    Beyonce is 20+ years into her career and has a back catalog spanning across several genres where she has experimented with difference sounds, genres and singing styles.

Renaissance simply cannot be categorised into a single genre, it’s an eclectic mix of disco, ballroom, bounce, funk and Chicago house to name a few. It’s also a tribute to dance musics historically black heritage and a nod to queer culture and representation. This is without a doubt Beyonce’s most ambitious and audacious piece of work so far and effortless ticks every single box from the vocals, the production, songwriting, to the mind blowing transitions between songs. This fully uptempo record is so liberating, feel-good and is made for loosing your inhibitions on the dance floor. Renaissance is a solid 10/10 and will not doubt be the album of the year and a timeless piece of work that will never be forgotten.… Expand

    Daring. Brillant. A cultural reset. Beyoncé’s newest project Renaissance Act I, dares to be different in a time where it’s easy for music to become repetitive. For an artist of her caliber, being 20+ years in the game, to constantly challenge herself to find new sounds and sonic avenues, Renaissance is just that: A rebirth of an icon.

    This definitely a 10/10 album because it’s so different from the rest of her discography and I love that. It’s also gives a 70s/80s/90s house dance and disco with a mix of modern genres. Despite the the sound of the 70s/80s/90s it still sound fresh and brand new. Definitely one of my new favourite of Beyoncé

    Beyoncé has undeniably reinvented her music, created a new standard, and improved sonically after every album for the last 23 years. act i: RENAISSANCE furthermore proves that theory. This album is the digital definition of joy, love, sexiness, and fun! It will go down in history as one of her greatest projects.

This album feels like the most beautiful open love letter , after the last few years we've all had the emotions were running high listening to this beautiful body of work, it Exudes warmth , love , joy , freedom , acceptance!! Truly it's something special , it's cohesive and blends together perfectly ! Marrying together disco / House & ballroom culture and vibe was nothing short of genius … Expand

    An astonishing album - perhaps her best to date. Ambitious, joyous, and treading entirely new ground for her, this is an essential listen, and the best album of 2022.

    Out the gate, my 3rd favourite album from Beyonce. Proves that she still has her spot on top of the music food chain. Pure dance, club, and still keeps her level of black excellence, sampling profound black artists as well as including a list of black LQBTQIA+ artists and people. She knows her audience, and this is for her fans and for those who love dance and retro sounds.

    It's amazing how Beyoncé manages to work beautifully and perfectly in all the sounds of her music, Renaissance together with Lemonade and The Gift are proof of that. Beyoncé is a phenomenal artist and every era we are delighted to experience that. Renaissance is an amazing album.

    Impecável, ela entrega tudo em cada música. Impossível não se envolver. Impressionante como ela consegue entregar música de tão alta qualidade num gênero que já foi tão explorado.

    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.
