The strongest melody Beyonce has (possibly in her whole career) is Love on Top.
And ironically, that actually was done acapella on tour, and sounded amazing. |
They have distinctive, non-linear melodies. Which is the cost of her musically experimenting.
I mean, Yonce's one minute has like 3 different melodies. Drunk In Love pop chorus are interpolated with rap verses. And Haunted, like you said, is a mix of spoken refrain and the melodic chorus.
Literally nothing you've posed is of substance. I'm just getting that she didn't do streamlined pop melodies like Halo, Love On Top, and XO.
Which is true, but it doesn't mean the melodies of her more interesting songs are weak.
Anyway, literally everything on Lemonade counters this claim. Since it's a pretty melodic album from Pray You Catch Me, to Daddy Lessons, to All Night.
