in German on TikTok and you make me think about doing longer Reviews on TH-cam aswell 🙏♥️
this video is so amazing your ability to analyze and dissect her discography and make these connections is impressive. most people im surrounded by dont think this deeply about music and im so pleased to see there are people in the world that can actually see deeper meaning behind the artistry that is Beyoncé. thank you. 🤎🖤
13:57 "the use of the word *DRUNK* suggests something not so wholesome about that said love" - I'm sorry, respectfully no. This is hardly a symptom of a unhealthy relationship. She is using the metaphor of "drink" for discussing love in a very Rumi/Sufi way - you see, Rumi is their favorite poet, and wine/drink is prominently used for the main theme of Sufi literature - love. Those poems mostly urge the most sincere, unhindered expression of love and DRUNL IN LOVE the song is first song Beyoncé allowed herself to not hold back and really express herself without regard for kids listening. Like, this song is dirty but it is monumental at that time to have come out from Beyoncé but really she's just finally releasing herself in this Rumi way. Side note, I can't help but view EVERYTHING IS LOVE title and album from Rumi point of view. It's all love in this house.
I love your interpretation especially with knowing that Rumi is Bey and Jay’s favourite couple. And I think it expresses a truth about their relationship. I still believe the song serves a part of the album narrative within BEYONCÉ about her growing sense of insecurity and isolation in her relationship, when treating the songs in context with the other songs of the album. I do think your point is beautiful in its own right and does sort of poke holes in the specific point I was making about the song - but I think it still works in context with my analysis of BEYONCÉ. Idk idk I really appreciate your perspective because I defo wouldn’t have made that Rumi connection 😭 Thanks for your comment 🙏🏾

Your in depth look at this is parallel to B’ s mind and really how she reveals her life to us - 🤔Its like hidden in plain sight…
Great revelation! Got chills💋
Well done
You did a phenomenal job with this
Incredible scholarly analysis of her discography. Thank you!!!
Damn this was a good view of her albums and it makes soo much sense
Is there such thing as a perfect video essay? Cause imo this is 👌🏽
This is great
That’s how I feel 😂I can never rank her music (songs or albums).
Same, it’s hard😭💯
What a wonderful video essay! Smart, thorough and beautifully done. Bravo!! 🙌
Absolutely loved this. Love actually listening too the albums and hearing the story and trying too feel the connections how they link and you smashed it 🙌🏼♥️ It’s all a embodiment off work ✨✨👑
This is such a fantastic video and a great analysis on Beyonce's discography and its relation to love❤❤
Thank you so much! Glad you liked!
I watched this nearly 2 years ago and have been searching for this vid for a couple months now, can’t wait to flick through your channel to see if you dissected Renaissance and Cowboy Carter (which came out last week Friday).
I’ve been working on a huge Renaissance video essay for a few months it just always ends up expanding beyond its remit 😭 I think it will be a track by track analysis
@@saintadamson I look forward to hearing your thoughts!!!
Woww!!! This was thorough! Thanks for sharing this and using your time to break this down!! Beautiful!!!!!
Yes, I try to explain this to people but my words aren’t as eloquent as yours, but I definitely love this analysis…
Excellent excellent excellent video. Your video style and editing is top tier.
Such an awesome contextualization of her work! Thoroughly enjoyed ❤️
That was beautiful and so dead on! And you’re right, we are now in a era!
This video is so good. I always find myself coming back to it every few months.
Thank you this feedback is great to hear!
Thank you. I enjoyed this insightful breakdown.❤
Such a great research and analysis!
Omg your analysis are amazing!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!
This is a truly amazing video! I love your analysis!
Very very very good video! Love all the connections you made. I really learned something. Thanks!
This was an AMAZING breakdown! Very in depth and made sooooo much sense. You did a great job
Her new album is also definitely about jay! Her 🐝 were screaming how it has nothing to do with Jay it's just music but this confirms my belief all along lol. Of course and the rest of the prior albums. Great analysis 👏🏽. When people love so young and stay with that 1 partner forever, they become emotionally dependent heavily on that partner and have such a misconstrued perception on true love. They'll be disappointed greatly and as they grow older, they take their partners mistakes at such grave lengths because they feel like I gave u myself since forever and this is how u treat me?! I think that's what happened when Jay cheated. Well when he was "caught". I'm sure he cheated without getting caught multiple times. Men like change. They commit once they're older and had multiple women already. But being with the same 1 forever is tough. Cheating isn't right but I'm just assuming that's what happened 😩.
Heyy girl :) but girl what lyrics in renaissance is about Jay LMAOOOO I only heard 2
I agree on some level that this new album is a reformed beyonce, the result of the destruction of her marriage but the joy of who she is. I think it’s interesting it’s after the gift. Lemonade explored be soul, the gift her history and renaissance is an album about joy about love but not just about Jay about life, music, her family, confidence.

