Beyoncé - Break My Soul

[Christian]

Are @Jark and @Suedey bopping yet? I BET they've been FRUGGING to this in SECRET

 

[Jark]

Is this a bit like when you initially hated that Harry Styles record?

I don't know what you're talking about.

 

[Ellie]

This is the first Beyonce song I've liked for a LONG LONG LONG time.

I mean the 90s throwback sound certainly helps.

 

[Christian]

Our ELL is on board

It's going to BOMB now, isn't it

 

[Christian]

I'm getting Mickey Jackson's Dangerous references on the 10th play

Who produced this?

Tricky Stewart, who only did some posthumous remixes for him (the good ones that never got released), but I don't get the Dangerous vibes at all.

Interesting! Did he have anything to do with Xscape?

It could be the 90s beats, but that might just be Crystal Waters.

The-Dream
Tricky Stewart
Beyoncé

The Dream did some recent Mariah stuff, no?

He did the better version of 'Slave To The Rhythm' that leaked online but they used some shit from Timbaland instead for the official release. I think he was behind the better non-official version of 'Do You Know Where Your Children Are' too.

 

[Christian]

I've just clocked that Mariah's "Migrate" is FOURTEEN years old. I'm done.

Can you link me up? I don't know Slave To The Rhythm, but Do You Know has a great melody (despite everything else about it )

 

[Christian]

Do we have a "General Jacko Chat" thread Ells? We should take this there.

I TRY to stay away from that on Moopy I'll put it in the Xscape thread

Love you for trying to contain me

 

[OutSynk]

second listen - it's really quite a slog it just doesn't go anywhere...

feels like the production is doing double time to make up for the underbaked song itself

Basically this but because it's Beyonce she just reinvented house music.

I think this is a bit like moaning that Madonna invented vogueing

I liked you better in the CuteBad thread.

We all have our moments.

 

[funky]

Oh goodie the Nightcrawlers sound. Because that hasn't been used in a while

 

[funky]

I mean I like it (because I mean 90s house hello) but it's so safe and nondescript. You just expect more from her.

 

[Loufoque]

I've just clocked that Mariah's "Migrate" is FOURTEEN years old. I'm done.

It might be coming up on two decades old but the notion of featuring your hips to accentuate your tits is timeless

 

[Pipo]

one has to admire The-Dream's versatility! From barely there beats, to limp finger clicks, TO THIS!

My guess is the second single will surely be something more URBAN to bring back whoever goes off her while the album will have 3-4 similar dance tracks at the most and a couple of Sia reject ballads

BIG GROWER

It's a yes from me

 

[Christian]

Calico seems to have hit the Moopy ground running

 

[Diddy]

I haven’t listened yet
I feel like once I do I’m going to be obliged to have a strong opinion

Choose your side!

 

[funky]

Love this now

It really does absolutely nothing new but hey ho!

It’s got a meaty rhythm which I’m thankful for. No more TINNY BEATS thank fuck. You can’t do that with house (though some have tried)

Apparently she’s credited the Robin S producers on the track why? It’s not a sample. And they weren’t the first to use the Korg M1 organ hook, even if they were probably the most famous.

 

[funky]

Wrong thread!

 

[K.C.]

Very fun, but very...dumb. I agree, zero originality. But I hate it when Beyonce tries to be original. I'll take this Beyonce any day.

 

[Berly]

I do like it. It’s quite an ear worm and whilst I do want MORE from her this is more of a return to gay form than we’ve had in a long time so I’ll take it.

 

[Berly]

It’s really quite basic though isn’t it

[Christian]

I was thinking how what I really want from Queen Bey is a whole album where every song samples something from 90s female black house. Get her on the CeCe, the Crystal Waters, the SABRINA JOHNSON

You weren't FAR OFF with this!

 

[K.C.]

Yeah, Handbag House is what she should've been doing THIS WHOLE TIME. All the Black legends have a noteworthy House era in their portfolio.

 

[Christian]

You won't BREAK MY SOUL
You won't BREAK MY SOUL
You won't BREAK MY SOUL

And this is track 6 on the album, which surely means that the rest of it sound JUST LIKE THIS

@VoR, I think we're in for a PARTY

 

[K.C.]

Who's already fucked to this btw?

@Pipo ?

OMG

 

[Christian]

The insane HIT when this comes back a t4:10

INCREDIBLE
