I totally agree. There isn't any merit in publicly throwing tantrums over someone's choice to take their own work in a different direction. Why try to shade the woman that gave him a platform to launch his career to begin with? Just because he doesn't agree and he thinks whatever he was doing was better doesn't mean it's
right to lash out at her when she did nothing to him. The reason why no two Bey albums have the same sounds or feels is because Bey is so transient with her collaborators.
She has her phases and seasons with particular people to help give things a certain flavor and then she moves on. I guess Boots felt like he was going to be working with her closely from here on and took it personally when she does what she always does and switched directions -- I get why he would be upset, but he needs to learn how to handle his feelings privately without slickly cutting down the
only person that looked at him, heard his work and saw potential. In his own words not long before she gave him that chance, he was homeless and about to give up yet now he's taking shots at her for simply changing the direction of
her own work? Really? That was foul and he was wrong. I loved the way her chemistry worked with Boots and I would love to hear more of their work, but I also love the chemistry she had with Shea Taylor on 4 -- at the end of the day, it's not just the producer that makes the magic.
Anyway, I trust Bey and where she's at in her artistry right now to deliver quality regardless of who she is choosing to work with. She's been flourishing in her sounds since getting Mathew out of her ear and she's only been getting better and better (even though the sustained promo has fallen to pieces and has progressively gotten worse
).
. They usually remind me of what an expendable record B'Day ultimately turned out as.
I mean hsi work on Selftitled was amazing, but if Bey gets someone equally as refreshing or even more, than I am all here for more change
