They're getting critical acclaim and cash. I bet they're satisfied.

The EP is the 6 songs and 10 videos

They are 100% the X10 Videos, as each track is listed as a music video in iTunes (just like the Self-Titled videos have the TV icon next to them in the iTunes store). It's priced so that it's easier for people to get the content without having to spend ludicrous amounts of money, or for people who bought the original album and don't need it again.

Thanks guys. I looked up the pre-order on my phone so the TV icon wasn't present. I also just noticed that it's priced in US$ on my phone. It should be even cheaper than 9 bucks when the currency is corrected to Euro.

Oh I said this once and got dragged in the base. The young producers won't boycott her because they need the acclaim. The bigger ones however, who are just looking to make money may boycott her.

I doubt it though. She's still Beyoncé.

But if that is the case, fine by me. More room for new, fresh producers.

Exactly. Look at the gem that is BOOTS. Imagine the amount of other fresh producers that are out there.

[SneakerNerd]

No producer is going to boycott Beyonce because at the end of the day, whether the song is a success or not as a single, they still make money based off the amount of albums she sells.

At this point, her team needs to start thinking now on how the next project should be promoted because the whole no promo thing probably won't make such a big statement the 2nd time around.

Yes!

But to be fair, although Beyoncé worked with some overused producers (Ryan Tedder, Timbaland, Pharrell) she still managed to turn those songs OUT!

Exactly. I'm not here for not knowing anything again. I want to know exactly when the album is coming. If she uses the surprise release again, it's going to get tired fast.

[50thStateofMind]

The Parkwood team said they wouldn't do a surprise release again, but I do hope they continue with innovative releases. I hope she doesn't return to the regular release formula.

[SneakerNerd]

I can see her trying to slightly mimic the surprise element by telling us on a Monday that the album will be out on Tuesday

This announcement will be a 30 second commercial blurb on a few major television networks previewing some of the music.

This.

I'd love for the next album to be in two parts.

[PrettyHurts]

I kinda wanted Jay's Partition Remix too......

[*-ChriZ-*]

what would be the next big thing to do in terms of an album release? I could actually see her renting the entire New York Time Square for on hour and play all of her music there or sth like that xD

This is purely speculation, but I'm hoping for 2 preceding singles (in the summer) with an announcement of the album (but not the release date) on the release day of the second single, and a Black Friday/Thanksgiving/Autumn Special on the Album release day with a suprise release announcement as the credits cross the screen. I really wanted a dual release single, but it takes two contrasting tracks that will cross-over towards each other and not cannabalize the other's audience impressions (ex. IIWAB & SL from I Am... vs. XO & DIL from DIL)

Promo
- SNL, Ellen, Dick Clark's New Years Rockin' Eve

Commercials:
- L'OREAL PARIS, Topshop (both with Bey music) + Wilkes Participacoes (The largest retail company based in Brazil) + Deola Segoe/Kreyann/Lion Cloth & Ashes (Three African clothing companies that are making big moves)

http://answersafrica.com/african-clothing-brands.html

Hopeful Festivals:
- Rock In Rio Vegas, Made In America, Mardi Gras performance, Reggae Sumfest in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Mwazine (the second largest music festival in the world, located in Morocco)

I know I'm crazy because I pay attention to detail, but obviously you guys know I'm hoping for a world music themed album with Alternative/Pop/Urban/Dance Influences.

[Iman]

not some of yall acting like bey has not been promoting for consecutive eras.

this "no promo" thing is just for this era and if any producers wanna boycott her for that, then its their loss

[Lose My Breath]

There is no way a producer is going to boycott Beyonce because of promotion

[PrettyHurts]

kinda upset that SOTS is just the reggae remix........the producers of the new songs sound promising though...even though combined they're shorter than "Rocket"

[PrettyHurts]

the blow remix being the same length as the original is troubling.........

Me and the chick I was sitting next to at the concert when OFF to his little rap. Kinda makes me mad that he wasn't on Partition from the jump. It's ok, though. It's already perfect.

I mean... as long as they get paid for the song, whatever Bey does with it is her business. BIG producers work with flops 24/7 and Bey is far from being that so why would they "boycott" her? What an odd [and stupid] thing to say
