    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It won't be so positive review, even if it's 8/10, because it's only 8/10. It should be 10/10. B got us used to perfection. But it's not perfection.

    After capitalizing black feminism on self-titled album and cheating trauma on "Lemonade", she goes to the queer culture with no excuses and musically it's not as good as it should be. Tracks are okay, but after six years we are receiving still the same deep vibes.

    "Virgo's Groove" reminds me the music from GTA: Vice City radio. "Pure/Honey" should be served as a liquid, not as music, because it's too tasty. "Cuff It" is better in a non-explicit version. "Energy" is too short. "Break My Soul" is appropriation of queer space, but music is more important at this point and musically it's excellent (if you skip the non-excellent chorus). "All Up In Your Mind" is pretty strong, "America Has A Problem" is pretty fast, "Summer Renaissance" is a good ending and "Alien Superstar" is the best confirmation that B is still Queen B.

    Other tracks are very good, but not as good to mention. It means that they aren't as good as they should be. Sorry not sorry.

    8/10 because it's the same good B, as perfect as she ever has been since 2013.    … Expand

    The Queen has done it again. She never ceases to amaze me and outdo herself. She has grown out of the box and thrown it away. She has taken what was a precious culture to an endangered and marginalized group and spread it all over the world so we can all celebrate the love and light that is ballroom culture. She is putting on for the girls and the gays that were not able to see today. TheThe Queen has done it again. She never ceases to amaze me and outdo herself.

    Very unusual album from Beyonce. Although not a masterpiece like Lemonade was, I like how it is pretty unusual and in some cases strange. The best thing about this album is how the songs are "mixed" and transit immediatelly from one to next one; like Madonna's Confessions on a Dance Floor. Ny favourites: I'm That Girl, Alien Superstar and America Has A Problem.

    This is undoubtedly Beyoncé's best album. I have not turned it off once since it came out on July 29.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Excelente álbum. La forma en que Beyoncé fusiona nuevos sonidos, armonías, a la vez que los interpola con samples de grandes clásicos de la música negra house/electrónica de los 80s y 90s es única. Definitivamente Álbum del Año ❤️… Expand

    She is the best performer of all time and she always serves with her albums. All her albums sound different and ground-breaking. Renaissance has great house/disco/dance/pop songs with some sprinkle of R&B, which Beyoncé has never abondoned. 10/10!

    She’s a true alien superstar. She reinvented herself with this record. It sounds so different
    from her previous work, and it shows how creative and artistic she is. She's in the business for more than 20 years and she hit a lot of peaks already, but this will be the defining moment for her career.

    Listen up haters,this album is without a doubt fantastic; if you don't enjoy it, move on because you weren't supposed to. I can't wait for Act II, Beyoncé. This album is fantastic.

    Her best album. Hits upon hits the transitions are insane. It’s impressive that Beyoncé is able to create her best album after being in this industry for so many years. Wow.

    From the first time I hit that play button I was intrigued and captured by the beauty, talent and craftsmanship by the Queen herself. A no skip album like her predecessors Lemonade and Beyonce. Beyonce the gift that you are.

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

    Beyoncé's seventh solo album is a flawlessly structured feast. [Oct 2022, p.25]

    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.
