Your support makes all the difference.It's what the world has been waiting for, but are Beyoncé and Jay Z finally ready to publicly address all those Lemonade-fuelled rumours? In the only manner the pair know how to do, AKA a new album and new musical narratives to unweave.
A curious piece by Page Six claims the couple has just completed on a brand new joint album, set to drop on Tidal at any point soon. "Jay and Beyoncé were never going to do an interview to address all the questions that came up after Lemonade," a source told Page Six. "It’s more their style to respond through music."
It's important to take the news with a grain of salt here, particularly with no other sources to back up the claim. That said, this report could be referencing the already rumoured solo Jay Z album; specifically planned as a response by the rapper to Lemonade, with reports he's been seen in the studio recently. Could the album then actually be a joint venture?
The release of Lemonade, of course, sparked furious speculation as to the apparent accusations of infidelity contained with the album's lyrics; specifically in the likes of "Hurt Yourself"'s, "If you try this sh*t again/ You gon' lose your wife", and "Sorry"'s "He only want me when I'm not there/ He better call Becky with the good hair".
Considering the album's trajectory certainly indicates the couple is once more on good terms, concluding with the reconciliatory track "All Night", it'll be interesting to see what exactly the pair might be planning as a follow-up to the album.
And, though they appear conflicting, the very weight of the rumours do seem to indicate something big is on the horizon.
