everything is love — Blog — The Kincaid Journal

A pleasant good morning readers. How did you spend your weekends? I hope it was an eventful one. This past Friday I spent the evening with Shawn Corey Carter and Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter at the New Jersey stop of the On the Run II tour.

Before I dive into this post I must preface it by stating it is no secret that I pay very close attention to the first couple in music but I am also very critical of them. When this tour was announced on Monday, March 12, 2018, I was ecstatic. Individually, Jay-Z is a phenomenal guy and Beyoncé is discipline and ambition wrapped in beauty. Despite the hurdles of their past, as a couple, they represent ideals of a gargantuan level when they come together.

The moment we all waited for finally arrived. The Carters (JAY-Z and Beyoncé) released their joint album, 'EVERYTHING IS LOVE,' this past Saturday. The album was a longtime coming since the rumors first surfaced in 2014, around the time of the first 'On The Run' tour. 'Lemonade' and '4:44' came and went and still there was no album. The rumors reached a fever pitch when the 'On The Run II' tour was announced this past Spring. There was no was way The Carters would go on tour, under the same name, and deliver the same set. So, it was just a question of when the album would be released.

So, the album is here. Upon, listening to the album it makes sense that this would be the third in the trilogy of albums. 'Lemonade' was Beyoncé's revelation of being cheated on, '4:44' was JAY-Z asking for forgiveness and 'EVERYTHING IS LOVE' is the reformation and reparation of them as a couple. Well played Carters, well played.
