“Formation” the new song/video by Beyoncé is an artistic interpretation of the culture that many in the African American community feel that they have to deal with yet the song itself adds to that annoyance. It’s beat is repetitive and piercing at times maybe to represent something more profound but I just find it annoying to listen to. Artists such as Beyoncé who might have a deep message that they want to provide the general public with should have the sound that makes you want to listen to it as well otherwise the message can be lost as we switch the station.
