Among the 16 tracks on the album Renaissanceyou can listen to this song: Energy. What you might not know is that although the album is less than a year old (it was released last July), this song has already been edited !
Initially, in Energy we could hear a sample, a sound extract, of the song Milkshake, a classic RnB by the artist Kelis released in 2003. Except that … when the album was released, Kelis’ name does not appear in the credits.
Singer Kelis stepped up to the plate in an Instagram video: “The problem is that not only are we women, but black women, in this industry which has few. We met. We know each other. We have friends in common. This is not not difficult to contact each other. It’s just decency.”
“Spazz on that ass”
No agreement requested, not even informed. A rant that paid off since the sample disappeared from the song by Beyoncé.
It’s not the only song on the album Renaissance which had to be changed. The same week, the lyrics this time of the song Heated were pointed out: Beyoncé used the word spazz, slang that can be translated as “hyperactive” but also used in a mocking wayin French it would be an insult like “tarded”.
Many people with disabilities then expressed their disappointment. Again, the song was re-recorded. “Spazz” has been replaced by “blast”, the meaning is the same but without the discriminating connotation.
Beyoncé will be in concert in Paris on May 26 with the songs, version two, from his album Renaissance.
