Has this other unreleased song ever been discussed here? I don’t recall seeing a thread about it. On YouTube, some say it was from I Love You sessions and others are saying it is new from 2019-2020.
It has been discussed months ago it may be on her bee album
Not sure what her "bee" album is. I haven't seen many comments buzzing around about that album, but there may yet be a sting in the tale.Quote:

All us Bees are waiting for that new album
I guess we know now, it’s on the new album. The key seems a little high for her.Quote:

Let us just say it was a combination of Nile's unacceptable behaviour and a lack of vocal guidance in the studio as well as the standard of songs he selected for the project.Quote:

Upon its release ”WO” received plenty of positive trade reviews and there are many fans who post on media outlets that still enjoy the album. Vocally she sounds more engaged then she does on the “FBTP” album.
I think it’s those couple of screechy, high pitched numbers that detractors of the album remember most.
As has been said many times before, “It all comes down to personal taste.
I figured his behavior had to be at least part of the reasons why she disliked the album so much. I saw the tour and she was on fire. She gave the songs energy in her performance. She seemed to particularly enjoy performing Paradise. She looked spectacular in that short fringed black dress.Quote:

Happy memories.Quote:

Thank you Sir. Very smart lady. Notice that it says she co-wrote all 13-15 tracks on the new album. Somewhat surprised, and thankful, that she didn’t sneak Evan and Rhonda on to it also. Only because that it would open up another Avenue of attack for some people.Quote:

I think she's credited on "Thank You" for contributing the spoken word "thank you so much" and "thank you for my life" as well as the screaming "THANK YOU THANK YOU", lol.Quote:

Hey, if it worked for Beyoncé, it’s good enough for me. LolQuote:

It shows that artistically she was really involved in this project, and that should be applauded.
Why did it take her so long to start? She's been in the business for so long and is only credited for a handful of songs
I remember an interview in which she downplayed her songwriting skills by saying she’d always write “little ditty” songs like Work That Body. She stated she didn’t feel she had great songwriting skills, but tries. I guess she felt it wasn’t her strongest talent in spite of the sporadic attempts.Quote:
