I would like to start off this article by simply stating that Beyoncé is actually a goddess. She must have made some type of deal with some higher power because, honestly, nobody looks that good after having a child. Using this divine leverage, Beyoncé, with occasional assistance by husband Jay-Z and even baby Blue Ivy, has gone down a path toward ultimate power.
With her new album, Beyoncé hopes to launch her new plan of world domination (not that anyone’s complaining). Using seemingly catchy, harmless lines like “Cigars on ice,” she secretly brainwashes listeners into becoming minions in her plan. She encourages her fans to put cigars on ice, which probably creates some type of potion that would allow them to follow her more intensely and assist in her grand plan.
This is not the first time Bey has used her platform as Sasha Fierce to employ followers through songs. Does anyone remember her catchy single, Single Ladies? The song may seem innocent until the lyrics “If you like it then you should have put a ring on it” are more closely studied. Who is “liking it”? Perhaps former despots and Greek gods who pass on the ceremonial “ring” of ultimate power and ruling.
Her new self-titled surprise album that dropped in December of 2013 was created because she claims she “sees music.” If that isn’t proof that she is some type of savant, then I don’t know what is. The visual album was created for her fans, or followers. I get a strange feeling that it was written and produced perhaps overnight, using the supernatural powers that she possesses to make it perfect.
The videos that go with each song on the surprise album express the feeling of the song while using subliminal messaging that nobody else probably noticed. For instance, during the song “Superpower”’s music video, people hold up posters. Little do many notice, but one of the posters actually says “follow Beyoncé into the darkness” and another states “JOIN US.”
The moral of the story is that Beyoncé will take over the world whether we like it or not, so we might as well embrace it. I would personally rather have her lead our species than anyone else. On the bright side, maybe we can all learn how to be that fabulous.
