[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sharp drop in her song quality is due to her firing her father as her manager and only hiring young, inexperienced songwriters. Her first four albums are all classic bodies of work that can be comfortably played around children. Her father vetoed anything too raunchy or explicit from being recorded. When he left, her lyrics became uncharacteristically vulgar and over-the-top sexual. Maybe as a rebellious phase, maybe to appeal to a younger generation. Who knows.

But we do know she has a habit of asking for songwriting credit for songs she didn't write, which major songwriters now balk at due to streaming payments for songwriters being lower than what they'd get during the CD era. So only inexperienced writers looking for exposure work on her projects, oftentimes split up into 4-5 writers for a single song. If each writer is only getting 20% publishing, it doesn't look so bad if Beyonce also gets 20%. This also puts the songwriters into a weaker negotiation position, as their 20% contribution can be easily swapped out for another writer's. The quality of her last few albums reflects this. [/quote]
I read somewhere that quite a few artists demand writing credit, and songwriters have had enough. [/quote]
