    TENS across the board. After masterpiece Lemonade, Beyoncé does what only the Queen of Music can do: create an ode to the past with new, innovative, dazzling new songs.

    Beyoncé entregou o melhor álbum do ano sem prometer nada. A evolução da House Disco completa nesse álbum. Bem executado, coerente, de um bom tom inigualável. Sem dúvidas faz jus ao título de Queen.

    A Shattered Disco Ball of Experimentation and Champagne

    If, after Homecoming, and songs like Mood 4 Eva, you thought Beyoncé could not reach a new level of confidence and bravado, think again. This is Beyoncé at her boldest and most irreverent.

    If, after Homecoming, and songs like Mood 4 Eva, you thought Beyoncé could not reach a new level of confidence and bravado, think again. This is Beyoncé at her boldest and most irreverent. This album feels like Beyoncé swallowed the essence of an illegal rave in downtown New York before conducting a hotbox session with the spirits of Prince and MJ. This woman has never sounded better. Her new lower-register is rich and chocolatey - while her highs have become breathy and soaring to such an extent they border on the supernatural. A huge nod to the producers and sequencers who stitched each track so seamlessly, it's almost sacrilegious not to listen to it in its entirety each time you want to indulge.
    Beyoncé has achieved something truly stunning that sounds both vintage, abstract, and ahead of itself. Lovely. Just lovely.    … Expand

    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.
