    E ela conseguiu se reinventar mais uma vez, conseguindo se manter relevante por 25 anos de carreira. As transições são tão boas que você nem sente que passou de uma música pra outra. Incrível.

    Excellent dance/pop artist. You can tell she really took her time, studied the material and executed. Beautiful and seamless track transitions.

    Once again Beyoncé manages to show how far she can continue to stretch her creativity a bit further. She explores her music, vocals, and sound in a way that almost no one else is doing, and the results are clear and amazing.
    After wondering how she could follow up Lemonade she shows that where that came from there's still much more.    … Expand

    Beyoncé continues to set the bar even higher. I love that she challenges herself by doing something new for each album. Renaissance is fun, exudes confidence and sexiness, and makes you want to dance. Vocally, she's incomparable. The production is impeccable.

    Beyoncé mais uma vez prova o porquê de ser tão aclamada. É possível sentir em cada música o trabalho vocal, a produção musical e a engenharia de som, a ambição de resgatar o pop e fazer justiça ao dance!
    Merecia muito mais que 10.

    Esse é o álbum que eu precisava: diferente, inovador, dançante, inclusivo. Beyoncé mais uma vez nos mostrou seu alcançe: completamente fora das expectativas, mas dentro da excelência de Beyoncé.

    When she sang Flawless in 2013 she really meant it.
    Since then she was continuing to give masterpiece after another.

    Perfeito, mágico, dançante. Nunca vi um álbum tão completo, as transições entre as músicas que formam um baladinha, quando você se dá conta o álbum já acabou, as referências utilizadas são sensacionais. Sem dúvidas o melhor álbum que já ouvi

    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.
