1. American Requiem - lays the cards out on the table about the history of the country, bad ideas, good ideas, judgments. The racist judgment against her that no matter how skilled and qualified she is they will never accept her. 2. Blackbird - Paul McCartney wrote it for black women during civil rights movement 3. 16 Carriages - tells the story of her childhood sacrifice 4. Protector - dedicated to her daughter 5. My Rose - dedicated to her son 6. Smoke Hour with Willie Nelson introduces the “Outlaw Western Country” portion of the album and begins to shape almost like a movie. 7. Texas Hold Em - meets a man and tells him to lay his guard down and be vulnerable 8. Bodyguard - she reveals her possessiveness over him 9. Dolly P - Dolly Parton actually requested Beyoncé cover this 2 years prior to the album coming out 10. Jolene - Beyoncé reveals her indignation over a woman trying to mess with her happy marriage and family 11. Daughter - she fantasizes over the murder of Jolene and then begins mourning in a haunting Italian Opera 12. Spaghetti - a social criticism towards American nationalists who used to call Spaghetti westerns made in Italy, unAmerican despite them hiring American actors, so she surprises everyone with a country accent rap song as a way to say, this is still country…. 13. Alligator Tears - calls out peoples fake criticism and victimization. 14. Smoke Hour 2 Introduces the Modern Pop Country part of the album 15. Just For Fun 16. 2 Most Wanted 17. LEVII JEANS 18. Flamenco 19. The Linda Martell Show - forewarns us that Beyoncé is warmed up and about to start doing what she does best, which is genre bending to perfection to create unique art. Let’s us know the rest of the album is for fun. 20. Yaya - displays historic successful fusion of genres that created rock 21. Oh Louisiana - Let’s us know that her Louisiana roots are what educate her musical choices Experimental Genre bending: 22. Desert Eagle 23. Riverdance 24. 2 Hands 2 Heaven 25. Tyrant 26. Sweet / Honey / Buckin 27. AMEN - a masterful close and social criticism that ties right back to the first song ❤️ MASTERPIECE!!!
People are speculating that JOLENE is actually from Beyoncé's mom's point of view, since she sings "I’m still a Creole banjee bitch from Louisiane". Beyoncé is from Texas, her mom is from Louisiana ("My daddy Alabama, momma Louisana" from Formation)
the lore of this album runs so deep it’ll be studied in universities for years just like self-titled, lemonade and renaissance have been. the concept of a drunken night listening to a radio station is SO well executed. she goes from lamenting about america’s horrid past, to reminiscing on her childhood, to struggling as a parent, to imagining her mother’s heartache and seeking revenge, to getting high and experiencing a bad trip, to falling in love and losing it then finding it again, imagining herself in a movie, coming down, picking herself up and leaving the bar. all of this executed while also paying homage to americana/folk and country’s black roots, weaving together interpolations and samples from a whole host of other collaborators. she really is a master of her craft AND a student of the past, always paying homage to those who came before her in order to push culture and art FORWARD. 34 years in this business and she ain’t slowing down yet. a LEGEND. many laymans will continue to appear foolish due to their lack of comprehension regarding this album and indeed her career as a whole
Girl, trust me, most people are probably going to tell you to listen to Lemonade next but PLEASE you have to listen to the HOMECOMING live album, or if you can get your hands on it, watch the movie, which is the full live performance of the album it is absolutely monumental. You wont regret it
Protector, bodyguard, just for fun, and ii hands ii heaven were co written by Ryan Beatty! You should totally check out some of his work, he’s an incredible singer songwriter w the voice of an angel.
