At first when we were assigned to write the liner note, I was a little nervous and confused just because I had never heard of one before and it is certainly a different structure than writing an essay. However, once I got the general feel for it, I realized it was not so hard, and it turned out to be actually enjoyable to write. I loved researching Beyonce's songs and background. It was remarkable to learn about all the effort and meaning that goes into each of her tracks. Also, since she is such a popular artist, is was very easy to find credible analysis and interviews.
I had a common theme in my playlist, so relating each song back to that really worked for my liner note and added depth and a purpose to my playlist. However, at times I felt like there was so much to include from quotes from Beyonce herself, to lyric analysis, to commentary on the music video. Since there are so many aspects to each one of her songs, I felt as though I could not include all that I wanted to. Overall, I enjoyed writing the liner note because it was unlike any other english assignment I have had before.
