    "RENAISSANCE" is everything Beyoncé fans had hoped for, it's a cohesive album, with flawless transitions between tracks and extremely danceable and engaging beats. It's one of those albums you didn't know you needed until you heard it. It is, without a doubt, the best album released this year.

    On Beyoncé’s 7th Studio Album, she makes a perfectly produced, sung, and written album that achieves a score of a 10 by simply doing nothing wrong instead of making any grand statements.

    Masterpiece! An album with mastery in Production. An album bringing back Ballroom, Bounce and House to the community. Beyoncé bragged her music ears in vocal production from vocal layering to contemporary song structure. This is Beyoncé, the Queen

    Beyoncé lo vuelve a hacer y se vuelve a confirmar que la única competencia de Beyoncé es únicamente Beyoncé. Renaissance traza su propio camino donde no busca igualar o seguir los pasos de sus predecesores, con ritmos de décadas pasadas y samples icónicos muy bien utilizados, sin duda alguna se destaca por su gran ritmo en la pista de baile.

    As an artist close to 30 years in the music industry, Beyoncé has done something most artist cannot do. She has made samples seem new and fresh. Cuff it, Cozy, Break My Soul, Virgo Groove, Pure/Honey & Summer Renaissance are top tracks for me.

    An exciting re-invention of Beyoncé’s sound. An homage to the gay club scene and her uncle Johnny that succeeds enormously in each aspect it hopes to achieve. Some of the best production I have heard in a recent album. I suppose we all know where the ‘Album of the Year’ Grammy will go, and deservedly so.

    This album is very cohesive with its influence in dance and its powerful statements reminiscent of Maya Angelo mixed with a dash of hip hop and an “I’m that girl” attitude. It’s truly meant for the gays and the girls. Currently, my top 4 out of 7 album from Beyoncé.

    Fearless, unapologetic, brave. One thing I have noticed about Beyoncé is she never repeats any of her past albums' sounds twice. RENAISSANCE shows us another aspect of Beyoncé that clearly shows her creative prowess and how intentional she is with her music, and her art. A quintessential album in a time to celebrate, or break free- 'releasing the anger, the vibe, the stress.'