Just started watching and I love it so far. But I just had to comment on your look! I love your eyeshadow. It goes so well with your outfit! And your vibe is immaculate as well lol
Congraduations Queen Beyonce on all your accomplishments. I am here for it all; fashion, songs, movies, concerts, entertainment, products, merch and history lessons. Best entertainment for my money. Seen them all. Let the haters get their lives.😊
If you like My Rose you should check out “Carol of the Bells aka Opera of the Bells” by Destiny’s Child from 2001. It’s the blueprint. Also Carmen: A Hip Hopera was released earlier that years. I feel like Daughter was a callback to that
The end goes into Renaissance album because Bey wrote this album 1st but put Renaissance out 1st. Play Amen then play Renaissance 1st song I'm That Girl.
Love how you review, you know how to feel and enjoy every song without ALL THE SCIENTIFIC BREAKDOWNS some of these other reviewers do like they are the producers and BEYONCE THEMSELVES😂, decision makers etc😉
would love for you to react to Beyoncé (her 2013 self-titled album) and the visuals since each song on the album has its own short film. She recorded all the videos during her Mrs. Carter Show world tour at the beginning of the year and then dropped the album at the end of that same year... but out of no where!! like no pre-release media/marketing/promos, nothing. so then everyone was surprised when they found out that not only a new Beyoncé album was released, but one with videos for every songggg... and of course its just an incredible album and shows so much of her amazing artistry/talent
Would you consider reacting to SIAs upcoming album (May 3rd)? It has collabs with Kylie Minogue, Paris Hilton, Missy Elliot, Chaka Khan and many more amazing artists and Sia honestly never disappoints
@@SunshineDB-009I think it’s not a coincidence and that no matter who they dated “stans” would never accept that person because they idolise the artist so much that no one can compare or match to them. And no one will be good enough.

I also love how the bridge of Tyrant sounds like “Haunted” from Self-Titled

The face card never declines!!!!
awwww thank you
That lip liner though! My hand could never be that steady 😅
@@RedSoloCuppppp yes like she's always gag me!!! It's art for real
Fern, i just love your reaccions. Its just so true and genuine authentically yourself…i followed you on tears when you listened to “protector”
the lore of this album runs so deep it’ll be studied in universities for years just like self-titled, lemonade and renaissance have been.
the concept of a drunken night listening to a radio station is SO well executed. she goes from lamenting about america’s horrid past, to reminiscing on her childhood, to struggling as a parent, to imagining her mother’s heartache and seeking revenge, to getting high and experiencing a bad trip, to falling in love and losing it then finding it again, imagining herself in a movie, coming down, picking herself up and leaving the bar.
all of this executed while also paying homage to americana/folk and country’s black roots, weaving together interpolations and samples from a whole host of other collaborators.
she really is a master of her craft AND a student of the past, always paying homage to those who came before her in order to push culture and art FORWARD.
34 years in this business and she ain’t slowing down yet. a LEGEND.
many laymans will continue to appear foolish due to their lack of comprehension regarding this album and indeed her career as a whole
Fern your vocals have my jaw on the floor! You melded SO well with Beyoncé's in your own style, and the makeup? You're a gem
Thank you so much truly 💕💕💕
Ya Ya is that girl!!!
Apparently riverdance is co-written by British artist Raye which was interesting to get into her music via this song!
Omg I LOVE Raye ! X
ur such an amazing music commentator ur the best sissss
thank you so much
Nooooo justice for riiverdance! I think the repetitiveness is my favorite part, it’s just so hypnotic and puts me in a trance
Girl, trust me, most people are probably going to tell you to listen to Lemonade next but PLEASE you have to listen to the HOMECOMING live album, or if you can get your hands on it, watch the movie, which is the full
live performance of the album it is absolutely monumental. You wont regret it
I agree so much with this because it's pretty much a shuffle of her entire discography brought to life
She already reacted to lemonade but YESS HOMECOMING LIVE!
homecoming 🔥🔥🔥
Co-signing!! ‼️
What a relief it must have been to go from taylor swift to new BEYONCE!!!
Protector, bodyguard, just for fun, and ii hands ii heaven were co written by Ryan Beatty! You should totally check out some of his work, he’s an incredible singer songwriter w the voice of an angel.
