The Queen is Here

Beyonce made a big impact releasing her new song “Formation.”  This song being released two days before her performance at the Super Bowl made her the biggest talk in the music world for the last couple weeks.  Whether some say she didn’t know and others say she was well aware, the impact that Beyonce left throughout the world will be talked about for a long time.  Beyonce has a lot of power as a women and this was taken well, if she wasn’t of such high power she would have possibly gotten shunned upon more.  I think it is a political song to say the least, but Beyonce knew this would be talked about and have a large impact on society.

            This song caused such a ruckus because of the time of the release and the Super Bowl performance that followed it two days later.  I watched the Super Bowl performance and thought “what is this song she is singing?”  I had no idea, I hadn’t heard the song before.  After getting assigned to watch and listen to this music video I understood why people were a little overwhelmed.  The message I felt out of the song had to do with Civil Rights and women to start standing up for what is theirs.  I understand releasing the song because it is Beyonce and she makes music but her plan was to make it loud and proud for the world to hear it.  She knew going into the Super Bowl this is the time to make the most of this song.  There are always going to be people on both side of the spectrum when it comes to whether it is right or wrong so the aftermath was pretty predictable.  Some can’t get enough of the song some people can’t stomach to listen to it again.

            Personally, I thought the song was catchy and that is was really ballsy for her to release it how she did.  This impacted a lot of people whether they are a diehard Beyonce fan or they think “who the hell is Beyonce.” Which is pretty unreasonable because who doesn’t know Beyonce….? I think this song is helping her reach out to people who feel the same way as her as well as promote herself as an artist.  It will be recognized song for change for a long time.
