    Queen Bey is Back!...Feel the BEAT of the 80's and 90's in the 2020's. The Queen starts us of with I'm that Girl (reclaiming her power) and ends with Summer Renaissance (celebrating happiness and love)...Every single track on the album blends well with each other and you even lose track that you have played a new track. This Album is a celebration of Love, Blackness, and the recognition ofQueen Bey is Back!...Feel the BEAT of the 80's and 90's in the 2020's.

    I have never in myvlife heard an album so cohesive, everything is just perfect, the lyrics, the vocal production, the production overall, is just perfect, RENAISSANCE has some of Beyoncé's best vocals! This album is perfect, go check it out!

    This album is incredible, with many boos that have so much repalyability which only adds to how good this album is. It celebrates dance music and it’s culture very well, with the samples being great. No skips either, apart from I’m That Girl and Move. Apart from them, perfect! :)

    Anyone who hates this album is a racist and hates women. I see a whole bunch of trump supporters leaving bad reviews on purpose knowing damn well they didn’t listen to it. This is one of best work and it has no skips. I can’t stop listening to it

    One of Beyoncé most cohesive albums to date! Beyoncé has proven to be one of the best artist in our lifetime. The hard work and dedication she puts in her work is phenomenal! The album seamlessly plays as one song at the beginning. A tribute to the black LGBTQ+ community! Overall a great body of work.

    So far the best of her work and she's paying tribute to all dance queens and seniors. Thanks a lot Beyoncé for Sampling oldies and make them alive again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is one of the only few albums with un-skippable songs from I'm that girl all the way to Summer Renaissance, it is elegant, classy, refreshing and DIFFERENT. Beyoncé has always produced fine art and always takes pride in all her work but the way she experimented with different sounds and genres, pop, rnb and dance electronic emphasizes this fact. Truly a Summer and disco anthem. Expand

    Un album magnifiquement construit. Les rythmes les voix les sample sont très recherchés et ne donnent qu'une envie c'est de se sentir libre. L'un des meilleurs albums que j'ai écouté de ma vie.

    An amazing album from start to finish. The transitions from each song works so seamlessly. Beyoncé gave us an album we needed to dance, have fun and “release the wiggle” while still delivering vocals on songs such as “Virgo’s Groove”.

    Beyoncé’s best album to date and definitely the Album of the Year! “BREAK MY SOUL” was such a great first single and teaser as to what to expect from this album. Can’t wait for the visuals!!

    One of the greatest, if not the greatest dance albums of all time. Bey proves once again here that she can go wherever she pleases and do it better than anyone else.

    Her best work of art - songs comprised of house, disco, r&b, and more. She continues outdoing herself with her vocal, production, lyrics, sampling, and so forth. If this is what she has to offer for her first act, then I am excited to see what she has in store for the next two acts/albums.

    Vi nada demais. Pra mim os críticos só babam por causa do jabá. Músicas sem letra, repetitivas.

    TBH when I played the album the first time I skip through to hear how it sounds, then I actually listen to it track by track I only liked 3 songs by the end of the fist week I gave the album a real listen and TBH Beyoncé is an amazing woman the lyrics the beats. This mad me rate this album my second favorite album from Beyoncé now I can say it my favorite RENAISSANCE is the best albumTBH when I played the album the first time I skip through to hear how it sounds, then I actually listen to it track by track I only liked 3 songs by the end of the fist week I gave the album a real listen and TBH Beyoncé is an amazing woman the lyrics the beats.

    A continuous mix of hedonism, virtuosity, scholarship and, as one of her disco antecedents would have it, Good Times. [Nov 2022, p.84]

    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.