Your back vocals tho!!! 🔥🔥
WE WANT MORE BEYONCE i feel like you would love renaissance and lemonade💛💛
OMGGG YESSS I was waiting for your reactionnnn ❤
I love your ad-libs on Bodyguard girl! Edit: just in general!
Loved this 🙏🙏 and sending you loads of positive energy as you stay off your anti’s 💙💙
Thank you soooooo much ❤️
you kind of ate singing daddy lessons omg i love your reaction.
your analysis of 16 carriages blew my mind. I never thought about that before.
Just started watching and I love it so far. But I just had to comment on your look! I love your eyeshadow. It goes so well with your outfit! And your vibe is immaculate as well lol
thank you so much !! this means a lot
Congraduations Queen Beyonce on all your accomplishments. I am here for it all; fashion, songs, movies, concerts, entertainment, products, merch and history lessons. Best entertainment for my money. Seen them all. Let the haters get their lives.😊
Luv ur Voice ❤ u also Beautiful
absolutely adore your reactions ❤️
Beyonce said she used as many natural sounds on this album as possible like the fingernail sounds on Riverdance & Tyrant
I like imagining that the very end of the album is all of us getting abducted into the renaissance space ship. 😂
It is! Cowboy Carter was supposed to be act one but Beyoncé thought we needed some positive music during COVID ❤😊
Your reactions are becoming a must watch
Girl what Texas hold em video ? 😂
It was a fanmade one 😂😂😂😂 I had no idea
If you like My Rose you should check out “Carol of the Bells aka Opera of the Bells” by Destiny’s Child from 2001. It’s the blueprint. Also Carmen: A Hip Hopera was released earlier that years. I feel like Daughter was a callback to that
Justice for desert eagle 🦅🦅🦅
it gives me Thundercat !
Great reaction!!👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you reacting to this album! It’s very American-core and full of spiritual undertones and gospel.
The end goes into Renaissance album because Bey wrote this album 1st but put Renaissance out 1st. Play Amen then play Renaissance 1st song I'm That Girl.
YA YA and II HANDS II HEAVEN are not songs. They are life-changing experiences.

Loving your reaction! (Btw, Joaquin Phoenix is pronounced like wah-keen) Just so you know! Not trying to be snarky or anything :)
Thank you ! I always get his name wrong no matter how many times I hear it though 😂 but going to try remember once and for all !
The 2 ii represent Act ii
38:00 that was beautiful 😍 you sounded so good!!
You did it justice
38:00 wow so beautiful *shook*😍
Would you consider reacting to SIAs upcoming album (May 3rd)? It has collabs with Kylie Minogue, Paris Hilton, Missy Elliot, Chaka Khan and many more amazing artists and Sia honestly never disappoints
Texas hold ‘em doesn’t have a music video. That’s a fan made video, please don’t watch that
Ur voice on just for fun 🤩😭😩 !!!!!
Please reaction to Goddess - laufey it's so good!!
The beyhive joked so much about her beautiful husband that she stopped saying that.
It’s so funny how none of the fan bases like their fav’s partners 😂
@@SunshineDB-009I think it’s not a coincidence and that no matter who they dated “stans” would never accept that person because they idolise the artist so much that no one can compare or match to them. And no one will be good enough.
I’m sorry but Texas Hold em’ has no video yet.
😂😂 I know and I watched a fan video thinking it was the real video !!! I’m such a idiot sometimes 😅
PLEASE REACT TO OLDER ALBUM BY LIZZ MCALPINE I BEG U
Sad you didn’t like ii hand ii heaven but I guess you can’t like them all..
Oh don’t worry I really like it now haha. Riiverdance just really knocked me off my stride and I had to get my energy back. Xx
@@FernStone nice, sometimes some songs take a couple of listens.. but when it hits, it hits, haha..
thank u for the timestamps bffie 🧍♀️
