    When Beyoncé released her critically-acclaimed Grammy-winning #1 album "Lemonade", because we finally got a chance to see inside her very private life.

The fans rejoiced but jealous corny fans would still call their marriage fake. Then Jay Z released his #1 album "4:44" to confirm about his cheating past and the reconciliation. The haters seemed still not having it as they called it "a fake marketing campaign".

    Then comes this album. An album where both artists talk about forgiveness and their fantastic achievement with a lot of bangers, mostly integrates trap, reggae, soul, R&B.. This album is a proof that both Beyoncé and Jay Z has been evolving real hard aesthetically & sonically. Beyoncé finally shows off her rapping skill with great flows and Jay shows to the world who's in charge in the family. It is heavily produced and includes some of their best works.

    Even the APES**T video is stunning. Not only filled with extravagant fashion pieces, the video also feature some of the most famous art pieces in the most lavish museum in the world. Talking about promoting art to the next level.

    As for the haters:
    - Is it forbidden for two of the most successful & powerful black artists to talk about their amazing achievement?
    - Is it forbidden for B to release an album days after your favorite released a flop album which will only scan aluminum?
    - Stop saying "I miss the old Beyoncé" because, unlike your favorite, she is evolving. She's been releasing 6 different albums.

    Best Cuts: Summer, Friends, APES**T Nice & Boss.

    This album might not be what Beyoncé fans wanted right now, but you can't deny the quality of the record. The couple brings the best from their oldschool influences and from the new sounds and artists dominanting the rap scene. It is not as flawless as Lemonade or as impactful as BEYONCÉ, but it does enough to solidify Beyoncé's discography as the best of the decade in the mainstream.

    Álbum maravilhoso, feito por artistas inteligentes para fãs/ouvintes inteligentes. O vídeo de apes**t é praticamente uma aula de história e arte. Não é por acaso que certas antas não gostaram. Arrumem alguma coisa para fazer, bando de haters inúteis.

    An album that completes the trilogy of Lemonade-4: 44-Everything Is Love, closing in the best way a story. Beyoncé shows off in her rap.

The way Beyoncé and Jay-Z worked out their personal life (starting with her Lemonade, then his 4:44) and showed us their growth is just beautiful.

    It's a great album and exactly what fans were waiting for to finish the stories of Lemonade and 4:44
    Tiny critics come from someone who is probably a hater or a fans of the worst artist in this world, Britney.

    This album is so modern yet their own. Beyoncé and Jay Z shine as bright as ever. It's definitely not for everybody especially if you don't like artists changing their sounds or if you don't like hip hop.

    Ótimo álbum conjunto. Nas cenas do clipe **** onde os homens se ajoelham e depois acenam para o alto é uma referencia ao Colin Kaepernick, jogador de futebol americano que se recusou a ficar de pé para cantar o hino dos EUA, e em forma de protesto contra a injustiça racial permaneceu de joelhos. Ele foi extremamente criticado e está sem time até hoje. Beyoncé homenageou ele com um prêmioÓtimo álbum conjunto. Nas cenas do clipe **** onde os homens se ajoelham e depois acenam para o alto é uma referencia ao Colin Kaepernick, jogador de futebol americano que se recusou a ficar de pé para cantar o hino dos EUA, e em forma de protesto contra a injustiça racial permaneceu de joelhos. Ele foi extremamente criticado e está sem time até hoje. Beyoncé homenageou ele com um prêmio alguns meses atras, e recentemente surgiu um boato de que o Jay teria negado o convite para cantar no show do Superbowl, como forma de apoio. Boato esse que ele mesmo confirmou na letra da música: "I said "no" to the "Superbowl, you need me, I don't need you" " e é quando ele canta esse verso que os homens se ajoelham e depois fazem a saudação. No fim das contas, acho que essa cena é um misto de "A Intervenção das Sabinas", dos Panteras Negras e de apoio ao Colin, que é um assunto bem fresco na mídia. E é essa junção do novo com o velho que deixa esse clipe tão incrível. FRIENDS é magnífica. Ela faz rap com melismas (uma das melhores partes). HEARD ABOUT US é a mais dançante, ela faz notas vocais super difíceis como, por exemplo, um trecho que ela parte de C#4 até C#3 e volta ao C#4 na mesma respiração. Incrível. AMEI… Expand

    Even though I would have loved for them to tackle more important subjects, you gotta realize that making collab albums aint easy, and in the end this album sounds great. For me, Hov's performance is way better than Beyonce, who for me ruins it a little bit. Jay's verses are all untouchable.

    One of the best albums of 2018. Beyonce is the Queen of Vocal, the Queen of R&B, the Queen of Pop, Ballads, and then she even showed her talents in Rock and Country. Now she slayed at Rap and becomes the Queen of Rap... Bow Down Queen Bey!!!

    I mean, Beyoncé and JayZ come with everything they had, this album is all of her career, their marriage and their personal lifes, i think that's a great album, the beyhive was expecting this since 2010 haha and the day it's finally arrived. And this album is a mix of some rhytms, not just HipHop and Rap. Great album, great songs, great vocals, Thanks B&J for giving us another piece of art.

    Beyoncé like no other shows that is able to revolutionize the world of music once more, not only by releasing a perfect video clip that brings out important messages about black culture, but revealing her other side as an artist, immersing itself beautifully in Hip-hop and R & B

    Rating this a 10 to counteract the people rating it a 0 simply because they dislike two successful black artists talking about their success.

    Everything Is Love is the perfect ending to the Carter trilogy: the first two pieces being Lemonade and 4:44. Several genres are explored in each tracks, and both Bey and Jay bring their best to their newest masterwork. Favourite tracks: SUMMER, APESH*T, NICE, FRIENDS

    As an album it’s almost entirely soporifically dull though beautifully appointed throughout (and it’s a joy to hear Beyoncé rapping) by some smart production from both main protagonists and some slick grooves from the Daptone band. [Aug 2018, p.68]

    It's also a sonic master class in marital counseling and commitment, wherein Beyoncé emerges with the upper hand and a contrite Jay is lucky she's so gracious. Vocally, it's a similar story: Beyoncé shines here, balancing light rap verses ("Apeshit" and "Nice") with some of the prettiest vocals she's recorded in years ("Friends"), while Jay offers his standard braggadocious bars that nonetheless make an impact for their occasional honesty and humility.

    There’s a sense of immediacy and even unpredictability in the most restless moments on Everything In Love, which saves the album from being a rather static and defiant contemplation of The Carters’ victories.
