What would be your reaction if you found out Beyoncé was her final musical project? That she was going to devote her time to being a wife and a mother and never make a sixth album again...
Luckily, she has entirely too much drive to clock out early like that and will be competing with Blue her debut album , but if that happened, I'd be highly upset.
I would be disappointed but it would be her ending on a high note.
To me, that would be my reaction. She had so many amazing songs, that if this was her last album, there'd be no shame or anger. I'd be ecstatic if this was her swan album! Sad to see such an amazing artist depart, but happy with whatever decision she made...
But what a nice way to leave the industry, releasing an acclaimed album with no release date or promo yet still selling more than promoted and anticipated albums.
