2024 - Beyoncé cornered: under pressure, she makes an extremely rare decision

Beyoncé is clearly under pressure. The singer is obliged to re-record one of her titles. The reason: a term heavily criticized by Internet users.

Friday July 29, 2022, Beyoncé announced “hoping that his music would encourage people to ‘liberate the hips,’ to use the pretty formula of Big Freedia, initiator of bounce music in New Orleans” remind him Los Angeles Times. “But even Queen B’s most dedicated fans hadn’t anticipated how well the forty-year-old star would live up to their expectations with this absolutely stunning Renaissance.”The singer is finally releasing her new album, baptized Renaissance.

But now Beyoncé has made an extremely rare decision. Indeed, she is obliged to re-record a song. The reason ? The criticism on social media after using a slang word in its title Heated considered an insult by people with disabilities. It is this sentence: Spazzin’ on that ass, spazzin’ on that ass. The word in the viewfinder of Internet users: “spastic”, “spaz” which can be translated asr “moron”, “dumb”. The singer will therefore record her song again, replacing the term “spas”.

the New York Times nevertheless congratulated the singer for this new opus: “The sixteen tracks on the album all have their place on a dance floor, whatever it is […]. And on each of them, Beyoncé seems to experience something personally new and intimately awe-inspiring: unadulterated rapture. Which takes various forms: happiness, of course, but also a form of sexy rigor. Exercising control is as entertaining on this album as releasing stress.”
