    Si, podemos sentir el espíritu de liberación y las vibras dance a través de todo el album; pero en últimas Beyonce nos presenta más de lo mismo. Ya la hemos visto triunfar desde hace dos discos atrás con estos mismos derroteros líricos y culturales, lo cual convierte el acto de escuchar a la artista en una actividad redydante.

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).

Beyoncé somehow manages to, once again, completely reinvent her sound while making every song uniquely her own. She is a musical auteur, putting her touch on every lyric, every trill, every consonant—every detail.

    The album, heavily inspired by the Disco, House and Ballroom genres, is a sonic ode to confidence, acceptance and elation. Though the album does not have any signature Beyoncé ballads (the closest being the groovy love song, “Plastic Off the Sofa”), it still showcases the vocal control and acrobatics of Beyoncé’s trained instrument. From her melodic runs, to her harmonic backing vocals, all the way to her forceful commanding raps, Beyoncé demands awe and attention.

    Musically, Renaissance blends together like a perfect recipe, with each song standing out on its own but seemlessoy transitioning to the next while contributing to the overall product. It’s a cohesive body of work that sees Beyoncé get down and dirty while paying homage to LGBTQ+ culture that originated in Black queer and trans communities. The album includes contributions from some of the queer community’s biggest artists, including Big Freedia, TS Madison, Kevin Aviance and Honey Dijon. Among the club soundscape, you’ll also hear an unexpected sample of The Clark Sisters’ “Center of Thy Will” on “Church Girl”—a track that, perhaps, encourages you to get on your knees in other ways after you “drop it like a thottie.” It’s the cheeky juxtaposition that many of us have come to witness in real life: sometimes, the most devoted “church girls” are the wildest outside of the pews. And Beyoncé channels it into a dance anthem.

    The sounds of the album may take a while for some people to get used to, especially those who are not familiar with House music or Ballroom culture. But if you give the new sounds a chance, they will surely grow on you. Renaissance is an experimental risk that Beyoncé has taken to provide us with a joyous dance album, and that risk has paid off.    … Expand

    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

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.

    Edit: So this album is surprisingly growing on me already. Some of the songs I was on the fence about before, but liking now are "Virgo's Groove" (shockingly) and the closing track. Still not fond of the lyrics, but I'm really trying to ignore it and just let the production make up for it.

    Alright, B7, the album we've all been waiting for.

    Let's get the negatives out of the way first. With most of the songs, I absolutely love the production, so it's the lyrics that are the biggest problem here, for me personally. To be fair to Bey, not everyone is going to have an issue with this, but I really didn't like the overtly sexual lyrics, especially given that their quality oftentimes wavers. The expletives themselves are fine (in fact, the Princess Loko sample in "I'm That Girl" is one of my favorite elements in the entire album, and I'm pretty sure my soul left for a moment when she said the world is going to be painted kitty pink.), I simply prefer to stay clear of very sensual songs. Even with the subject matter, however, improvements certainly could have been made regarding the lyrics. While it's a dance record, and the lyrics of course don't have to be as deep as, say Lemonade, there's not much of an excuse for literally half of "Plastic Off The Sofa" consisting of the word "baby." There are other times where the vocal delivery seemed a bit off as well for some reason.

    Now, the positives. :) The vogue ballroom sound is the biggest highlight here, without a doubt. It's talented, brilliant, incredible, show-stopping, and can be put into a blender. Along with that, Bey managed to avoid what seems like the most common problem when artists try ballroom/house, which is everything sounding like the same song. I noticed other reviews mentioning that it does sound repetitive, but I don't think so. It must also be noted how much different this is from all her other albums, so much respect to her for still trying new things after all these years.

    Something tells me that I'll appreciate Renaissance as a independent body of work a lot more once the trilogy is complete, but, overall, I would say this album is a total vibe, even if it takes some time to get cozy with it. I hope this helps!

    Favorites on first/second listens: "I'm That Girl," "Heated," "Thique," "Pure"

I’m trying to see if this is her best album right now, but only time will tell. I am on my 17th rotation within the last 12 hours. It’s amazingly produced. She is the EPITOME of a legend. THE Legend. THE QUEEN B. … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know a lot of people who enjoyed Beyoncé’s previous works will hate to hear my opinion, but Renaissance is her weakest and most repetitious album so far. If one says she was aiming for consistency, I’ll say that she has outdone herself in this goal and made an incredibly lyrically and melodically boring album. When I was listening to it for the first time, I wondered how such a talented person like Beyonce who once made such bangers as Crazy in love, Single Ladies, Halo, Irreplaceable, and Run the world, could allow to release something so mediocre.… Expand

    There's nothing Beyoncé can't do. She showcases her voice in many different levels we didn't think it was possible. The transitions? An experience! How can every song be so different but connect perfectly? She did it again.

    This album as a body of work is nothing less than exceptional. The production, the vocals, the references and the influences have shown that Beyoncé is a master at what she does. Possibly one of the greatest albums I have ever heard, not just from Beyoncé.

    MARAVILHOSO! Esse álbum está uma loucura era o que eu precisava. Dificilmente consigo gostar de todas as músicas em um álbum, mas você conseguiu Beyoncé. As transições são perfeitas também, e esta é uma marca da Queen B.   Ressalto ainda, o fato de não ter visuais que aprimora ainda mais a experiência, simplesmente deixa tocar e sinta,,,,

    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.
