This album, this album. It has been on repeat non-stop for me since it dropped. ALLIIGATOR TEARS is one my favorites. The tones and harmonies are so haunting. I'm obsessed. I think this might be her best yet too, but agree that The Gift is highly underrated...that is one of my favorite albums. I'm a Virgo and I'm always trying to tap into whatever is Beyonce has, but for now I'll just keep leaning on her work for the inspiration of knowing how powerful I am.

Every time I listen I swear another song catches my attention! Right now TYRANT is my fave, but they’re all so damn good! And yes, The Gift was LIFE-CHANGING for me and I’ll always love her for that! 🙌🏾👑🐝
