    Adding to the abundance of retro-futurism permeating the landscape of pop & underscoring the need for escapism in a tumultuous time - Beyoncé has crafted yet another masterpiece in her oeuvre. RENAISSANCE is a journey, an experience, and a tribute all at once. A call to the dance floor, a battle cry to the rave. It’s Beyoncé’s world and we’re living in it.

    Her best work to date. Not afraid of taking risks, creating top quality songs, excellency from start to finish. There is a feeling of her old previous records being put in a blender and this coming out. Love the disco sound, love the confident lyrics she always writes. This album is raw, sexy, fun, classy. She once again proved that she's the greatest artist alive.

    “Renaissance” is the sound we’ve been needing for a long time. From the vocals, harmonies, beat, and samples Beyoncé has truly created a masterpiece, yet again. Not to mention the way songs transition beautifully to next. If anything this album reminds me of artists who make music/quick albums simply for hits rather than to make art and how i can appreciate real music over a “quick hit”.“Renaissance” is the sound we’ve been needing for a long time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tantalising; full of hope in a time where, in the creation of this first act, covid was amidst the lives of many & society full of fear- Renaissance is a joy to many, a pop/dance attributed album with hints of hip-hop influence combined with rap that just makes you feel good. In a different direction to her last album, Lemonade, Beyoncé is showing that she can use her music for the greater good; to dissipate the negativity swirled by the terror of the past few years. A great addition to her discography, yet, alas, it is not perfect either in my opinion. Despite all of the positivity oozing out of this album & its messages, some tracks sound, unfinished, or, upon initial listen, don’t really grasp me. I would have loved to see some more experiments in production outside of the trap-pop beat and influences, but I understand this album is one act out of possibly a trilogy of albums, which in itself is truly exciting. All in all, a solid album with some great take-away messages. Beyoncé never fails to enlighten our moods and souls with her music, and this one is no exception.… Expand

    This is absolutely a piece of art. The whole album is specially made to be heard like a full song divided in 16 parts that doesn’t look alike but are complimentary to each other. The transitions are insane, I don’t remember any album doing something like this before with this accuracy. I can’t describe how she overpassed what I was expecting. All these songs will be even better on liveThis is absolutely a piece of art. The whole album is specially made to be heard like a full song divided in 16 parts that doesn’t look alike but are complimentary to each other.

    A Verdadeira dona da Indústria musical servindo seu primeiro álbum com investimento na era dos streamings. Trazendo de volta a celebração da vida, numa época em que ser gay, queer e preto era um pecado. Beyoncé eu nunca serei capaz de agradecer a Deus por ter me dado a oportunidade de nascer na mesma época que você. ❤️

    Simplesmente uma viagem aos anos 80 e 90, mas ao mesmo tempo uma viagem ao futuro, foi isso que ela conseguiu com esse incrível e impecável álbum. Usando grandes samples da história da música negra não só nos Estados Unidos, mas do mundo inteiro, ela conseguiu harmonias perfeitas, com batidas vibrantes que te fazem dançar querendo ou não.

Usando grandes samples da história da música negra não só nos Estados Unidos, mas do mundo inteiro, ela conseguiu harmonias perfeitas, com batidas vibrantes que te fazem dançar querendo ou não. Todas as 16 faixas são bem selecionadas e bem produzidas, eu não mudaria uma vírgula em toda a obra. Beyoncé tem se provado uma artista como nenhuma outra na história do POP, e seu sétimo álbum de estúdio é uma prova disso, algo inimaginável diante da grandeza do Lemonade(2016), que por sua vez superou a grandeza do álbum Beyoncé(2013). Resta esperar os outros dois alguns e tudo que essa nova era vai nos proporcionar.… Expand

    My review of #Renaissance:
    Beyoncé’s Renaissance is an ode to the greats of house, funk, and dance before her. The infectious melodies make you want to get up and dance; the album hearkens to memories of a great night at the club. It stands on its own as a masterpiece. While being a new sound, its a sound that fits her perfectly. The album was great, the transitions were seamless    My review of #Renaissance:

    She has reinvented herself again, exploring spaces never trodden before. beside, she is able to talk about herself at same time put some structural agendas on spolight here. And, It’s impressed how tacks, actually, seem only one, a careful job but different from that known perfection of previous jobs.

    I thought Beyoncé had reached the peak of her artistry when Lemonade came out because it was a cultural reset. Not surprisingly, here we are yet again, witnessing history being made. Renaissance its incredible from beggining to end and only Beyoncé could make a masterpiece like this.

It’s experimental, risky, but in it’s core it reeks of the classic Beyoncé we know and love. Tracks like ALIEN SUPERSTAR represent this juxtaposition through its futuristic production and the smooth, otherworldly chorus and spoken word segments. Beyoncé diverts even further away from the norm in tracks like ALL UP IN YOUR MIND where the production is intense, heavy, yet balanced by the lyrical content. Renaissance pushes the envelope through the exceptionally executed samples, blending of genres, and feel-good lyrics. Renaissance is a masterclass in paying homage to the musical legends of our time, while simultaneously being refreshing and consumable for the underrepresented groups it speaks to. 10/10.… Expand

    Renaissance derives its meaning through its diverse soundscape, which, due to Beyoncé’s astute curation, becomes a statement about letting the music speak for itself.
