Tell them you love them and don't mean it,
You'll probably say that it was juvenile,
But I think that I deserve to smile...

If you ever wondered about the power of Beyoncé, “Hold Up” took an already iconic love song of the 00s, flipped it on its head, and turned it into a massive **** off anthem. There are countless great moments in Lemonade, but “Hold Up,” which sounds as cool and collected as the yellow dress she wears in the visual accompaniment, stands out as being hard and ruthless as a hard rock song done with a smile on her face.

An amazing Frankenstein of a song, including elements from Andy Williams’s “Can’t Get Used To Losing You,” Soulja Boy’s “Turn My Swag On,” and Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Maps,” along with songwriting contributions and production from Diplo and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig, plus input from four other people including MNEK, and that’s not even counting the queen of the ****ing world (I assume Diplo just contributed the airhorn). It’s a testament to Bey’s individuality and just how big her damn personality is that, even hearing her repeating the “they don’t love you like I love you” refrain from “Maps” — a pretty damned iconic song in and of itself — it didn’t occur to me that that was from “Maps” until I re-read the song’s Wikipedia page. She has this rather remarkable ability to alchemize all sorts of source material and make it her own. Karen O’s vocal on “Maps” is a marvel of simultaneous strength and vulnerability, in a league with few singers, notably Sinéad O’Connor and Polly Jean Harvey. That song pierces my heart every time I hear it. Beyoncé, on the other hand, turns it defiant, almost a dare. “I’mma **** me up a bitch,” she sings, daring you to doubt her intentions. “What’s worse, being jealous or crazy? … I’d rather be crazy,” she answers. She’s out for blood, and wants to make sure you know it. And even with all of those bits of other songs and other producers and other writers, the track itself, on which her vocals rest uneasily, is barely even there; it’s minimalist almost to the point of being air. Yet Beyoncé owns it. No one else could pull off a song like this in the current pop universe. And we know it.

Banks is ok for me. I don't get the hype lol. White woman singing over instrumentation that i've heard before. It's better than Goddess for sure though

The seed that became Beyoncé’s “Formation” was planted by Swae Lee, one of the Rae Sremmurd duo, and A Pluss, one of Ear Drummer’s staff producers. A Pluss had started the beat back in Atlanta in 2014.
“So we’re in the middle of the desert,” Will explained. “And we’re just coming up—we just freestyle, you know?—and Swae Lee said, ‘O.K., ladies, now let’s get in formation.’ And we put it on the VoiceNote. Swae Lee’s got so many voice notes that he doesn’t even record, but I’m like, ‘Dog, we got to do that “get in formation” ****.’ That could be a hard song for the ladies. Some woman-empowerment ****.”

When will Duca get that he is in position of coming for anyone's music quality, let alone Beyoncé's, while stanning for crap like Can't Stop The Feeling (the worst song of the year)?
