true 
That's what I love about Diane working with her! I feel she gets her.
Listen, Beyonce released 17 videos on Self Titled. I don't think a single one is iconic.
A lot of them are dope, but they didn't really penetrate the culture the way "Formation" and "Hold Up" did. That's how I feel about Ci's video catalog.
Ci should make a strong album and let Diane at least do the first or 2nd single.
Yeah, she'll more than likely use her again. They definitely have a vibe.
Flawless is an iconic video to me.
That and Yonce. But she traveled in a completely new direction for self_titled videos. The dancers in the background format only happened on Blow. There were burquas flying all over the screens. She proved how she could transform herself for every visual, by not playing up to her obvious archetypes. I'm not shocked she didn't get Single Ladies type shine for that album. The album itself was an iconic moment.
I agree with you. I think the Self Titled album and videos were both about rebranding her image for the 2nd half of her career. It was the first time we started seeing her as an adult woman and not so cutesy or performance based. Honestly, the Self Titled videos feel very cinematic. Kind of what you were just saying you wanted for Ci.

I just don't think there's one in particular that really moved the needle, and that's totally okay. "Partition" is my favorite. Shot by Jake Nava ("Crazy In Love", "Single Ladies", "Flawless", etc.).
I just prefer where she went with Lemonade. And I honestly am a little unsure if she can top it. I mean, Lemonade was such an iconic era overall.
How can her next album penetrate the world the way the "Formation" video, "Formation" Super Bowl performance and the movie did? Just all the controversy and discussion that came with this from "Becky With The Good Hair" to whatever else.
EEK!
But we'll see!
It gets harder every time you drop. I'll admit that I am nervous for her this time around.
