    Announced via an Instagram bio, nothing could prepare one for such a euphoric, ecstatic and total bop of a project. Renaissance has been carefully crafted for those who love to dance, have fun and just enjoy life!

Renaissance has been carefully crafted for those who love to dance, have fun and just enjoy life! An album that is extremely needed in today’s society where the threat of recessions, war and health problems can become overpowering, but no one or nothing can overpower Queen Bey! I would dare say Renaissance knocks Self-Titled off the top spot of Beyoncé’s whole discography! Expand

    this album is so grooving and dancy and so relatable. she really felt comfortable doing this project and you can tell. the production, vocals, the sampling. everything’s on par. she even done her research and involved the black lgbt and dance pop artists before her. she deserves her flowers

    Her best album! My favorites are All up in your mind (underrated), America has a problem and alien superstar :)

    It’s crazy to think that Beyoncé managed to top Lemonade with this album, and after three (THREE!!) projects with visuals, she convinced the world that her album does not need them to be good.

    Truly an one of one, nobody can’t think like her.

    Beyoncé yielded an ageless club masterpiece. To call Beyoncé a titan and icon in the music industry is a complete understatement of who she truly is. She always brings something new whilst elevating and celebrating her past. Like she states in ALIEN SUPERSTAR, she is one of one, she is number one.

    Excellent from top to bottom. The 1hr 2 min go by so fast that you have no choice but to restart the whole thing from the top, the transitions are top tier, and you can tell that she really took her time to perfect this album. Worth the wait for a solo Beyoncé album.

    The album is wonderful, the way the songs connect with each other in the transitions is perfect. Beyoncé once again overcoming and showing that she always runs the game!

    I am a bit of a reserved person, but this album makes me want to get up and dance ( of course when no one is around lol). The songs make me feel good and free. The album sounds really fresh compared to other albums I've listened to. I like the fact that she released the clean version of the album too. The only criticism I have is the album cover, although iconic, I wish she was more covered.

    Best album of the last decade period, her soaring vocals, homage to the lgbtq community is un comparable. Smooth transition cap off the perfect album, the queen is back taking charge

    This is the best album by Beyoncé to date and you cannot tell me otherwise. I didn't know Bey could make me wanna go to clubs this bad.

    Her best work to date. The way she constantly tops herself is outstanding. She’s a once in a lifetime artist and we should be grateful that we’re living at the same time as her. There will never be another Beyoncé.

    Renaissance é sexy e super divertido, feito para celebrar, feito para dançar e enlouquecer. Já Beyoncé, é forte em qualquer fase ou estilo!

    Perfeito.
    O álbum traz claramente um estilo que é desconhecido para os jovens atualmente, fazendo eles dançarem, se divertirem e renascerem.

    The best, most cohesive I think I have ever heard in my life. Renaissance is an instant classic. If you don’t like this album then I’m really not sure what to tell you or how I feel about you.

    Obsessed! Another legendary art from Bey! And hearing her isolated vocals for each song made me even more addicted to this album.

    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.
