Not necessarily, Matthew and Beyoncé just had different mentalities, one was singles driven (which produced her worst albums to date: DiL & IASF) while the other is album driven.
It's pretty evident that he was the driving force behind her singles success. We're three albums post-Matthew.
After speculation last month that Bajan beauty Rihanna was in the studio recording new tracks for a ‘Loud’ re-release, Rihanna has today confirmed that she is forging ahead with a brand new album.
Stating that “Loud is it’s own body of work”, she went on to confirm that her fans deserve something brand new.
Views isn't getting that many mentions in the YEL though. And while I agree that Lemonade is overrated as **** (and so would any non-delusional person), the difference isn't really "stark". Currents is has some filler. Vulnicura is amazing but Bjork is better than everybody so that's not really fair. The issue isn't "Black Lives Matter privilege" or whatever. Freetown Sound was a very political album and it deserved to top all these lists instead of Lemonade. The problem is just herd mentality, whether it be with black or white artists. Radiohead and Bowie don't deserve to be up there more than Beyonce and Kanye.
Freetown Sound wasnt a great album tho, not for Dev's standards at least
They make really good albums too