this video is so good! thank you so much for sharing it. i want it on the internet history books that i was your 486th subscriber!!
I´ve never seen this channel before.
I do love bey and her way of writing and how she approches things, and the way you got into this whole discography without leaving out her as a person, just makes me feel so understood.
In her Music she does give away alot of information. What people don´t realize is also, that alot ot things she is talking about it happend a while ago. So everytime she is presenting it to us, she been trought the emotions. When Sean openly said he cheated and said, someting like "everybody needs their time" or "people are ready to different times" sort of, I knew she had to process it, she wanted to let the world know, but that she gave the paste.
She also has a strong base. She loves life, and her mom really is appreciated. She does idealize Sean, because him and her dad are very similar just from a business point of view and probably the way they are moving. Also I think he is really helping her emotionaly and in the studio, they both have the same hobby, and as you said, he was very open about his emotions as well.. they do really love each other. And just from a standpoint of a woman, I often listened to No. 4, and I felt sorry, because she really is a perfectionist, and didn´t just wanted the relationship go, because of the public or other reasons, but because she dreamed about all of what she has in her life, since she was very young.
AND she was really young when she met him, I seen an interview with her, where she was touring already alone and she was so child like, but on the stage sasha, if she knew it back then or not.
I loved this Video, thank you! Subscribed :)

this video is so amazing your ability to analyze and dissect her discography and make these connections is impressive. most people im surrounded by dont think this deeply about music and im so pleased to see there are people in the world that can actually see deeper meaning behind the artistry that is Beyoncé. thank you. 🤎🖤
Bravo.
This video is amazing ☝️☝️ but now that Renaissance is here can you do a video about the album like this one
13:57 "the use of the word *DRUNK* suggests something not so wholesome about that said love" - I'm sorry, respectfully no. This is hardly a symptom of a unhealthy relationship. She is using the metaphor of "drink" for discussing love in a very Rumi/Sufi way - you see, Rumi is their favorite poet, and wine/drink is prominently used for the main theme of Sufi literature - love. Those poems mostly urge the most sincere, unhindered expression of love and DRUNL IN LOVE the song is first song Beyoncé allowed herself to not hold back and really express herself without regard for kids listening. Like, this song is dirty but it is monumental at that time to have come out from Beyoncé but really she's just finally releasing herself in this Rumi way.
Side note, I can't help but view EVERYTHING IS LOVE title and album from Rumi point of view. It's all love in this house.
I love your interpretation especially with knowing that Rumi is Bey and Jay’s favourite couple. And I think it expresses a truth about their relationship. I still believe the song serves a part of the album narrative within BEYONCÉ about her growing sense of insecurity and isolation in her relationship, when treating the songs in context with the other songs of the album. I do think your point is beautiful in its own right and does sort of poke holes in the specific point I was making about the song - but I think it still works in context with my analysis of BEYONCÉ. Idk idk I really appreciate your perspective because I defo wouldn’t have made that Rumi connection 😭 Thanks for your comment 🙏🏾
Any thoughts on talking about jay-z too. Maybe, specifically the album 4:44.
Like I have some real specific thoughts about JAY Z in relation to RENAISSANCE that I’m interested in doing a video on so that’s coming soon!
@@saintadamson yayyy can’t wait
Saint, you did a GREAT Job on the analysis of Beyoncé's discography. 👍🏿👍🏿💯
Could you possibly do a analysis on Rihanna's discography too?
