Whereas “Bow Down” and “I Been On” lack a beginning, middle, and end, Whereas “Bow Down” is around 1min long, Whereas I consider them to be separate entities although they were released simultaneously | From this point on I will refer to them by their names or as interludes (that’s fair right?)
As interludes I feel like there is not much of an opinion to have…
I am not gonna’ lie, I’m a bit confused as to what direction the album will take and this release made me a bit apprehensive — Bey is clearly not concerned with my vision for the project!
Beyonce is one of (very) few artists who can get two interludes played on the radio. Multiple times.
Did anyone else picture the look on Michelle Obama’s face when she heard “Bow Down”?
Maybe she went with this slightly basic approach (lyrically) to give herself some room to breathe creatively — hopefully the album’s content will be fun, soulful, emotionally-charge, and innovative with a side of “ratchet.” Just a side. Two sides? But not the whole plate.
