Have you guys noticed how Beyoncé is the only one trying to change the game, keeping things fresh and new?

Literally every pop star does this.

RTW was release in a EDM trend era.

Set myself up for what exactly? If you're going to waste time typing about Rihanna following trends, I'm pretty sure we all already knew this.

Pon de floor wasn't a mainstream hit. she's a mainstream artist so everything she bring that the GP previously ignored is INNOVATIVE. and don't act like RTW is the only song on 4 you really make yourself look so ignorant sometimes because you want to diminish her legacy but darling you can't.

The most exciting artist in the game

Copying an existing underground trend isn't innovative just because you're a mainstream artist. Innovation is creating something new, as stated in the OP. Not quite sure why you still don't get it.

Stop

Not at all. In fact, almost every relevant pop girl has reinvented the music scene at one point except her.

[monsterLd]

The only thing fresh she has done is the surprise release. Her music lately (take note I love her) hasn't lived up to the hype she and people make it out to be

Delusional.

[Shannel]

Yes!

No one in the outside world takes what those confused teenagers on this site say seriously.This site is a joke .

[Boomer]

Wow...yeah. Gotta agree.

The U2 release. J. Cole's up coming release (without a single or any promotion before hand). She sets the trends and the music world follows.

[Horus]

Using a different release strategy like David Bowie and Radiohead (before her) and doing an attempt to create a viral video like many artists (before her) means reinvention???
Oh hive...

[*-ChriZ-*]

alone the fact that people expected something completely different from 7/11 and what did we get? Pure Trap music, almost no Pop influence. Acknowledge the fact that Bey is doing her thing and is not keen on following any trends. Either way, there wouldnt have been songs like "Haunted", "Ghost", "I been on", "No Angel" on the album. These are songs which are very outside the box for a pop artist and I doubt any other popchick would dare to record something like these. Why? Because they are dependent on their label and management. Beyonce is her own management though, she does what she likes and therefore, Im giving her major props! People like Taylor or Katy probably wish at night to have the freedom Beyonce has.
